Job description

THE ROLE

We Are Social is looking for a culture-hungry copywriter who wants to make work that people will love. To do the job well, you’ll need a good sense of social media craft and a desire to get your hands dirty. We are seeking someone who lives in the space between pop culture/sports/entertainment/fashion/music/travel.

WE ARE

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

• Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more!
