Job Summary

Own end-to-end development of socially led campaigns and multi-channel work, shaping ideas through strategic insights and storytelling with a writing-focused background, while collaborating across strategy, media, DnA and tech.

  • Lead socially driven work from large campaigns to day-to-day tasks
  • Inform and sell ideas through strategic insights and storytelling
  • Collaborate across strategy, media, DnA and tech

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Help lead teams in the development and execution of socially led work that spans across large-scale social campaigns to smaller day-to-day projects, and could include multi-channel work that spans all things digital.
  • Understand the value of strategic insights, experiences and storytelling to create and sell your ideas.
  • While this role is specifically for candidates with a writing background, an appreciation and understanding of the craft (both art direction and copywriting) is a must.
  • Partner with agency capabilities including strategy, media, DnA and tech to help inform the work.
  • Build relationships internally and externally.

Requirements

  • Four-year degree and at least six years at a competitive creative agency. Work should include strong social experience, demonstrating an understanding of writing specifically for social, and a track record of successful creative work, along with experience working on cross-channel campaigns.
  • Experience working on clients in heavily regulated industries is a plus.
  • Energy, a sense of humor, and an open and curious mind — yes, these things really do matter. So does being straightforward, candid and, above all, respectful — of the work and your peers.
  • Awards are a nice bonus, but original breakthrough ideas and real creative problem-solving are even better.
  • Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALL·E, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation.
  • An understanding of the nuances between social platforms, from Instagram and Facebook to TikTok and LinkedIn (and everything in between)
