Social Creative Lead
£70,000 - £80,000
Central London

The Agency
Our client is a shiny new and fast-growing creative studio built for modern brand communications. Working across integrated campaigns, social-first content, experiences, film and brand platforms, they've quickly established themselves as a trusted partner to globally recognised brands in health, technology and media.

This is a hands-on role for a senior social creative who enjoys being in the work, from concept creation and storytelling through to presentations, creative reviews and client discussions.
