Valor Real Estate Development is a boutique luxury developer creating community-transforming real estate icons in emerging cities. Our portfolio is anchored by prestigious brand partnerships — currently Aston Martin and Roche Bobois — with further partnerships anticipated as the company scales. 

We are looking for a Junior Marketing & Creative Associate who brings genuine production skills to the table: someone who can pick up a camera, step behind a gimbal, sit at an edit bay, and produce material that looks and feels like the luxury brand we are. The ideal candidate is a marketing generalist with a creative production core — what the industry sometimes calls a "preditor" (producer, videographer, photographer, editor) — who is equally at home building a brand deck in InDesign, color-grading a walkthrough film, or scheduling a week of social content. 

IF YOU ARE APPLYING PLEASE INCLUDE A REEL OF PAST PROJECTS FOR REVIEW

The incoming associate will serve as an extension of the Deputy Marketing & Promotion Manager, covering the full range of day-to-day marketing execution — with a particular emphasis on creative production. Core responsibility areas include: 

A. Video Production & Editing Priority Area 

• Assist on all marketing film shoots: camera operation, gimbal work, b-roll capture, audio monitoring 
• Take ownership of short-to-medium format edits: property walkthroughs, event recaps, social reels, teaser cuts 
• Collaborate with the Deputy CEO on long-form marketing films: assembly edits, revisions, color, audio finishing 
• Operate and manage filming equipment: mirrorless cameras, gimbals, audio rigs, lighting setups 
• Manage media: organize footage libraries, back up assets, maintain project file hygiene 
• Deliver exports optimized for social platforms, web embeds, broadcast, and sales presentations 
• Eventually, develop capability to independently produce and direct short-form marketing content 

B. Photography Priority Area 

• Capture high-quality stills at events, sales gallery openings, construction milestones, and brand activations 
• Execute property and architectural photography: interiors, exteriors, amenity spaces, lifestyle moments 
• Cull, retouch, and deliver final selects that meet luxury brand standards 
• Build and maintain a well-organized photo archive by project, event, and date 
• Collaborate with the Deputy Manager on drone shoot days (ground crew and second camera) 
• Note: Licensed drone operation (Mavic Pro 4) remains the exclusive legal domain of the Deputy Manager. A candidate with their own Transport Canada or FAA drone certification is a significant tiebreaker. 

C. Social Media Management & Content Creation Priority Area 

• Assist with, and eventually own, day-to-day posting and scheduling across platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok) 
• Draft captions, copy, and hashtag strategies in the established Valor brand voice 
• Produce social-first content: reels, carousels, stories, short-form video 
• Repurpose long-form film and photography assets into platform-optimized social content 
• Track engagement metrics and recommend content improvements based on data 

D. Graphic Design & Brand Production 

• Design and produce print collateral across the full range: brochures, books, flyers, folders, sales packages, invitations, signage 
• Create social media graphics, story templates, and animated assets aligned to brand standards 
• Produce email blast artwork and HTML/template updates 
• Prepare all files for print production: pre-press, bleeds, color profiles, vendor submission 
• Enforce brand consistency rigorously across Valor corporate identity and all partner brand guidelines (Aston Martin, Roche Bobois, and future partners) 
• Assist with presentation decks, event materials, and sales support design 

 E. Copywriting & Content Production 

• Write and edit copy for email campaigns, website pages, marketing materials, and social posts 
• Contribute to scripts and shot lists for video productions 
• Work within the AI-assisted copywriting framework already established for Valor's brand voices 
• Assist with long-form content to build Valor's brand authority and reputation as a luxury developer 

F. Website Updates & Digital Maintenance 

• Make content updates to Valor's website(s): text, images, listings, project pages 
• Assist with landing pages for campaigns, events, and project launches 
• Upload, optimize, and organize media assets for web performance 

G. Email Marketing 

• Design and schedule email campaigns: newsletters, sales announcements, event invites, drip sequences 
• Manage list hygiene, segmentation, and basic reporting inside the existing ESP 
• Build or update HTML email templates as required 

H. Event, Campaign & Production Logistics 

• Help organize and execute sales events, project launches, and publicity activations — including on-site creative capture 
• Coordinate with vendors: printers, signage, promotional goods, A/V, event production 
• Manage Purchase Orders, vendor accounts, and marketing spend tracking 
• Support direct mail campaigns: design, list management, print production, mailing logistics 

I. Agency & Vendor Liaison Support 

• Assist the Deputy Manager in day-to-day communication with external marketing agencies and creative vendors 
• Track deliverables, timelines, and revision cycles across agency relationships 
• Compile creative briefs and feedback documents for external teams
