• Develop social and campaign strategies (mostly across paid social), always ensuring output aligns to brand purpose and business objectives.  
• Create quarterly content plans, based on audience insights, local market C&E activations, global content creation and cultural opportunities. Manage the implementation of these strategies, championing a test-and-learn approach and ensuring content is genuinely optimised for channels. 
• In close-partnership with the Strategy lead, work fluidly in cross agency teams to bring a social-first perspective to integrated campaign planning. 
• Analyse the effectiveness of the social content we create in innovative ways and provide ongoing solutions for how to optimise it in cost-efficient ways.  
• Proactively stay on top of priority platform innovation and help keep the rest of the studio team well-informed about relevant trends and their impact on our social strategies.  
• Proactively seek out relevant cultural trends and best-in-class social practice. 
• Establish effective ‘ways of working’ with your local market team, ensuring all incoming briefs are triaged and well-understood.  
• Develop and execute plans to boost posts to priority audiences, and use learnings to further optimise activity.  
• Work in close partnership with the Channel Manager, who is responsible for moderating, posting and reporting on the core brands’ social channels.
