Stadium Vault is our newest venture into the world of sports and TCG (Trading Card Game) collectibles — blending the culture of card collecting, pack openings, and grading with the digital-first, community-driven experience Stadium Live is known for. Think sports cards x Whatnot x content-first commerce.

Stadium Live is gamifying sports fandom – building the #1 Gamified Sports & Entertainment Platform for Next-Gen Fans. Think modern-day Barstool Sports x Duolingo for sports. Fans can make sports and pop culture predictions free using virtual currency, complete challenges, and experience sports with millions of fans across the world. Our content reaches millions monthly across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snap, and directly inside our app through live content, notifications, and news drops. We are backed by Union Square Ventures, KB Partners, Kevin Durant (35VC), and the founders of NBA Top Shot, Zenly, Club Penguin.

This is a structured, learning-first fellowship designed for students or early-career creators seeking hands-on video content creation experience in the sports & collectibles space.

About the role

This fellowship is for video-first creators who live and breathe the collectibles world — sports cards, Pokémon, One Piece, NBA/NFL memorabilia, pack rips, grading reveals, and everything in between. You’ll be creating TikTok and Instagram content that brings the Stadium Vault brand to life, builds community, and drives virality. You must be comfortable on camera and capable of shooting and editing your own videos — this is a core part of the role, not a nice-to-have.

What you'll do

• Create short-form video content (TikTok, Instagram Reels) around pack openings, card reveals, grading results, and collectibles culture
• Appear on camera for pack rips, reviews, reactions, and collectibles commentary
• Shoot and edit your own videos end-to-end — filming, cutting, captioning, and posting
• Help develop recurring content series and formats (e.g., “$5 vs $500 pack rip,” “Grade or Trash,” “Hidden Gems”)
• Track trending moments, sounds, and formats in the collectibles and TCG space and turn them into timely content
• Assist with community engagement — responding to comments, tracking what’s resonating, and surfacing fan ideas
• Collaborate with the content team during live events, drops, and product launches

What you'll get

• Practical experience creating viral video content for a growing brand in the collectibles and sports media space
• Your work distributed to real audiences across TikTok and Instagram
• Clear portfolio examples and strong references
• Mentorship and exposure to how content, community, and commerce intersect
• Priority consideration for future paid or contract roles

Who's this for

• Students or recent grads in media, communications, marketing, journalism, or related fields
• Collectors, card enthusiasts, and TCG culture natives who already follow and engage with the space
• Creators who are already making content on TikTok and/or Instagram — even if the audience is small, we want to see the work
• Comfortable on camera with a natural, engaging presence
• Curious about how content drives community and commerce — not just views

This fellowship is time-limited, educational in nature, and suitable for academic credit or experiential learning programs where applicable.

Qualifications

• Experience creating engaging video content around sports cards, TCG, collectibles, or adjacent fandoms
• Comfortable appearing on camera with a natural, authentic presence
• Able to shoot and edit your own short-form videos (filming, editing, captioning, posting)
• A strong knowledge of the sports card and/or TCG market (Pokémon, One Piece, Panini, Topps, etc.)
• Strong sports and/or pop culture knowledge
• Experience with video editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, InShot, or equivalent)
• Successful candidates will be GTA-based and able to commute downtown

Nice to Have

• Content that has gained viral traction on TikTok or Instagram (high view counts, shares, or engagement relative to follower size)
• An existing social presence or following in the collectibles/TCG space
• Experience with live streaming or real-time content (e.g., pack opening livestreams)
• Experience working in sports, gaming, social, music, or fashion tech

How to Apply

Note: Applications missing the required links will not be reviewed. We will not review portfolio websites — we want to see your actual TikTok and/or Instagram content.

Please include:

• A short intro (2–3 paragraphs max) — tell us about your connection to the collectibles world
• Direct links to TikTok and/or Instagram video content you’ve created (pack openings, card content, reactions, edits — personal or school projects are fine)
• Links to creators or accounts in the collectibles space you admire, with a brief note on why

We care more about taste, instincts, and effort than resumes.
