Account Director (German Speaking)

Company description Fabric Social is a social-first creative agency.

We were born into - and built for - the new era of social.

An era where audiences gather around interests, communities and culture, not brands.

So we built a different kind of agency.

One that brings strategy, trend-first creative, production, community, creators and paid into a single social engine - designed for how social actually works.

We turn brands on social into social brands - the ones people choose to follow, talk about and bring into culture.

Not the ones interrupting it.

Some of our clients include Currys, Sky, Subway, Autotrader, Morrisons, Holland & Barrett, Just Eat, Garnier, Vodafone, Kleenex, Andrex, and more.
