Job description

Happy Yolk | Full-time | £45,000-£55,000, depending on experience | Hybrid, London

Happy Yolk is a female-founded, social-first creative agency making ideas people want to stop for, share and talk about.

We started with an egg - quite literally. Our founder helped create the World Record Egg, a tiny idea that sparked a very big conversation. That experience taught us a lot about what makes people pay attention, and it still shapes how we think about social today.

Now we bring that curiosity to ambitious brands. We’re based in Shoreditch and work in a hybrid way, with time together in the office and the flexibility to work from home. We’re a close-knit, growing team: serious about the work, generous with ideas and very happy to have a laugh along the way.

Social Creative

Ideas are at the heart of this job. We’re looking for someone who can come up with brilliant social ideas and take them all the way from the first spark to something people can actually watch, share and remember.

That means more than spotting a trend. You’ll find the interesting angle, shape it into a clear and exciting idea, and bring the client along with you. You’ll need to be able to explain why the idea works, present it with confidence and get people excited to make it. Then you’ll help bring it to life with the team - making sure the final content has the same spark as the original idea.

You’ll work across a mix of lovely, ambitious brands. One day you might be pitching a new TikTok series; the next, developing a campaign, writing a script or helping shape a shoot. There’s lots of variety, and plenty of room to put your own ideas on the table.

What you’ll do

• Come up with original, memorable social ideas, series and campaigns for Instagram, TikTok and other platforms.
• Turn briefs, audience insights and cultural moments into concepts with a clear hook and a reason for people to care.
• Shape ideas into treatments and presentations that bring the client along and make them want to say yes.
• Write strong hooks, scripts and captions that feel right for each brand.
• Help plan shoots, thinking through the format, talent, props, locations and content needed to make the idea work.
• Work closely with producers, designers, editors and account teams to bring ideas to life.
• Present your thinking, answer questions and build confidence in the idea.
• Review the content as it comes together and give clear, useful creative feedback.
• Look at how content performs and use what you learn to make the next idea even stronger.
• Keep a close eye on social and internet culture, with the judgement to know which trends are worth acting on - which aren’t.

You might be right for this if you…

• Have a head full of ideas and the drive to turn the best ones into real work.
• Understand what makes people stop scrolling, watch to the end, comment, share or send something to a friend.
• Can spot an interesting angle and make it clear, compelling and easy for others to get behind.
• Enjoy presenting your ideas and can make a client feel excited about what’s possible.
• Write in a natural, distinctive way and can adapt your voice for different brands.
• Are curious about people, creators, culture and the conversations happening online.
• Enjoy working with others and can take an idea through feedback without losing what made it exciting.
• Are organised, proactive and happy to get stuck into the details that make good work happen.
• Have examples of your creative thinking to share. That could be agency work, in-house work, freelance projects or things you’ve made yourself.

You don’t need to have followed one particular career path. We’re interested in what you notice, what you make and how you think.

What we offer

• The chance to make social work for a varied mix of brands.
• A friendly, ambitious team where people share ideas, muck in and celebrate good work.
• Hybrid working, with a Shoreditch base and time to work from home.
• Space to take ownership, learn and grow as a creative.
• Plenty of variety, room to try things and the chance to see your ideas come to life.
