Job description

OnSocial is a performance-driven paid media and creative agency helping ambitious brands turn attention into revenue.

We combine performance-led creative with intelligent media buying across Meta, TikTok, Google, Snapchat and many more... Every campaign is built to convert. Every decision is backed by data. Every creative idea is shaped by performance.

We work with brands including Ibiza Rocks, Pikes, Tommy Fury, Laurastar and UNTOLD Festival Dubai, alongside a growing roster of international clients across fashion, music, hospitality and consumer products.
