SOCIAL CONTENT CREATOR Job at The Fitting Room in August

Hype, Demand, and Legacy Ⓡ is what we create. We’re an agency driven by having a deep understanding of sub-cultures that go on to shape behaviours.

We believe culture comes first and it’s at the heart of everything we do. An agency built to launch, position, and transform businesses in a fast-paced, demanding, and people-powered world.

We work on the belief of valuegraphics, over stereotypical demographics. Truly delving into the wants of humans influenced by culture, data, and insights.

Our network spans across the globe from tastemakers, brands, creators, celebrities, and the people you just need to know to make what seems like an unachievable ambition happen.

London OR Manchester [Hybrid]

ROLE

We are looking for a Social Content Creator to join the team! We’re looking for someone who loves social media, making TikTok’s, reels and is probably a little bit obsessed with memes. We’re in the business of pop culture so a love for how moments become moments is key. We’re looking for a person who walks into the office and knows all the breaking news that’s happened overnight and has ideas for how we can then build them into fun and engaging content for clients. This person will be nimble, energetic and ready to run out the office armed with their camera phone to shoot content.

You’ll report into our Social Lead and work closely with the wider Social and Content team to deliver culturally relevant content and storytelling for our clients. This role requires someone creative (but still organised), a lover of storytelling and living in the moment! We aren’t looking for years of experience, but instead a deep love of social and desire to create really cool content.

You will work across a range of clients from lifestyle, to hospitality, to celebrity, to entertainment. You will be on top of trends, an avid social listener, live for experiences and have a natural get sh*t done attitude.

You’ll be highly respectful of all communities and culture.

We work with global and household names and we’re incredibly proud of the work we do and the people we work with. Some of our clients include: Be At One, Pernod Ricard, Instagram and Popeyes.

OUR CULTURE

We are very much in the business of people at The Fitting Room, we have an exciting People Agenda for the next five years, focused on talent and working in partnership with our team.

We’re not here for big BS statements on the website, we just move with respect for our team and what they might need. For example, when the true extent of the cost of living was revealed, we immediately gave everyone a 5% pay rise.

We have an internal summer initiative called ‘Don’t Forget to Live’ and a winter initiative, ‘Don’t Forget to Learn’, both are built for team and to enhance their lives beyond their careers.

‘Don’t Forget to Live’ has included a trip to Coachella, a summer party in Ibiza and 4 day working week in July and August.

‘Don’t Forget to Learn’ includes the team learning new things chosen by them, from fire breathing, to acrylic nails, to DJ school, to ballet lessons and half days in Q4 to get out to explore culture.

We are our people.
