Social Media Creative Producer

We're looking for a Social Creative Producer to come and join us at Curveball, working with our clients in sport.

WHO ARE CURVEBALL?

We're an award-winning Social Creative Agency specialising in sports production, social media and content strategy. We started as a two (Paddy and Kev) with a passion for storytelling and how social media can bring fans closer to the action and their heroes. In previous roles, they developed content series and social campaigns around the world's biggest sporting events, and for almost four years they've been helping brands, rightsholders and federations reach more people through content made for social. We're now a team of 10 with some big nominations and awards, a new office and a team creating promos, branded content, short-form social features, and both long and short-form content for big brands, sports organisations and agencies. We cover a wide range of content all over the world too and get to go to some amazing events!

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We believe that content for social should always be created with a clear purpose and that understanding why someone would engage with what you're creating is the key to success. So we’re looking for someone with the same enthusiasm as us to join our journey to greatness. In social and sport, it's vital to be pro-active and always planning for the next big moment. The Social Creative Producer will be always looking for opportunities to make something different, be a meticulous planner and someone who isn't just on top of trends, but creating their own.
