Job description

Simply Social is a growing social-first creative agency, bringing together strategy, creativity and production to help brands connect with people through content they want to watch.

We’re looking for a Social Creative to join our Dublin team and develop fresh, entertaining ideas for ambitious brands. You’ll work across campaigns, always‑on content and creator partnerships, collaborating with our strategy, client services and production teams.

The Role

You’ll turn briefs into ideas that feel natural on social, from funny scripts and repeatable formats to reactive content and bigger campaign concepts.

You’ll be involved from the first idea through to the finished content: researching, writing, building presentations and working with the team to bring your thinking to life. We’re looking for someone who understands internet culture, enjoys collaborating and cares about making work people choose to watch and share.

What You’ll Do

• Develop social-first concepts across TikTok, Instagram and other relevant platforms.
• Shoot and edit phone lead content using capcut and or Adobe suite.
• Write scripts, captions and treatments that capture each brand’s voice.
• Find trends, cultural moments and audience insights that can inspire relevant ideas.
• Create repeatable content formats that give brands a distinctive presence.
• Create reactive content based on social trends.
• Work with strategy to ensure ideas answer the brief and support client objectives.
• Collaborate with content creators, designers, copywriters and production teams to bring concepts to life.
• Contribute to shoots, helping shape performances, humour and storytelling.
• Build creative presentations and share your ideas clearly with colleagues and clients.
• Respond to feedback thoughtfully and develop ideas through to final execution.
• Learn from content performance and apply those insights to future work.
• Manage your deadlines and keep the team informed as projects progress.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in a social first creative role within an agency or brand.
• A portfolio showing strong ideas and your contribution to the work.
• Strong writing skills, particularly for short-form video and social content.
• A good understanding of TikTok, Instagram, creators and internet culture.
• An instinct for humour, storytelling and what makes people stop scrolling.
• The ability to adapt your thinking and writing to different brands.
• A collaborative approach, openness to feedback and confidence sharing ideas.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to work across several briefs.

Experience with food, drink, FMCG or lifestyle brands would be a bonus. Personal creative projects and your own social content are also welcome in your portfolio.

Why Simply Social?

You’ll join an ambitious agency with established brands, an in‑house studio and opportunities to see your ideas get made. You’ll work alongside experienced creatives, strategists and production specialists, with room to develop your craft and take on greater responsibility.

Our hybrid setup includes three days together in our Dublin office each week, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.
