Midweight Creative (Social)

JOB DESCRIPTION: Midweight Creative (Social)  

Internally this will be known as ‘Creative’  

This position sits in our Marketing & Technology service based in London. We combine data, technology, creative content, and paid media to crack brands’ business problems & drive revenue through a variety of digital marketing solutions like ad campaigns, augmented reality, and chatbots. Our clients include eBay, easyJet, Just Eat Takeaway, Twitch, VISA, and The White Company. 

 

JOB PURPOSE

We’re on the hunt for a superstar creative to join our team – someone filled with stand-out creative ideas, first class cultural insights and brilliant social trends knowledge. 

You’ll be a culture-obsessed creative, ready to join our team to work on our exciting roster of consumer brands and come up with eye-catching organic social ideas that are designed to be discovered in the fyp and beyond. Your ideas will connect brands within communities and culture - not just adding to the noise, but building and creating real connections and driving engagement around organic social content.

You’ll bring experience from a social role in-house, or in agency and be able to sell your ideas with flair. You’ll be able to demonstrate this with experience including concepting, presenting with confidence and backing up your ideas with strategic insights, trends and data. 

This role requires concepting, social shoots, storyboarding, reactive cultural content and copywriting so it goes without saying that you’ll know the latest ‘creator coded’ social trends before anyone else does – and understand how to spin those insights into compelling social-first content for brands.
