  • Use team-provided templates, intros, motion graphics, and brand assets consistently across channels.
  • Participate in post-mortems and apply learnings to continuously improve performance across platforms.
  • Assist with basic production needs such as props or simple scene setups.
  • Offer thoughtful revision feedback when requested.
  • Monitor channel comments periodically to remove spam and support a healthy viewer environment.
