ABOUT ROBOPIXEL
RoboPixel (robopixel.eu) is a new brand in Germany (just launched) makes custom phone cases for people who live in two worlds:
SYSTEM — Gaming, cyberpunk, techwear, EDC, PC culture, futuristic aesthetics.
STREETS — Cars, JDM, tuners, drifting, street racing, automotive culture.
We're not building another generic phone accessory brand. We're building a culture-first brand for people who identify with these worlds. You create within the System and Streets worlds — that's the fence, and inside it you have huge creative freedom.
If terms like Cyberpunk 2077, Need for Speed, Initial D, JDM, PC setups, mechanical keyboards, techwear, racing games, drifting, and internet culture excite you rather than confuse you — keep reading.
Language & audience: Content is in English, aimed at the global gaming and car-culture community (our buyers skew European). You focus on culture and craft; I handle the local-market layer-if required.
THIS IS NOT JUST A VIDEO EDITING JOB
I'm a solo founder looking for someone to help build a brand from the ground up. I need someone who contributes ideas, researches trends, understands culture, and helps grow the brand — not someone who waits for instructions every day.
You'll post to RoboPixel-owned accounts (not your own), and you'll have a real say in where they go.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Content Research
• Research TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, Reddit, and gaming + automotive communities
• Identify trends, formats, hooks, sounds, and styles that are performing
• Understand what makes gamers and car enthusiasts stop scrolling
Content Creation & Editing
• Create engaging short-form video from product images, our AI brand characters, AI tools, and licensed footage/trending formats
• Edit vertical videos with strong hooks, pacing, storytelling, captions, and retention techniques
• Entertain first, sell second — develop multiple concepts every week
Growth Strategy
• Recommend content ideas proactively and plan posting schedules
• Suggest experiments and tests, then analyze what works and what doesn't
• Bring ideas to the table instead of waiting for instructions
Community Building
• Engage with comments and DMs in our voice
• Turn viewers into followers and followers into fans

CADENCE, TOOLS & WHAT I PROVIDE
• Cadence: ~3–5 posts/week per platform (TikTok + IG to start). Community replies ~30 min/day.
• Hours: Async PH hours are fine. One short weekly sync call with me.
• I provide: a brand voice guide; an organized asset drive (designs, phone-case blank images); and a $70/month budget for Higgsfield (Plus plan / 1,200 credits) or your preferred AI content-creation platform.
• Asset rule: Don't use unlicensed content that could put the brand at legal or reputational risk.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR
You do NOT need years of agency experience. You DO need strong instincts.
• Understand gaming culture, automotive culture, or both — from the inside
• Spend time online and get internet culture
• Spot trends before they're overused
• Can explain WHY content will perform
• Research before creating, communicate clearly, hit deadlines
• Excited to build something long-term
Bonus if you: are an active gamer or car enthusiast, have grown social accounts before, follow gaming/car/ ---------- /culture pages, or know video editing — any software.
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR
• Agencies or teams outsourcing work
• People using generic templates for everything
• People who need detailed instructions for every task
• People who can edit but don't understand culture
• People sending copy-paste applications

COMPENSATION & GROWTH PATH
Base: USD $ ---------- /month, part-time (20 hrs/week).
The raise path is real and concrete:
• After 90 days hitting agreed KPIs (consistent posting, growing engagement, early conversions) ? base can be raised.
Results-Based Bonuses — I reward outcomes, not time
The bonus that matters most — Conversions (recurring):
Content that drives actual buyers, not just viewers.
• Tracked clicks to our store (your bio link / UTM, coupon code, or whatever setup you like) ? tiered monthly bonus.
• 15% of attributed sales revenue, every month — the potential is truly unlimited. For example, a phone case that sells for $40 generates a $6 commission on a single sale.
• Fair-attribution terms: paid on total revenue (not just profit).
Reach & Growth Bonuses — *quality-gated* (see rule below):
Follower Milestones (one-time): 5k ? +$50 · 10k ? +$25 · 20k ? +$50 · 30k ? +$75 · 50k ? +$100 · 100k ? +$300
Viral Videos (recurring, every video): 100k views ? +$35 · 250k ? +$75 · 500k ? +$150 · 1M+ ? +$300
Monthly Engagement (recurring): 8%+ ? +$25 · 10%+ ? +$50 · 12%+ ? +$100
THE QUALITY GATE — read this. Reach/follower/engagement bonuses only pay out if analytics confirm growth is organic and on-target: 60%+ of audience from EU/NA, with DE/AT/CH/UK/FR/NL among top countries, skewing gaming/tech/car interests. Ineligible: bought followers, bot views, giveaways/follow-loops, comment pods, or reposted third-party edits. Deleting underperformers at end of month to inflate monthly averages voids that month.
Conversion bonuses are uncapped — that's where the real upside is. Quality of audience beats raw numbers, always.
How bonuses are measured: native platform analytics + our Shopify dashboard, reviewed monthly, paid the following cycle. I'll always show you the numbers.

PAID TRIAL
Every shortlisted candidate does a paid trial. I provide product images and brand positioning.
Your task: pitch 3 short-form concepts, then deliver 1 fully finished vertical video + explain your hook strategy and reasoning for all three.
Duration: up to 1 week. Payment: USD $100, paid whether or not we continue.

HOW TO APPLY (this IS the test — most won't follow it)
Step 1 — Start your application with the word MAINFRAME as the VERY FIRST WORD. No MAINFRAME, no reply.
Step 2 — Pick ONE tribe — Gamers/Tech OR Car Enthusiasts. In 3–5 sentences, give me ONE content idea that would make that community engage, comment, and follow — and explain WHY it works. This is the most important part of your application.
Step 3 — Name ONE creator or brand whose short-form content you genuinely admire, and explain the strategy behind why it works — not just why it's cool.
Step 4 — Send 2–3 links to short-form vertical videos YOU personally edited. No agency portfolios, no team projects you didn't cut yourself.
Step 5 — Tell me your weekly availability, your rate expectations, and your editing software.
Applications that don't follow these steps will not be considered.
