About the Role
As a Content Ideator at Network18, you will be part of a team that creates ideas for some of India’s biggest brands and audiences. The ideas could take the form of videos, social-first content, podcasts, events, experiences, digital series, IPs or something completely new.
You could be working on an idea that starts with a blank sheet of paper or taking a sponsor brief and turning it into something fresh, engaging and commercially viable.
The role goes beyond just coming up with ideas. You will need to shape the idea, build a compelling story around it, create a sharp presentation and confidently pitch it to a potential sponsor.
You don’t need to come from a TV background. We’re particularly interested in people who have worked in digital, social media, short-form content, branded content, agencies, creator ecosystems, events, experiences or other new-age content formats.
You could be a content strategist, creative planner, social media professional, branded content specialist, agency creative, creator-economy professional, event/experience designer or digital storyteller. What matters is how you think, not where you come from.
What You’ll Do
- Come up with fresh, monetisable content ideas across video, digital, social, audio, events, experiences and other emerging formats.
- Look beyond the obvious — track trends, formats, consumer behaviour and emerging conversations to identify interesting opportunities.
- Take a sponsor brief and turn it into a strong content idea that works for both the audience and the brand.
- Turn ideas into clear, compelling and well-designed PPT decks that tell the story and sell the opportunity.
- Present and pitch your ideas to clients and potential sponsors with the ability to explain and sell the thinking behind the idea, rather than simply read from a deck.
- Work closely with sales, editorial, production, design and execution teams to take promising ideas forward.
- Stay curious about what’s happening across content, technology, creators, social media, entertainment, business and culture, and bring those insights into your ideas.
- Use AI tools intelligently for research, brainstorming, visualisation and rapid development of concepts.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–7 years of experience in content, digital, social media, branded content, advertising, media, events, experiences, creator platforms or related fields.
- Someone who naturally thinks in ideas and enjoys coming up with new concepts.
- Strong storytelling skills, both in writing and in presenting.
- The ability to come up with ideas that are creative, differentiated and actually executable.
- Strong PPT / presentation skills and a good eye for how an idea should be presented visually.
- Comfort with client-facing conversations and the ability to confidently pitch an idea.
- A good understanding of how content is evolving across platforms and formats.
- Comfortable using AI tools as part of the creative and ideation process.
- Ability to work on multiple briefs, often with tight timelines, without compromising on the quality of thinking.
- Strong collaboration skills and a willingness to work across teams.
