Brand & Messaging Strategist for Student Service

Job ID: 40057991

Budget: $10 – $30 CAD

I’m building a student-focused service brand that helps students turn messy academic and career documents into clean, professional, submission-ready PDFs (Word & LaTeX).

The core service targets Bachelor, Master, and PhD students working on:

theses & dissertations

lab reports & academic projects

research papers

CVs, cover letters & student applications

I’m now looking for a Brand & Messaging Strategist / Copywriter to structure the messaging, posts, and content guidelines before scaling visibility in large student communities.

Your role (very important)

Your job is not design execution, but strategic content & messaging that will later be given to:

graphic designers (static posts),

video editors / motion designers (Reels),

and used directly for Facebook group posts.

I will share my marketing axes and core ideas.
You will refine them, structure them, and translate them into clear, actionable content directions.

What I need from you
1. Brand positioning (very concise)

Define a clear positioning sentence for the brand.

Keep the focus on students only.

Allow extension from academic documents → academic + career documents (CVs).

2. Brand pillars & emotional messaging

Define 3–5 strong marketing pillars (stress removal, time saved, confidence, professional result, submission-ready).

Turn them into short phrases that can be reused everywhere.

3. Facebook group posts (core deliverable)

Write 2–3 ready-to-post Facebook messages:

Audience: students preparing theses, reports, projects, CVs.

Structure: problem → relief → solution → CTA.

Tone: reassuring, professional, student-friendly.

Bilingual format:

French line

English line
(same message, both languages).

These posts must be directly usable.

4. Static image posts – directives

Provide clear instructions for designers:

What the image should show (concept, not design).

What text should appear on the image (short FR/EN lines).

What emotion the image must trigger.

How it connects to the brand pillars.

Example:

“Image showing messy document → clean PDF. Short headline FR/EN. Feeling: relief + confidence.”

5. Reels / short videos – directives

Provide 2 Reel concepts, including:

Hook (first 2–3 seconds).

What is shown visually.

On-screen text (FR + EN).

Emotional objective.

CTA.

This will be given directly to video editors / motion designers.

6. Use of “proof” (examples, not claims)

You may suggest examples that could be used in messaging, such as:

“hundreds of theses”,

“hundreds of lab reports”,

“many academic documents formatted in 2025”.

These are illustrative elements you may integrate as optional messaging examples, not as established claims.

Deliverables

1 concise brand & messaging document (2–3 pages max).

2–3 Facebook post texts (ready to publish).

1 static post content guide (for designers).

1 Reel content guide (for video editors).

Format: Google Doc / Word / PDF.

Ideal profile

Strong experience in brand messaging & copywriting.

Comfortable structuring content for designers and video editors.

Bonus: experience with students / education-related services.

To apply

Please include:

1–3 relevant examples (branding / messaging / content strategy).

In 3–5 lines, explain how you would approach:

clarifying the brand positioning,

structuring posts and content directives for students.
