Join The Hammer’s Creator Team

We’re Hamilton’s fastest-growing local media brand, and we’re looking for creators to help us tell the city’s stories.

What we’re hiring for right now

We’re looking for on-camera creators for paid trial sessions. You’ll spend an afternoon filming short-form clips around Hamilton — think neighbourhood features, new business spotlights, event coverage, and the kind of stuff that makes people stop scrolling.

If the trial goes well, there’s an ongoing role waiting.

What we’re looking for

  • Comfortable on camera — you’ll be the face of the videos,
    not just behind the lens
  • A good eye and a steady hand (your own gear, even if it’s
    just a phone with a gimbal)
  • Someone who actually likes Hamilton and knows the city
  • Reliable, easy to work with, can turn footage around quickly
  • Bonus points if you can edit, but not required

What you get

  • Paid for the trial day (we’ll discuss rate based on your experience)
  • Footage you can use in your own portfolio and reel
  • A potential ongoing gig with a brand with 60,000+ followers and reaching millions of views every week
  • First look at other paid opportunities as we grow — including a weekly podcast we’re planning to launch
  • A real shot at being one of the faces of Hamilton’s local media scene
