This role sits within Freuds social team, a specialist team of 15 within Freud Communications. The team exists to service all clients within the agency on both a consulting and paid basis, ensuring all teams are kept abreast of the latest social best practice. Services provided include content strategy and channel planning, campaign activation, visible leadership and paid media management. The team consists of 7 specialists plugging into many integrated accounts on both a retained and project basis, including Mars, Danone, You Can Adopt, Samsung, Millennium and Prosus.

We are looking for a creatively minded Social Media Account Manager / Social Content Producer who thrives on building standout social content and managing channels end-to-end - from concept to publication.

You will work across a varied portfolio spanning a well-known podcast, a restaurant brand, the national adoption campaign You Can Adopt, a charity partner, and a global tech investment firm. This role suits someone with solid experience managing clients, delivering content plans end-to-end, and bringing creative precision to every post.

• Collaborate with design and motion teams to brief and refine visual assets.
• Stay ahead of social trends and bring new creative ideas and platform innovations into campaigns.
• Attendance at shoots to capture and publish live content on iPhones or for banking to develop bespoke assets with our design and motion team.
