Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop strategic foundations, POVs, and insight-driven recommendations for client and agency projects by translating cultural, consumer, and platform insights into actionable strategies that inspire creative execution.
  • Partner with Client Services and Creative teams to transform client briefs into clear campaign objectives, facilitate brainstorming sessions, develop campaign narratives, and ensure creative work aligns with strategic goals, audience insights, and success metrics.
  • Monitor and analyze cultural trends, social behaviors, creators, and platform developments to inform social-first strategies, lead cultural and community audits, and identify emerging opportunities for clients.
  • Review and refine creator briefs and content, providing strategic and creative feedback to ensure deliverables align with campaign objectives, platform best practices, brand guidelines, and past performance learnings.
  • Leverage campaign performance data and industry insights to optimize future strategies, strengthen creative recommendations, and contribute to agency thought leadership.
  • Build trusted partnerships with clients by providing strategic guidance, collaborating cross-functionally with Client Services, Paid Media, Measurement, and Creative teams, and contributing innovative ideas that drive client success and agency growth.

Requirements

  • 2–3 years of experience developing and executing social strategies within an agency setting, with a strong understanding of social platforms, culture, and audience behavior.
  • Relentless Curiosity: Remain in constant pursuit of “the why” — embody the willingness to dig deep. We live inside the zeitgeist, not just observe it. We get below the surface of our data, audiences, and communities to unlock the central heartbeat of where Strategy and Creative connect.
  • Translating Observations Into Insights: Ability to take hard facts, stats, trends, and observations, and turn them into truths that reveal underlying tensions and motivations that will resonate with our audiences.
  • Creative Writing: Copy should be concise, precise, and simple… where simple doesn’t mean easy . It means being clear . Every word must earn its place on the page. Our words should fuel a feeling – we want to spark, provoke, and excite something in the reader.
  • Creator Intelligence: Deep understanding of what makes creator partnerships feel authentic, credible, and culturally relevant, ensuring creators remain at the heart of every story we tell.
  • The “Creative” In Strategy: Develop insight-driven strategies that inspire bold creative thinking, providing clear strategic direction while creating space for breakthrough ideas.
