Budapest

DEPT® is a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster.

JOB PURPOSE

We’re looking for a Mid/Senior Creative with a strong passion for social, culture and ideas.

You’ll work across a range of consumer brands, developing organic social ideas, concepts and content that connect brands with communities and culture. You’ll be comfortable taking an idea from the initial brief through concepting and storyboarding to presentation and production.

• Adapt creative ideas to different platforms, audiences and brand voices
• Use performance data and learnings to continuously improve social content
• Work within brand tone of voice and relevant brand, legal and approval guidelines
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Experience in a social-first creative role, either in an agency or in-house
• Strong portfolio demonstrating social-first concepts and creative thinking
• Experience with concepting, copywriting and content production
• Strong understanding of platforms such as TikTok and Instagram and how content performs on them
• A genuine interest in internet culture, social trends and the way people communicate online
• Ability to turn trends, cultural insights and audience behaviour into creative ideas
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills
• Confidence presenting and explaining creative ideas
• Experience working collaboratively with designers, editors and other creative disciplines
• Ability to work quickly and comfortably in a fast-paced environment
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects
• A proactive, curious mindset and a genuine love of learning
• Ability to take ownership of your work while working closely with a wider international team

WE OFFER

• Private health insurance and access to a range of healthcare and preventive services.
• Sports & cultural benefits to support your wellbeing and work-life balance.
• Dog-friendly office
• Hybrid working policy
• A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021.
• Awesome clients. Whether big, small, local or global — at DEPT® you’ll get the opportunity to work with all of them. And we celebrate all of our successes together!
• The opportunity for possibility. We want to enable you to do what you do best and help you develop your skills further with training, development and certifications.
• Global annual DEPT® Cares Month in which employees come together and donate their skills to support local charities.

WHO ARE WE?

We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA.

We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.

At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

At DEPT®, we take pride in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive. We actively seek to recruit, develop, nurture, and retain talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, with varying skills and perspectives.

Not sure you meet all qualifications? Research shows that women and members of underrepresented groups tend not to apply for jobs when they think they may not meet every requirement, when in fact they do.

We also encourage you to reach out to us and discuss any reasonable adjustments we can make to support you throughout the recruitment process and your time with us.
