The Opportunity

We're seeking a talented social-first Content Creator (English/German) to join our team. In this key role, you'll channel your creativity and copywriting skills to craft eye-catching content, elevate a client's social presence, and grow their audience across leading social platforms, especially TikTok and Instagram. You will be responsible for the entire content creation process, including planning, shooting, and designing social-first visuals and videos tailored to each channel.

You'll leverage your innovative ideas and deep understanding of British and German cultures to produce content that is both culturally relevant and responsive to current trends, helping an FMCG client distinguish their brand in a highly competitive social media landscape.

You will act as the guardian of our client's social media tone of voice and persona, combining excellence in bilingual copywriting, concept ideation and content creation for social-first campaigns, and a proactive approach to trendspotting and cultural moments.

If you want to make a significant impact and help a leading FMCG brand evolve and transform its image, we'd love to hear from you!

• Social Listening: Collaborate with engagement teams to surface relevant social insights and community trends for future content planning.
