The posting

THE ROLE

We Are Social is looking for a culture-hungry, social-first Associate Creative Director - Art Director to join our team. The ideal person for this role is an internet-obsessed leader with organic social experience who’s just as comfortable guiding art directors and writers as they are collaborating with account managers and project managers. You stay on top of trends, platform updates, emerging behaviors, and can rattle off social formats with ease. Most importantly, you care about making work that works.

WE ARE

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

  • Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 16 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more
  • We know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it’s how we learn)
  • From carbon offsets to community service days, we’re passionate about making a difference
  • Our Slack gif game is strong

YOU ARE

  • A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
  • Not interested in just trend chasing, you want to create them and put your own spin on them
  • A self-starter who will take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback and team morale every step of the way

What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with social audiences. This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you’ll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and best practices and cultural moments. In return, you’ll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world’s leading brands.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Lead day-to-day creative output, partnering with copywriters and art directors to concept and create everything from high-level campaigns and episodic social series to reactive posts and creator/influencer briefs
  • Delegate tasks effectively, providing constructive feedback and fostering an environment of growth and creative bravery
  • Own, evolve, and protect the social voice, ensuring consistency, wit, and cultural relevance across every post, script, and caption
  • Get your hands dirty. You'll be writing and ideating just as much as you'll be leading. If you're looking for a role that's all meetings and management, this probably isn't it and we think that's a good thing.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, confidently defending creative directions and translating high-level business needs into actionable tasks for the creative team
  • Seamlessly manage the transition from abstract concept to final craft, ensuring the integrity of the creative vision is maintained across multiple high priority workstreams
  • Spot opportunities to proactively pitch new formats and buzzy ideas to clients
  • Manage and mentor junior team members by leading, inspiring and developing a team of innovative creative thinkers
  • Maintain positive vibes with your team and clients

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience working in a creative leadership role within an agency or internal brand team
  • You have a proven track record of creating breakthrough social media content
  • You understand how to be authentically native on social platforms via short-form video, motion graphics, trending sounds, etc.
  • You are a strong communicator who treats co-workers and clients with empathy and respect
  • Ability to oversee both visual and narrative components of large-scale campaigns
  • Experience crafting creative strategies that are grounded in market data and client KPIs
  • Hybrid creative skills (e.g. A sharp wit and a good eye. You can art direct and write. You’re comfortable making and directing.)
  • On-set production and post-production experience
  • Willingness to get your hands dirty and lead by example with experience guiding teams and leading creative projects

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
