  • Proficient in color correction, LUTs, and basic grading
  • Skilled at applying brand guidelines, integrating logos, text overlays, and end cards seamlessly
  • Bonus: experience with sports content, including highlights, sizzle reels, or doc-style athlete features

Who We Are

Direct Agents is not a traditional agency. We are an elite team of builders and operators—growth strategists,media architects, and creative thinkers—who partner with ambitious brands to drive measurable revenue growth. Backed by Kanopy AI , our proprietary intelligence platform, and exclusive partnerships with tech and media platforms, we deliver the kind of unfair advantage that helps clients dominate, not just compete.

We operate at the intersection of technology, media, and strategy—where AI meets human expertise to produce outcomes that neither can achieve alone. Our client roster includes brands like Tennis Channel, Marvel, NYSE, Morgan Stanley, Prologis, and DistroKid.

Location: This is a contract, remote position.
