Job description

Who we are

We’re GoSpooky: a global social agency built for the speed of culture.

We create social-first work for brands that want to stay relevant, from TikToks that land on the For You Page to creator campaigns, community strategies, TikTok Shop, social affiliates and live shopping. If it shapes internet culture, we are probably already on it.

Our teams combine strategy, creativity, community, commerce, gaming and data to turn cultural moments into brand impact. As official partners of Instagram and Snapchat, and partners and social affiliates of TikTok Shop, we work with brands such as KLM, Samsung, JBL, HEMA, Prime Video NL, AXE, Etos, Vodafone, Zeeman and Picnic.

We’re driven by bold ambition, endless creativity and authentic people. People who challenge the obvious, move with culture and create work that feels real, relevant and impossible to ignore.

We’re always looking for people who understand the internet, bring fresh perspectives and are excited to shape what social can become next. If you’re ready to move fast, think big and make an impact, you’ll fit right in.

Who we are

We’re GoSpooky: the ones who get all things social. A global agency made for the social era. We grow brands through content, community and commerce, keeping them at the forefront of culture. Social isn’t just first, it’s the foundation.

From creatives and commerce specialists to game designers and data analysts, we cover the full social spectrum. If it shapes internet culture, we’re on it, making fast, bold and relevant work that actually gets shared.

From TikToks that breaks the “for you” page, to creator stories built with real community insights, all the way to TikTok Shop, social affiliates and live social shopping that convert in real time.
