Founding Content & Creative Member

Tivvio is building the future of event discovery and ticketing in South Africa.

We're creating a platform that makes it easier for people to discover what's happening around them — from concerts and festivals to nightlife, experiences, workshops, community events and everything in between.

We're still early.

That means we're not looking for someone to simply "do a job."

We're looking for someone who wants to help build the brand from the ground up.

The Role

We're looking for a Founding Content & Creative Member to take ownership of Tivvio's visual content and social presence.

Your job isn't just to make graphics.

Your job is to help make Tivvio culturally relevant.

We want someone who understands South African internet culture, knows what makes people stop scrolling, and can turn an idea into content people actually want to share.

You'll work directly with the founder to develop Tivvio's content engine across Instagram, TikTok and other social channels.

What you'll be doing

Content

• Create engaging Instagram carousels and posts
• Produce short-form video and Reels/TikTok content
• Create Stories and interactive social content
• Turn events, trends and ideas into compelling content
• Repurpose successful content across multiple platforms

Creative

• Develop Tivvio's visual identity across social media
• Create reusable templates and content systems
• Design event promotional assets
• Create campaign and partnership creatives
• Help maintain consistency across the Tivvio brand

Growth

• Identify trends, conversations and cultural moments Tivvio can participate in
• Experiment with different content formats and hooks
• Analyse content performance and learn what resonates
• Develop shareable content designed to grow Tivvio's audience
• Work closely with the founder on campaigns designed to attract event organisers and event-goers

The type of person we're looking for

We're less interested in your formal qualifications and more interested in what you can create.

You could be a:

• Graphic designer
• Content creator
• Social media designer
• Motion designer
• Digital creative
• Video editor
• Design student or self-taught creator

What matters is that you have strong visual taste, creativity and initiative.

You should:

• Understand Instagram and TikTok culture
• Have strong graphic design fundamentals
• Be comfortable creating short-form video
• Understand what makes content shareable
• Have an eye for typography, composition and visual storytelling
• Be curious about trends and culture
• Be comfortable experimenting
• Be able to work independently
• Be willing to take ownership rather than wait for instructions
• Ideally have a strong interest in events, music, entertainment, nightlife, culture or technology

A huge plus

You understand South African culture and humour.

You know that something doesn't have to be polished and corporate to perform.

You know the difference between content that looks nice and content that makes someone say:

> "Yoh 😭 I remember this."

That's the kind of creative thinking we're looking for.

What we're offering

This is an early-stage founding role, so this isn't a conventional salaried position.

Equity: 2% in Tivvio

The role will receive 2% equity, subject to a formal equity agreement.

This means you're not just working for Tivvio.

You'll have an opportunity to own a small part of what we're building.

Time commitment

We're initially looking for approximately 4–6 hours per week.

The goal isn't to fill your calendar.

It's to give you enough ownership and responsibility to make a meaningful contribution while we're still early.

Future compensation

As Tivvio grows and external funding or sufficient revenue is secured, the intention is for this founding role to transition into a paid position, with compensation and responsibilities agreed at that stage.

What success looks like

After joining, we'd want you to help us build a repeatable content engine.

Success should sound like:

"Tivvio is becoming an account people actually follow because they want to know what's happening."

And look like:

• Consistent weekly content
• Increasing organic reach
• Higher shares and saves
• Growing Tivvio's social audience
• Stronger brand recognition
• Better event promotion
• More people discovering events through Tivvio
• More event organisers wanting to be featured on Tivvio
• A recognisable Tivvio creative style

Why join this early?

Because you're not joining an established marketing department.

You'd be helping create it.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Help shape Tivvio's brand
• Build a portfolio around a real startup
• Work directly with the founder
• Experiment with content and growth
• Have meaningful ownership in an early-stage company
• Potentially grow into Tivvio's future creative/content lead

If Tivvio becomes what we're aiming to build, the person who helped establish the brand and content engine from the beginning will have been there from the start.

Who this is NOT for

This probably isn't the right role if you're looking for:

• A traditional 9–5
• Detailed instructions for every task
• A purely graphic-design role
• A corporate environment
• Guaranteed salary from day one

We're looking for someone who can build something amazing from a blank canvas

How to apply

Send us:

1. A short introduction about yourself
2. Your portfolio or examples of your work
3. Your Instagram/TikTok/other creative profiles if relevant
4. One example of a piece of content you think Tivvio should create
5. A short answer to this question:

"If you were responsible for making Tivvio one of the most recognisable event brands in South Africa, what would you do?"

We're much more interested in how you think than how polished your CV is.
