We are a global socially-led creative agency, with unrivalled social media and influencer marketing expertise. With over 1,200 people in four continents, we deliver a global perspective to our clients in a time when social media is shaping culture.

We’re proud to be a multi award-winning agency, with Cannes Lions, One Show, Webby and Shorty Awards, to name but a few. Our most recent work has seen us help Amazon Music, Activision and Adidas deliver some of their biggest and most innovative campaigns to date.

As well as creating for clients, we help educate the wider industry. Our Instagram publication The Feed tracks culture at the speed of social. 6,500 people registered or tuned into our events last year, and our reports garnered more than 20 million views.

The Opportunity

Do you get as excited about online sports culture as you do while glued to a major sporting event?

Can you write to entertain in the feed, amuse in the comments – and do both to nail the right words at a finish line or full-time?

Do you want to write about sports on social for global brands, producing creative copy that sings in the moment?

We are looking for a Writer/Community Manager to join an expert team working across some of the world’s biggest brands. You’ll be part of a vibrant, collaborative environment, handling copywriting and the day-to-day community management for multiple brands – becoming a master of the comments sections, forging connections with audiences and identifying proactive opportunities to show up beyond owned channels.

You will know how to get communities talking. You live for the memes, have your finger on the pulse of sports culture – and truly care about the power of great copy.

Requirements

What You’ll Have Delivered Elsewhere

• Consistently brilliant social copy for distribution across social media channels that’s driven high engagement and positive sentiment.
• Experience reacting to sport on social, producing timely and appropriate responses to events.
• Day-to-day brand community management where you engaged with the audience, built brand loyalty and fostered positive interactions.
• Channel, content and publishing calendar management, ensuring consistent and timely delivery of content.
• Been a guardian of your clients’ tone of voice, ensuring the quality of copy and content remained high.
• Someone who lives and breathes sport and social media – who’s as comfortable chatting about Jude Bellingham as a TikTok sound that’s blowing up, and can readily apply that knowledge to create engaging content.
• Demonstrable experience of writing social copy flexibly and at speed, showcasing adaptability and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Someone with the ability to interpret brand TOV and the different audiences brands are trying to reach, and can tailor content accordingly to maintain brand consistency and engage diverse audiences.

What Else Are We Looking For?

• Publishing or journalist experience (within sports is preferable but not essential if you can demonstrate your love for sport), with a proven ability to deliver on time and with few to no errors.
• A flair for storytelling across multiple social platforms, capable of creating compelling narratives that resonate with different audiences and platforms.
• Good social platform knowledge and understanding of the ever-changing social content best practices on each, staying up-to-date with the latest trends and platform features to maximise engagement.
• The nous to identify story hooks and insights for creating social-first content that amplifies brand messaging and drives engagement.
• Experience of content creation is always useful – but not essential.
