The Role.
We’re on the hunt for a Midweight Creative (FTC) to add to our team. Not only will you be working across some of the world’s best-loved brands, but you’ll be joining a lovely bunch of talented (their words, not ours) people, helping to create industry-leading social (and beyond) content.
In a nutshell, we’re looking for someone who is a platform native and knows how to create content; someone who is on top of the latest platform updates, what’s trending on TikTok and knows how to tap into it; someone who knows how to work with creators and can identify a big idea vs a tactical one and knows how to make it fly.
Your responsibilities.
- You’ll work collaboratively in a fast-paced, constantly-evolving creative environment
- Responsible for creating brilliant assets and generating ideas that wow the client
- Prioritise your workload effectively, meet tight deadlines and adapt where necessary across multiple projects and timelines
- From conception right through to implementation, you'll generate brilliant ideas that can stretch across multiple channels from Editorial to Campaigns – and beyond Social if required
- Able to conceive ideas and create the content that lives on our client’s social feeds, with a strong grasp of developing TikTok content
- Show off your brilliant culture, trends and social knowledge and use it to make ideas that land with audiences

- Strong command of language, able to express ideas simply, with wit and clarity

Industry knowledge, expertise, and thirst for innovation:

You could say we add value, not noise.
