Company description

We are Saatchi & Saatchi - a full service, integrated communications network, with 114 offices in 67 countries, with our headquarters in London. Saatchi & Saatchi is part of the Publicis Groupe, the world's third-largest communications group.

Saatchi & Saatchi launched in 1970, with the philosophy that "Nothing is Impossible" - a statement that crowns the top of our London building and is fundamental to our spirit. We approach things with the audacity of chutzpah. Chutzpah defines our culture at Saatchi & Saatchi. It's the quality of audacity. Because if you are going to attempt impossible things you have to have the audacity to believe you can achieve them.

It helped us build an agency we are really proud of and does things differently - which means an industry leading diversity approach, that includes Saatchi Ignite - our curriculum-based schools programme, Saatchi Open - our entry level programme, Saatchi Home - our affordable accommodation initiative, Saatchi Women - our programme for progressing talent, and Saatchi Family - our programme for parents and carers.

We are still looking for great clients. Still trying to rock the world. Still believing. Still being impossible. Still having ideas that make our clients famous. Still searching for people who want to set the world alight. Still knowing there isn't a problem a great idea can't solve.

If Nothing is Impossible is our spirit, then Chutzpah is what runs through our veins. But there is still one missing ingredient in creating the impossible and that's YOU.

Our Commitment

Diversity and inclusion are a core part of our DNA at Publicis UK. We're committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates, and supports our wonderfully diverse employee group irrelevant of their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability or ethnicity. Diversity and inclusion fuel our creativity and innovation, it enables us to be closer to our people and audiences. We will continue to strive to create a culture and environment where everyone feels empowered and more importantly comfortable enough to bring their full, authentic selves to work.

Overview

We're on the hunt for an energetic, proactive, and deeply social-obsessed Content Creator who lives and breathes culture, trends, and platform-native storytelling. You don't just use TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts and Meta - you understand why content works and how to make it stop the scroll. From fast-turnaround, phone-shot reactive content to polished, premium social films, you can ideate, shoot, direct and edit end-to-end. You're comfortable doing it all, bringing creativity, curiosity, and innovation to every brief - and you know how to clearly communicate what makes great content great.

Responsibilities

• Create high-performing, social-native content across platforms, spotting trends, formats and cultural moments that drive engagement
• Ideate independently or collaboratively with creatives, strategists and producers
• Shoot, direct and edit content using both phone and premium camera workflows depending on the idea
• Develop concepts grounded in platform behaviour and visual language, tailored to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and emerging channels
• Lead agile productions - from self-shot creator setups to mid-scale influencer-style shoots
• Collaborate with influencer talent and enhance supplied content in post-production when needed
• Edit at speed, delivering platform-specific cutdowns, versions and optimised assets
• Stay ahead of emerging trends, tools and formats - especially GenAI and creator tech - and proactively bring ideas to the team
• Keep clear feedback loops with producers and internal teams to ensure smooth delivery and quality control

Qualifications

• Experience creating social-first content for brands, agencies, production companies or your own channel
• A strong, demonstrable portfolio showcasing native social storytelling and high-engagement work
• Excellent phone-shot skills plus confidence with premium camera workflows (e.g. Sony FX3, Canon R5)
• Solid knowledge of basic lighting and sound setups
• Highly proficient in editing (Premiere, CapCut or similar), with sharp instincts for pacing, text, transitions and sound
• Strong understanding of social performance metrics and best-practice optimisation
• Ability to juggle multiple projects and turn around content quickly without losing attention to detail
• Experience developing creative ideas, decks or storyboards (Google Suite preferred)
• A collaborative, positive mindset and willingness to flex across production roles
