JOB PURPOSE

We’re on the hunt for a superstar social content creative – someone filled with stand-out creative ideas, first-class cultural insights, and brilliant social trends knowledge. You’ll be a culture-obsessed creative looking to work on an exciting roster of consumer brands, coming up with eye-catching organic social ideas designed to be discovered in the FYP and beyond. Your ideas will connect brands within communities and culture - not just adding to the noise, but building and creating real connections and driving engagement around organic social content. You’ll bring experience from a social role in-house or in an agency and be able to sell your ideas with flair. You’ll be able to demonstrate this with experience including concepting, presenting with confidence, and backing up your ideas with strategic insights, trends, and data. This role requires concepting, social shoots, storyboarding, reactive cultural content, and copywriting, so it goes without saying that you’ll know the latest ‘creator coded’ social trends before anyone else does – and understand how to spin those insights into compelling social-first content for brands.
