WHO WE ARE
We are Born Social, a social-first creative agency that brings brand building into the social era. We have a track record of delivering transformation for iconic brands like Guinness, Ford, and Barclays, led by our team of social natives and brand experts, underpinned by technology.

Backed by the strength of a brilliant business that's proudly B-Corp certified, we're consistently recognised as one of the best places to work.

We're powered by Croud, a leading performance marketing agency. As agencies, we work closely to help brands bring creative and performance together. As a result you’ll benefit from being part of the Croud Group, office and team.

We're looking for a Creative who'll work closely with the Strategy team to understand our clients' brief, challenges, and opportunities, and use these to build creative concepts that achieve measurable results.  And then bring your ideas to life in collaboration with our Design & Production teams - briefing in and overseeing the production.

Part of the beauty of Born is that we don’t specialise in any particular sector, meaning any given brief presents completely new challenges and opportunities.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Translating strategy into effective social-first creative ideas for pitch, project, always on and campaign work
• Building out social-first creative guidelines that span visual identity, art direction and tone of voice.
• Pitching and presenting, at both the new business stage and project delivery.
• Leading internal and external ideation workshops
• Building briefs and overseeing the creative production process to make sure all work aligns with your creative vision.
• Managing your allocated time efficiently and effectively to meet your client's scopes of work
• Producing thought leadership and internal education that continually helps to define and establish social best practice
• Supporting the writing of case studies and awards entries, proving creativity and effectiveness of our work
• Keeping in tune with new behaviours, platforms and tools that are changing the landscape

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This role is perfect for anyone who's been in a social conceptual creative role, in-house or agency side, for the last few years. This could be a creative, creative lead, senior creative, art director, or copywriter. Creatives are hybrids and pull on a variety of different creative skills, so you will need to have a body of work that shows this off. Specifically, we'll be on the lookout for someone with:

• You've got 4 or more years agency experience in a conceptual Creative or Creative Strategy role
• You have a deep understanding of social media and how it can be harnessed for a variety of brands and businesses
• You've got a solid understanding of various creative strategy and ideation frameworks.
• You have a proven track record of overseeing the creative production process
• You've got strong deck writing, formatting and presentation skills

VALUES

Our values aim to pinpoint the magic ingredients for us at our best. We look for people who share our values and can add to our culture. 

⚡️ See Challenge as Opportunity... is about our attitude and to be very clear, this is not a value of optimism, nor is it about loving every challenge.

⚡️ Say It Simply... is how we communicate. Think of the basic rules of communication - honest, clear, confident.

⚡️ Do What You Say... is the crux of our reputation and longevity. When you join Born Social, our trust is fully given. It is yours to lose. 

⚡️ Make Each Other Better... is about our culture of collaboration and commitment to development. We are only as good as the people around us so we all take responsibility for developing each other, as well as ourselves.

⚡️ Consciously Contribute...is bigger than all the others.  It ensures we grow right. It broadens our focus beyond Born Social and cements our commitment to doing what’s just, not what’s easy or immediately self-serving.
