- Supporting the creation of monthly social media content calendars
- Researching trends, cultural moments and creative opportunities
- Developing social-first content ideas, hooks and scripts
- Writing engaging captions in different brand voices
- Creating graphics, carousels and Stories
- Learning and developing your content creation skills across different formats
- Filming short-form content on an iPhone

- Supporting the wider team with content creation and other agency tasks as needed
Who we’re looking for
You’ll be:
- Creative, enthusiastic and full of content ideas
- Reliable, responsive and comfortable working to deadlines
- Proactive - you look for what needs doing rather than always waiting for instructions
- Organised and able to manage several priorities
- Confident using Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn
- Comfortable filming and editing short-form video, or keen to learn
- Interested in developing your content creation skills
- Able to write clearly and adapt your tone for different brands
- Happy working both independently and collaboratively

- Available to attend and support shoots, sometimes at short notice
- Able to travel to client locations, particularly across London and the South East
A driving licence and access to a car would be highly desirable.
Experience
This is a junior role, so we’re not expecting years of agency experience. However, you should be able to demonstrate your understanding of social-first content through personal projects, freelance work, internships, employment or a strong portfolio.
Experience with CapCut, Canva, Meta Business Suite, TikTok, LinkedIn and project-management tools would be beneficial. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone with a genuine interest in social media and content creation who is eager to learn, get involved and develop their skills.
