SOCIAL CONTENT CREATOR
Who You Are
You're a creator who instinctively thinks social before all other channels. You spend more time than you'd like to admit on social, and are on the forefront of all the latest trends. You're obsessed with creating content that people love to like, share, and engage with. You're an obsessive meme maker and unabashed TikTokker. You know how to take your knowledge of social to help give brands a voice and make an impact on social through the content you create.
You understand the power of the phone in your pocket and know how to use it to create social content any brand would be proud to post. You use it to create and edit engaging short form videos, concept social posts, and write Tweets, and post copy. You know the big social platforms inside out and are always pushing for ideas that shake up and reinvent what can be done on them.
You are self-motivated, organized, passionate, strategic, and flexible. You have the ability to communicate trends and defend your work to fellow team members, including those less familiar with current social trends. You're willing to jump in where you can to create amazing work - from photography to design to prop styling and animation.
