Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You’re conceptual thinkers and exceptional makers. Player-coaches who can lead a room, mentor a team, present to clients and still get your hands dirty making the work better.
  • You really know social. Not "we cut the TV spot down for TikTok" social. We mean creatives who understand what makes social social. People who know the difference between creating content and creating conversation.
  • Who follow culture closely enough to know what people are talking about today and are smart enough to figure out what they'll want to talk about tomorrow.

  • You'll also join a small team that's won 20+ international awards in three years.

Requirements

  • Strong social experience isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s essential.
  • Integrated thinkers with standout social-first work
  • Deep understanding of TikTok, Snapchat and emerging social behaviors
  • Big conceptual thinkers who obsess over execution
  • Comedy experience. A must.
  • Sports experience. A plus.
  • Confident client-facing presenters
  • Collaborative leaders who make the people and the work around them better
  • For Art, we’re looking for exceptional visual craft plus serious fluency with today’s AI creative tools.
  • For Copy, we’re looking for someone who can nail the manifesto, the :30, the headline and the social post, with genuinely great comedy instincts throughout.

Benefits

  • Our benefits package includes medical coverage, dental, vision, disability, 401K, as well as parental and family care leave, family forming assistance, tuition reimbursement, and flexible time off.
