We’re a Tik Tok agency that gets brands cut through on Tik Tok. We’ve grown our own clients and communities to over 2 million followers and have hit 1 billion video views in the last 12 months.

We use these learnings to help brands reach new audiences, grow their Tik Tok following and engagement, and produce thumb-stoppingly good content that gets noticed on Tik Tok.

Our team is made up of Tik Tok ✨obsessed✨ experts who live and breathe the platform, and no two days are ever the same at Nonsensical.

We’re looking for an Apprentice Content Creator to join the team.

This is a brilliant opportunity to kickstart your career in content creation and get hands-on experience in what life at a Tik Tok-first agency is really like. One day you could be filming vox pops in Birmingham, the next you might be on a studio shoot in London, and the day after you’ll be editing content ready to go live.

You’ll shadow our content creators, support on shoots, and learn how to direct, capture, and edit content that actually works on Tik Tok.

If you’re obsessed with Tik Tok, love being behind the camera, and are eager to develop your skills in both filming and editing, this role will give you everything you need to grow.

• Shadow creators on shoots, before taking the camera yourself to create Tik Tok-first content
• Learn how to capture and edit engaging short-form video content
• Support on larger campaigns and studio shoots
• Keep up with Tik Tok trends, sounds, and editing styles
• Contribute ideas in brainstorms and meme factory sessions (yes, that’s a real thing here)
