OK COOL is a creative agency based in London and The US. We are looking to hire a Freelance Creative Strategist Social Media to join our new team in the US and to manage a number of our most prestigious client accounts.

That line about ‘getting a seat on the rocketship’.

This is it.

Covid saw brand budgets shift to social and we were ready to pick them up. We’re on a massive growth trajectory, working with global clients and leaning-in to our unique position as creative and strategic consultants to both brands and to the social media platforms themselves. OK COOL is privileged to work directly with Instagram and TikTok on their most crucial projects and feature roll-outs.
Now we are looking for uncommonly good people to help us not fuck this up. Specifically, an individual powerhouse who is:

● Help us win and deliver exciting new briefs from world class clients
● Analysing opportunities to evolve OK COOL into an innovation company.

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate the ability of getting under the skin of a brand, fast; understand that brand’s universe, their customers and their place in culture, then use that information to develop social media strategies.

You will bring the experience and instincts forged in your career, and use these to shape the agency of the future, helping the studio build stronger strategic relationships further upstream with senior clients.
