Who We Are 

We Are Social is a global socially-led creative agency with unrivalled social media expertise. With 1,300 people in 19 offices spanning four continents, we deliver a global perspective to our clients in a time when social media is shaping culture.

We’re proud to be a multi-award-winning agency, with Cannes Lions, One Show, Webby and Shorty Awards, to name but a few. Our most recent work has seen us help Pepsi, Meta and Adidas deliver some of their biggest and most innovative campaigns to date, from breaking into the metaverse to smashing records on TikTok. 

As well as creating for clients, we help educate the wider industry. Our Instagram publication The Feed tracks culture at the speed of social. 6,500 people registered or tuned into our events last year, and our reports garnered more than 20 million views.

The Opportunity 

Are you a social-first creative with a knack for spotting what’s culturally relevant and turning it into original, scroll-stopping content that goes beyond trends?

Do you have big ideas for brand social that are bold, entertaining and designed to earn attention, comments, saves and shares, not just likes?

Keen to join a team of plugged-in creatives, shaping work that doesn’t just follow culture but helps drive it forward?

We’re looking for a social-first creative thinker to work across some of the agency’s most exciting accounts, with a focus on coming up with original, entertaining and culturally informed content ideas that slap.

Your ambition should be to go beyond the everyday content we see in our feeds, and make work that’s original, unexpected, striking and brand building beyond copying trends. 

You’ll be passionate, opinionated and evangelical about what’s hot and what’s not in brand social media, with a keen ability to combine creative community management and sharp commentary. You’ll respond to briefs for well-known brands with engaging, authentic social-first ideas that capture and hold attention, generating comments, saves and shares. 

Joining a team of highly connected social creatives, you’ll connect the dots between current social trends and the entertaining content brands can create to make a real cultural impact, rather than simply reflecting it. 

You’ll generate ideas for viral short form videos, social content using the latest platform features, repeatable content franchises, influencer led campaigns and creative community management.

Confident in creating some content like faceless video and memes, you’ll mostly collaborate with designers, videographers and editors to bring your vision to life. Supported by creative directors and social strategy experts, you’ll bring fresh trends from aesthetics to sounds to culture to the table.
