WHO WE ARE
Airthings is on a mission to make the invisible visible - because the air you breathe should be safe. From radon (a radioactive gas that’s literally gaslighting you) to particulate matter and mold, we create award-winning indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors to help people breathe healthier at home, work, and school.
We've sold over 1 million devices worldwide, won TIME Best Inventions, and have been featured everywhere from CES to Wired. Now, we need YOU to take our social presence up several levels - because air quality deserves its main character moment.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
🔥 Run the Internet (Well, Our Part of It)
- Own and execute multi-platform social media strategies (LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit… wherever IAQ can thrive).
- Be our trendspotter-in-chief - jump on viral moments, health trends, and weird internet discourse before they hit the mainstream.
- Lead our CSR campaigns with the kind of communication and empathy savvy that makes people smash that share button.
- Track what works, what flops, and why - and make smart, data-backed moves to optimize our strategy.
- Help us give air quality rizz?!
🎥 Make Stuff That Makes People Stop Scrolling
- Concept, script, shoot, and edit scroll-stopping content - from snappy TikToks to savage Reddit threads.
- Video-first mindset - comfortable filming, editing, and adding motion graphics where needed. Yes, we want your face in it, and maybe we’ll get you a smoke machine and laser beams? 👀✨). Let's get WEIRD with it.
- Collaborate with influencers, UGC creators, and partners to get Airthings into the social feeds of people who need to know us.
⚡ Be Quick, Be Bold, Be Unhinged (But Smart)
- Jump on the news cycle and viral trends to create reactive content that positions Airthings as an educational authority with personality.
- Engage with and create our community of air quality nerds - banter in the comments, start debates, and make people think (or laugh).
- Work closely with our teams to ensure brand consistency, while still pushing boundaries.
📈 Grow Our Brand Like It’s Your Own Personal Empire
- Build a community that cares about indoor air quality like they care about other health or self-care routines.
- Experiment with new platforms, formats, and engagement strategies - filters? TikTok duets? Yes, please.
- Track performance using analytics tools (Meta Business Suite, GA, Hootsuite, etc.) and turn insights into action.
