Social Creative/Content Creator Job at Fast Horse in Minneapolis

Wanted: Nimble creator and idea power plant.

Fast Horse, an award-winning, creative communications agency, is seeking a talented social creative who has a passion for content conceptualization and creation. You constantly have your pulse on the latest TikTok trends and social platforms, with a natural curiosity about what’s starting to trend and the ability to move at the speed of culture to seamlessly integrate it into best-in-class content opportunities for clients. 

You have a solution-oriented mindset that brings a can-do attitude to assignments, with non-stop idea generation or builds on current trends that further social conversations. You can work with content creation partners — from influencers to in-house client teams — to help direct and create deliverables, ensuring content clears the highest creative social bar with thumb-stopping creativity.

You are an activator. Your creativity is rooted in content creation, whether it’s still images, motion or video, you can create content tailored for clients’ different social channels. You have experience with both mobile and desktop editing software and a solid understanding of design that seamlessly feels native to a clients’ social channels and reflects a brand’s tone and voice. 

You take initiative and can anticipate needs, generating new and innovative approaches to problems. From blank-slate ideating to building off team ideas and spotting current trends you can quickly turn them into above-the-bar creative content. And, you can easily adapt and thrive with a creative brief that is more in tune with the ever-changing Internet and cultural trends than classic marketing case studies. You have a natural inclination to bring your non-stop curiosity to life, and it’s reflected through your social feed and/or portfolio. 

Egoless and collaborative, your approach meshes well with all types of disciplines and working dynamics. You feel comfortable building ideas from scratch and coaching others to clear the highest creative social bar.

Other experiences that are a plus:

• Recognition from award shows is great. Work that has generated massive cultural talk or social value, even better.
• A portfolio or background that demonstrates versatility across a number of industries; with an emphasis on social media.
• An appreciation for craft—be it PR, storytelling, copy, art or more. Or all of the above.
• Experience at a creative, media or PR agency/in-house agency. Or similar.  

Our proposition is built to unlock maximum value for our clients and potential in our people. No working in silos or fighting for a seat at the table. No competing interests or incentives. One office designed for integrated teams, not individual departments. Ideas come from everyone and they are optimized for earned, shared, owned and paid media from the outset. To that end, successful candidates must have the ability and desire to work closely with integrated team leads, strategy, social, influencer, and other disciplines to conceive campaigns and flawlessly bring them to life.

Beyond the client work, ideal candidates will:

• Contribute to a culture and environment that fosters professional and personal growth for all employees.

• Bring a can-do, problem-solving attitude to the table that welcomes challenges.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment with an ability to prioritize projects to meet aggressive deadlines.
