MikMak is looking for a UX \/ visual designer to revamp our embeddable player and help us think through a client-facing CMS for our new B2B phase.\u00a0Here’s an example of the current player<\/a>\u00a0(scroll down to see it in action and click ‘toggle layout’ for the full responsive view). The goal is to white label the player to fit a brand’s identity and build a system to allow a brand to distribute their player through media channels. We’re approaching this as a greenfield project – current player example is just for context.\u00a0See here for a full creative brief<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The initial project will require 2-3 months of work, and could lead to more. Ideally we’d have a few days of face time a week in our Bushwick office, but we’re flexible – full-time, freelance and remote work are all options.<\/div>\n

After one year of MikMak being live, \u201cthe QVC for the Snapchat generation\u201d is making its tools available for all brands. Turn your eCommerce and media channels into a mobile-first shoppable-video platform, no engineering necessary!<\/p>\n

MVP Platform:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first part of the enterprise tool that we\u2019re rolling out focuses on the shoppable video media distribution. A brand buys a monthly series of minimercials from MikMak which then can be distributed across our partner network. Minimercials have been distributed across these networks : AOL, Buzzfeed, Conde Nast, Distractify, Facebook, Hearst, Snapchat, Twitter, YouNow and YouTube. View live examples here on AOL<\/a> and Buzzfeed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After this piece, we will build a web-app interface that turns any web based mobile commerce experience into \u201cYourBrandTV\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

            Potential features<\/p>\n

            For the MVP, we\u2019d like automate some but not all of the processes depending on the required engineering work. We will prioritize features that enable users to complete a purchase and use email, Google forms, and other services to fill in for yet to be built parts of the platform.<\/p>\n
