HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN

How you'll operate:

• You'll concept and collaborate on multiple digital and social content tactics with creative teams and other content creators.
• You'll collaborate with adjoining disciplines to contribute to the translation of the client's vision into a content roadmap that guides our agency.
• You'll craft original content-focused concepts, based on an established and unique brand voice/tone and strategic messaging. Collaborate with other creatives and cross-discipline partners from concept to execution.
• You'll fully embrace the brand's tone and manner, becoming a student of its nuances and evolving into an important brand voice.
• You'll utilize both custom-captured and existing assets to develop brand-relevant graphics, videos and other content focused on engaging social-first communities.
• You'll utilize trend insights to proactively pitch content ideas that drive our client's brand forward.
• You'll live our company values of connecting meaningfully and approaching positively; inspiring both clients and co-workers through excellent work, a positive attitude, and good communication.

What you'll need to be successful:

• Current credibility as a social copywriter and content creator with 3-5 years of background in demonstrated social media.
• Portfolio with successfully launched client projects and concepts across digital, social, and branded entertainment.
• The ability to bring original thinking and concepts to life in the social space or any space through engaging copy.
• Solid understanding of creative development-from working with Strategy to draft briefs to executing social and both long and short-form content-focused deliverables.
• Hands-on experience with content management systems, digital asset managers, and other content automation tools. Advantageous if experienced with consumer data platforms.
