The Role: Social Creative (Mid-Level)
We are looking for a Social Creative who doesn’t just “do social” — but genuinely lives and breathes it.
This role is for someone who is deeply immersed in social platforms, internet culture, creators, trends, and the fast-moving nature of how people actually engage online. You instinctively understand what works on social, what gets ignored, and what earns attention.
You’ll be responsible for generating bold, social-first ideas and turning them into content that feels native to each platform — not adapted for social, but made for it from the start.
You’ll work closely with strategists, designers, account teams, and producers to help bring ideas to life across a high-profile client account, contributing to work that runs across always-on content, campaigns, and real-time cultural moments.
