Job description

You know good social when you see it. You notice the reel everyone is suddenly recreating. You save an audio because you already know it could work for a brand. You pay attention to what people are watching, sharing, commenting on and talking about.

Maybe you’ve managed social media professionally. Maybe you’ve built content through an internship, student organization, personal project or small business. Either way, you genuinely enjoy social mediaand you want to get better at doing it for brands.

The Creative Agency is looking for a Social Media Coordinator to support the social presence of the brands we represent.

This is an entry-level, hands-on role for someone who is creative, organized, curious and excited to learn how great agency social media gets made. You’ll work alongside our strategists, designers, photographers, video producers and web team, helping turn bigger marketing ideas into social content people actually want to see. The right candidate needs good instincts, strong writing skills, attention to detail and the initiative to keep learning.

You’ll support the day-to-day management of client social media accounts across platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn.

  • Editing short-form video in CapCut or similar tools
  • Creating simple social graphics or layouts in Canva
  • Capturing behind-the-scenes content during agency or client shoots
  • Helping organize and repurpose professional photo and video assets for social

  One of the most important things you’ll learn in this role is how to create for different brands.

  Our clients should not all sound the same.

  You’ll work with the team to understand each client’s:
