Job Description

Own and drive platform-native social creative across multiple channels, turning data-informed insights into iterative copy and formats while mentoring peers and integrating AI tools into a human, brand-consistent voice.

  • Actively participate in group discussions and creative meetings.
  • Write platform-native content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Threads and emerging channels — understanding the distinct voice, format and constraints of each.
  • Concept and write across formats: captions, short-form video scripts, reels, carousels, stories, ad copy and campaign-level social activations.
  • Collaborate with art directors, designers and content producers to bring ideas to life across visual and written formats.
  • Use performance data and engagement insights to inform and iterate on copy strategies.
  • Stay current on platform algorithm changes, emerging formats and cultural trends — and bring that knowledge to the work.
  • Work with outside resources including production companies, talent and audio production as needed.
  • Help create, organize and present effective creative presentations.
  • Mentor and guide associate copywriters when the opportunity arises.
  • Demonstrate fluency with AI tools as part of a modern creative workflow, while keeping the thinking sharp and the voice human.

Signal Theory

Signal Theory is a brand development, marketing and design firm with offices in Kansas City and Wichita. Our job is to help people and brands connect in ways that mean something, which is more complicated than it sounds. But it starts with something very small – the act of signaling. Something every living organism, no matter the size or complexity – does each and every day, a million times over. Sometimes the signals are loud and clear. Sometimes they are subconscious and require some coaxing. In any regard, we exist to find resonance in the signals that flow between people and brands. Because that’s how you build trust, provide powerful solutions and say something that truly resonates.
