Tellwell is a storytelling and content creation marketing firm that creates emotional connections with audiences by sharing authentic stories of great organizations. We believe that story is the most powerful way to introduce an organization’s brand, educate and engage their audiences, and remind those audiences why they love the brand. Our ultimate goal is to help organizations tell their stories through engaging video, actionable writing, beautiful design, and fantastic web experiences that drive action while also building one of the best companies to work for in the Midwest!

We’re a small team with fun clients, big vision, and aspirations to stay small and hit above our weight class.

We’re looking for a video editor (bonus for motion graphics experience)—someone with a knack for pulling narratives from interviews, crafting broadcast and social spots from scratch, and the skill to translate great stories, words, and imagery to life on screen.

You’re passionate about sharing great stories and helping mission-driven organizations navigate new digital landscapes. You know that when your Tribe wins, you win. As a member of the video team, you support in the post-production process by creating compelling visual content. You will work hand in hand with the whole creative team (film, design, writing, web) and the Chief Storyteller to deliver impactful video content for our Tellwell Tribe.

As a video editor, you will continue honing your craft in filmmaking and refine your storytelling abilities. You also have a strong affinity with the Tellwell brand and company culture, and believe in Tellwell's goals and future growth—this is a very fast-paced environment and it’s essential that you bring the energy every day. It is your responsibility to help cultivate that enthusiasm within your creative team.

Client Partnership & Day-to-Day Communication

Stellar client service is an art. When your clients ask questions, you give them true answers—Tellwell doesn’t make things up to cover things up. You communicate with them in their own organization’s language—you become a part of their organization just as much as they’re a part of ours.
