- Ensure all content ideas and campaigns clearly ladder back to overall brand strategy, audience insights, and campaign objectives.
- Collaborate with social and influencer teams to translate concepts into compelling, platform-native content.
- Maintain consistency and quality across all content outputs, ensuring they align with brand voice, cultural relevance, and audience engagement goals.
- Provide strategic guidance on creative execution, balancing innovation with practical delivery constraints.
- Performance & Insights
- Work with data and analytics teams to extract insights from content performance, using them to refine strategy and creative approaches.
- Continuously monitor cultural moments, social behaviours, and creator trends to keep brand content ahead of the curve.
- Present strategic recommendations, creative ideas, and post-campaign learnings to clients and internal teams.
- Collaboration & Integration

- Collaborate with media and platform partners to leverage new features, betas, and opportunities.
- Contribute to new business and pitch development with strategic and creative thinking.

- Strong understanding of social platforms, creator ecosystems, and content formats.
- Proven experience developing social-first creative strategies and storytelling frameworks.
- Excellent writing and communication skills with an eye for visual storytelling.
