Creative (Sports)

We’re looking for a Social Creative to work on some of the agency’s most exciting accounts, with a focus on coming up with original, unexpected and culturally informed content ideas.

Who We Are

We Are Social is a global socially-led creative agency with unrivalled social media expertise. With 1,300 people in 19 offices spanning four continents, we deliver a global perspective to our clients in a time when social media is shaping culture.

We’re proud to be a multi-award-winning agency, with Cannes Lions, One Show, Webby and Shorty Awards, to name but a few. Our most recent work has seen us help Pepsi, Meta and Adidas deliver some of their biggest and most innovative campaigns to date, from breaking into the metaverse to smashing records on TikTok.

As well as creating for clients, we help educate the wider industry. Our Instagram publication The Feed tracks culture at the speed of social. 6,500 people registered or tuned into our events last year, and our reports garnered more than 20 million views.

The Opportunity

Do you have a passion for art direction or copywriting, and storytelling across different social platforms? Want to work in an award-winning agency that works for some of the most iconic global brands of all time? Do you strive to create social-first ideas worth talking about, for some of the world’s biggest brands? And are you passionate about Sport?

We’re looking for a Social Creative to work on some of the agency’s most exciting accounts, with a focus on coming up with original, unexpected and culturally informed content ideas in the world of Sport. You’ll be answering briefs for global brands, with engaging, authentic social-first ideas that entertain or surprise and get saves and shares – ideas worth talking about, as we call them.

Your ambition should be to go beyond the everyday Sport content we see in our feeds, and make work that’s unexpected, striking and brand building beyond just copying trends. You will love making work that’s part of culture – work that people actually want to see in their feeds and lives.

To be considered, your book must have examples of creative ideas for Sports brands executed at speed with originality and flair. You are likely to have strong skills in art direction, copywriting or another creative discipline, but the most valuable output of your talent will be the ideas themselves.

What You’ll Have Delivered Elsewhere

• Generating culturally focused creative ideas for Sports brands with strong conceptual insight for social.

What Else Are We Looking For?

• Interest in Sport – that doesn’t mean an in-depth knowledge of every single sport, but being very passionate about at least one Sport, and understanding what makes Sport great in general, is a must.
• Wider cultural interests across music, culture, fashion, art etc.
• Experience establishing yourself as the go-to person for resource needs.
• A desire to always take full accountability for your results/deliverables.
• Being solutions-driven and confident in vocalising them.
