Akcelo is an independent Brand Experience agency delivering powerful brand experiences that people love. We fuse creativity with experience design to solve business problems and generate white-space opportunities for the likes of McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Mondelez and TikTok. 

We are seeking a creative Social Content Lead who can tell a story in under 60 seconds to join our team on the most exciting social accounts in Australia. As a key member of the team, you will be responsible for ideating, developing and producing social-first content and analysing performance to suggest improvements.

As a creative expert, you’ll have the ability to articulate an idea simply, explain how and why it works with the audience, and ensure it’s platform-native. 

Our Social Content Lead will blend strategy & creativity to craft posts that engage and resonate with audiences across multiple social platforms, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, & TikTok. You will be on the forefront of internet culture, with a deep understanding of social trends, ready to push any content opportunities the moment something happens online.

You live and breathe social media and know about format changes, shifts in channel behaviours and trends before they hit the For You page. You can capture both high-quality and lo-fi original content that aligns with campaign objectives and brand voice.

• Engaging Insights - Real-time performance tracking of content, providing learnings and areas for improvement.


• Work collaboratively with creatives, strategists, social folk and clients to deliver best practise recommendations on format, length, and visual identity
