Job description

We're Hiring : Social Creative | Content Creator

Apparent is growing its social and content offering, and we’re looking for a creative who can think it, shoot it and make it happen.

You’ll create content for some of the world’s biggest brands, knowing what stops the scroll, sparks interest and gets shared. From social-first ideas and formats to shooting, editing and final content, you’ll bring a strong creative eye and the brand along for the ride.

Make an undeniable impact with Apparent

We’re an independent agency of 200+ thinkers, creators and solution-makers. We exist for one reason: to give our clients a competitive edge. It’s why we’re trusted by global giants like Google, Optus, Vanuatu Tourism and Volkswagen, alongside iconic local brands and startups.

That edge comes from the standard we set for ourselves – the craft in every detail and the thought we put into every room we enter. We don’t settle for “good enough” because we care enough to make it great. If you’re looking for a place where your craft is respected and the ego is left at the door, you’ve found it.

It’s an exciting time to join us at our brand-new, dog-friendly HQ in Eveleigh. We believe in high standards, but never at the expense of your life outside the office. It’s a culture our team actually advocates for; 99% of our people recommend Apparent as a great place to work.

What you can look forward to:

• Extra leave: Enjoy paid Summer Days for you and Reproductive Health Leave.
• Growth and mentorship: Access to training, development, coaching and industry events.
• Progressive support: Gender-neutral paid parental leave and a commitment to genuine pay equity.
• Community impact: Opportunities to get involved in pro-bono programs and volunteer work.
• Wellbeing programs: Physical and mental health initiatives, including an EAP and RUOK? Day activities.

We’re also leaning into what’s next by actively embracing AI across our roles, using it to enhance our expertise and keep both our agency and our clients at the forefront of the industry.

We have an entrepreneurial spirit and we know the best work doesn’t always fit into neat, tidy boxes. Neither should you. If you’re a pro at your craft (or looking for a mentor who is) and a genuine collaborator ready to deliver something undeniable, let’s talk.

The role

You’ll join a growing social team within an established creative agency, creating content that gets noticed. You’ll take some projects from big idea through to final edit, while on others you’ll collaborate with our wider creative team from designers, motion specialists and producers.

We need you to think creatively and make things happen. You might be shooting content one day, editing the next, developing a social-first concept or working with a creator to bring an idea to life.

You’ll take complex products or ideas and turn them into clear, engaging content people actually want to watch. Photography, simple motion graphics and an instinct for what works across social media are all valuable. And if you’re curious about how AI can help you prototype, experiment and push creative ideas further, even better.

What you’ll do

Develop ideas for social

• Turn audience insights, brand objectives and cultural observations into social concepts.
• Develop repeatable formats for ongoing content, alongside ideas for campaigns and reactive opportunities.
• Bring references and rough prototypes that help people understand and build on your thinking.

Shoot and make

• With access to a content studio, you will plan and capture content using a phone or camera setup appropriate to the brief.
• Prepare shot lists and make thoughtful choices about framing, lighting, sound and performance.
• Work independently on small shoots and collaborate with Production when more support is needed.

Edit and adapt

• Edit short-form video with strong pacing, clear storytelling and attention to sound.
• Adapt campaign assets thoughtfully for social, considering the opening, structure and viewing context.

Learn and collaborate

• Stay curious about online communities, emerging formats and changes in how people use social platforms.
• Use audience responses and performance findings to improve the next piece of content.
• Work with the social client lead to plan deliverables and flag production needs.

What you’ll bring

• Minimum 2-4 years experience within a creative agency or content studio as an Art Director or content creator
• A portfolio showing original social ideas and work you have personally built is essential.
• Confidence taking a brief from concept to content and engaging presentation skills
• Strong visual storytelling, editing and short-form writing skills.
• An understanding of how content needs to change across platforms, audiences and brand contexts.
• Experience working with brand guidelines, feedback and approval processes.
• Good organisation and realistic judgement about what you can deliver within the available time.
