About Us
We're OOB. A London-born, globally fluent social agency that turns brands into cultural icons. A studio that ships and refuses to be boring.
What you'll do
- Publish. Own scheduling and publishing across platforms. On time, correctly formatted, on strategy. Every time.
- Create. Work with the wider team on content creation, filming, editing and design. You're able to turn your hand to this when needed, too.
- Optimise. Adapt every asset for the platform it lives on. Captions, formats, structure, feed behaviour. Nothing goes live half-fit.
- Plan. Run the content calendar with the team. Keep the mix right: always‑on, campaign, reactive.
- Listen. Watch the conversation. Flag the trends, the appropriate moments and openings worth jumping on, keep responses fast and on tone.
- Prove it. Track engagement, reach, retention and CTR. Turn that into clear feedback for the wider team. Say what to scale, what to fix, what to kill.
- Go global. Support publishing and local adaptation across markets, so what works in one lands properly in the next.
