Location: Cheltenham or London, with the ability to work flexibly from office/home

Who & What are we?

We are a no nonsense content agency. We say 'no nonsense' because we believe that every business should be able to get amazing-looking, hard-working, well thought out content without having to pay the earth or jump through agency hoops. So, we're direct, agile, cost-effective but also smart and CREATIVE (yes, in caps). We want to tap into the latest technologies, stretch native platforms until they break and create stuff that just makes people go 'Wow'... because no nonsense doesn't have to mean dull, right?

With offices in London, Manchester and Cheltenham we're growing fast and love transforming our clients' communications.


Who and what will you be?

We are looking for someone who lives and breathes social media platforms and content creation to join a rapidly growing side of our business.

An experienced creative with social first thinking, who understands how impactful social is for audiences AND how to make channels work, hard. Someone to create and tap into cultural moments, not make ads.

This role is about helping our clients navigate the sometimes-alien world of social media and coming up with 'sticky' creative ideas that can connect them to new audiences. You'll need to know your TikTok from your Twitch as well as the native functionality of all the major platforms, and if you've got as track record of picking up a camera phone and getting the job done yourself... even better.

Essentially, this is a role for someone who gets culture and is confident in their opinion but still capable of pairing that to a brand vision to create something that delivers results... whether that's follows, click through, sign-up's or just turning heads.

You will be self-motivated, comfortable in front of clients, be able to understand always-on strategies and more importantly have the energy to cope with implementing them.
