About Akwaaba
Akwaaba is a curated Ghana travel brand. We help the diaspora come home, and the brand they meet along the way matters as much as the trip itself. We’re a small team. The work is real.
The role
You will own the visual language of Akwaaba across film, design, and social. That includes brand films, short-form social cuts, host stories, and the look of every campaign that runs. You will work directly with the Marketing Lead and have a real seat at the table, not a hand-off queue.
What you’ll do
- Cut three to five short films a week for IG, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
- Design landing-page art, paid ad creative, and partner decks.
- Shoot on the ground in Ghana two to four times a year.
- Direct hosts through frames when you’re not behind the camera.
- Set the visual standard for everything that goes out.
Who you are
- You can cut a short film by yourself, from card to caption.
- You design in motion before you open a static canvas.
- You have a point of view on Ghana, whether you grew up there, visited, or have been watching from a distance.
- You can shoot on whatever you have. The eye is the asset.
- You can sit with a host, hear a story, and pull the right thirty seconds.
