Social Content Creative — Denver, CO

SUMMARY

UHq76q is building a social-first creative capability, and we’re hiring a versatile, culturally connected Social Content Creative who can both think and make. In this role, you’ll be responsible for working from a social creative brief to develop platform-native concepts and bring those ideas to life – sometimes independently, and sometimes as part of a team. You will develop and produce original content for paid and organic social across multiple client brands, working alongside our strategy, creative, and media teams. As the capability grows, this role will help shape how UHq76q approaches social for our clients. This is not a traditional copywriter, art director, or social media manager role. We are looking for a creative thinker and hands-on maker who can take an idea from concept to finished content.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Fluency in social platforms, trends, creator culture, and how audiences engage with content, along with a strong creative point of view, with the ability to generate ideas beyond existing trends and popular formats.

• Strong creative-engagement and storytelling instincts with an understanding of what makes content resonate on different platforms.

• Ability to make work that feels native to each social platform, as well as an understanding of how creative approaches differ across paid and organic social.

• Versatility in creative tone and voice in order to create ideas and make creative decisions that are tonally and stylistically appropriate to a variety of brands and audiences so that the content created feels authentic to the brand rather than an expression of personal style.

• Strong short-form video production and editing skills, with working knowledge of other social content formats.

• Familiarity with influencer and creator-led content.

• Skills in photography, motion graphics, graphic design, and AI-assisted content creation.

• Comfort working autonomously as well as in collaboration with agency teams, demonstrating the ability to respond to creative direction and feedback.

• Resourceful ability to produce quality work efficiently without relying on large production teams.

• Experience creating social content for multiple brands.

• Experience translating integrated advertising campaigns into social-first executions.

• Experience developing creative variations based on performance insights and testing.

• Experience working with brands in regulated categories, licensed properties, or brands with detailed compliance requirements is preferred.

• Navigate brand guidelines, legal requirements, and client approval processes while maintaining creative integrity.

• Use creative technology, including AI-assisted tools, to explore ideas, streamline production, and improve efficiency and capabilities where it helps the work.

WHAT THIS ROLE ISN’T

We are not looking for a traditional social media manager focused on publishing, community management, or content calendars. We are also not looking for someone who exclusively shoots and edits against ideas developed by others. This role combines original creative thinking with hands-on execution, along with the autonomy to take a social creative brief and turn it into compelling content. While a traditional advertising or agency experience is not required, strong candidates will have a portfolio of work that demonstrates their ability to develop relevant, brand-specific creative ideas and produce them as engaging executions across various social platforms.

SALARY RANGE
