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. 

We’re looking for a Creative Director to help us build something special. This isn’t just another agency CD role. We need a modern social and digital-first storyteller to create content that makes people stop scrolling and start engaging with a focus on short and long-form video. You’ll lead a team of creators and makers who come up with great ideas, and are passionate about social and digital storytelling. 

At Maverick, we’re not about big-brand TV ads that 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. 

We’re building the agency we all want to work at: a place that’s hungry, humble, and radical. We want leaders who don’t just want a job but want to create something meaningful. If this sounds like you—or someone you know - let’s go.
