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. Key Responsibilities Social-First Ideation Develop ideas that are born in social, not adapted into it Turn strategy and insight into culturally relevant, platform-native creative Bring strong, opinionated thinking into brainstorms and creative development Platform-Native Thinking Deep understanding of how content behaves differently across TikTok, Instagram, X, and emerging platforms Constant awareness of trends, creators, formats, memes, and cultural shifts Proactively bring ideas for how brands can show up in culture in real time Content Creation & Craft Develop strong social concepts across copy, visual direction, and content ideas Collaborate with design, motion, and production teams to bring ideas to life Ensure work feels native, relevant, and engaging on every platform Collaboration & Agility Work closely with multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced environment Respond quickly to feedback and evolve ideas at pace Contribute to always-on content and reactive opportunities Executional Standards Maintain a high standard of creative craft across all social outputs Ensure ideas are clear, sharp, and culturally relevant Support delivery of content calendars and campaign rollouts The Ideal Candidate Will Live and breathe social media, internet culture, and digital creativity Have experience in a creative, social, content, or digital role (agency or in-house) Be naturally ideas-led and confident contributing creatively in fast-paced discussions Understand what makes content native to platforms, not just formatted for them Be highly tuned into trends, creators, and cultural moments in real time Have a portfolio that demonstrates social-first thinking (ideas, content, campaigns, or storytelling) Be excited by experimentation, speed, and constant evolution Desirable (but not essential) Agency experience working specifically on social-first or integrated digital campaigns Hands-on experience creating or shaping content for TikTok, Instagram, or emerging platforms Understanding of design, motion, or content production workflows We’d love to hear from you if this sounds like the right next step.
