About SeatBid
SeatBid is a live-auction marketplace for last-minute sports and concert tickets. Instead of paying inflated resale prices and junk fees, fans name their price and bid on real seats in real time. We’re launching in major cities within the next two months, and we’re building the social presence to match.
The Role
You’ll own SeatBid’s social media presence through launch and beyond — and build it from the ground up. You’ll create the content, shape the look and voice of the brand on social, and manage the content calendars on Instagram and TikTok. Creativity is a must: we’re looking for someone with original ideas who can grow an audience of fans who are fed up with overpaying for tickets.
What You’ll Do
- Create original content and build/manage the content calendars for Instagram and TikTok (feed posts, Stories, Reels, carousels)
- Develop SeatBid’s visual style and voice on social — you create it, you own it
- Run community management: reply to comments and DMs, engage with fan/team/artist accounts, and build early buzz
- Support launch campaigns, giveaways, and city-by-city rollout marketing
- Track performance (reach, engagement, follower growth, link clicks) and report weekly on what’s working
- Stay on top of ticketing culture — presales, tour announcements, game days — and jump on timely content opportunities
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years managing social media for a brand, startup, or agency (consumer/entertainment a big plus)
- Strong Reels/short-form video skills — you can shoot, edit, and caption content that stops the scroll
- Proficiency with design and scheduling tools (Canva, CapCut, Later/Buffer or similar)
- Serious creativity — you generate original concepts and can build a distinctive, consistent brand look from scratch
- Genuine interest in live events, sports, or music
- Self-directed and fast-moving — this is a pre-launch startup, not a corporate marketing department
Nice to Have
- Experience with a marketplace, ticketing, or consumer app launch
- Paid social experience (Meta/TikTok ads)
- Based in or familiar with the Los Angeles sports and concert scene
