Paid Media Video Editor – Design-Driven Brand Storyteller

Job Position(s): Paid Media Video Editor - Design-Driven Brand Storyteller

Corston Architectural Detail is hiring a Paid Media Video Editor based in London, England, to join their in-house creative department. This role sits firmly in the post-production workflow, focused on cutting performance-driven video ads for paid social platforms including Meta and YouTube. It suits an editor who understands that a three-second hook and a clean product reveal are just as craft-driven as a long-form cut.

About the Role

You will be embedded in Corston’s in-house creative team, editing ad creatives that translate the brand’s architectural and design aesthetic into scroll-stopping video content. The work spans multiple platform formats, each with its own pacing and structural demands, so your day will move between selects, sound design choices, motion graphics handoffs, and performance reviews with the wider team. This is not a broadcast or episodic television environment, but the editorial discipline required is the same.

Key Responsibilities

• Cut and deliver video ad creatives optimised for Meta and YouTube placements, adapting aspect ratios and edit structure to platform-specific performance requirements.
• Review creative performance data alongside the paid media team and apply those findings directly to subsequent edit iterations.
• Maintain brand consistency across all video output, ensuring visual language, pacing, and tone align with Corston Architectural Detail’s design-led identity.
• Manage your own post-production workflow, including asset organisation, version control, and timely delivery of multiple concurrent projects.
• Collaborate with creative directors and marketing leads to refine the editorial approach as campaign briefs evolve.
• Source and cut licensed music, sound effects, and voiceover elements to support the storytelling in each ad creative.

What You Bring

• A minimum of two years of professional video editing experience, with a portfolio that includes paid social or performance-driven content.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics and title work.
• A clear understanding of how ad creatives perform across different paid media environments, not just how they look.
• Experience editing product-focused or brand content, ideally within a design, interiors, or lifestyle category.
• Strong judgment around pacing, colour, and visual hierarchy in a short-form post-production context.

Why This Role

Corston Architectural Detail is a recognised name in the premium architectural fittings space, and their creative output reflects that standard directly. The in-house setup means a Paid Media Video Editor here has genuine ownership over the work, without the brief-by-brief churn of agency life. For an editor who wants to develop deep expertise in brand storytelling through paid video, this is a substantive step.

Apply now for the Paid Media Video Editor position at Corston Architectural Detail and bring your editorial eye to a brand that takes design seriously.
