Working across platforms including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, you’ll create primarily for organic social, with opportunities to develop and adapt creative for paid campaigns.</p> <p>You’ll bring proven content creation experience and the confidence to take ownership of assigned briefs from concept through to delivery. That means developing original ideas, recommending an approach, planning content capture and delivering work that meets the brief, brand and platform requirements.</p> <p>You’ll work closely with Creative, Strategy, Community, Account and Media colleagues, bringing your own perspective and judgement while drawing on specialist expertise. Senior creatives will provide direction and agreed check-ins, with the expectation that you can move your work forward independently, recognise when input is needed and raise challenges early.</p> <p>Regularly appearing on camera is an expected part of this role. Your image, voice and likeness will feature in content created for clients’ organic social channels. Content featuring you may also be considered for paid media, subject to appropriate usage terms, approvals and DEPT® policies.</p> <p>No two days will look the same. You might be leading a small content shoot, filming on location, creating something reactive from the office or collaborating on a larger production. Location shoots and travel are a genuine part of the role, so you’ll need to be comfortable working in different environments and travelling where required.</p> <p><strong>KEY RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Develop original social-first ideas: </strong>Interpret briefs and independently develop creative concepts that combine audience understanding, cultural relevance and each client’s brand objectives.
