Job Title: Creative Director - Social & Content

Overview:

We’re Maverick Content Studio—a social and content agency helping the world’s best brands connect with the next generation of fans.

You’ll lead a team of creators to deliver engaging, modern content that connects emotionally and builds trust. 

At Maverick, we’re not about big-brand TV ads no one cares about. We craft compelling, fast-moving short and long-form content designed for social—operating more like a media company than a traditional agency.
