About Think Jam
We are a leading entertainment creative agency serving the world’s top fandoms and franchises on the frontlines of social. We work in partnership with studios, executives and IP holders to give these fandoms a voice on social, and turn marketing channels into vibrant homes for entertainment, with highly engaged communities. We are a globally remote, highly ambitious team, who bring their passion to work every day.
Position Overview:
We are seeking a talented and driven Social Creative to join our team. The ideal candidate is a creative thinker who understands the social landscape, a hands-on content creator, and a strategic planner who understands fandoms and knows how to engage and grow the audience.
You’ll be working on first-class franchises with a team of the best strategists and creatives in the fandoms and franchise space. You’ll be given clear objectives and exciting creative challenges to solve through engaging and conversational social content, in particular short-form vertical video. You will not be asked to be on-camera (audience facing), as the content will be driven by the franchise’s key characters.
It’s important that you’re highly proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Premiere, and comfortable working with client-provided footage, turning around polished, platform-ready edits quickly. After Effects and light mograph skills are a strong plus, though not required. Experience working in an agency or fast-paced creative environment is ideal, but most importantly, we’re looking for someone who understands how to deliver high-impact social work at the speed of culture.
While this role is fully remote within the U.S. and requires no in-person attendance, being based in or near Los Angeles is helpful for occasional collaboration.
Responsibilities:
- Generate imaginative social ideas from quick-hitting trends to larger creative concepts that keep the franchise’s presence lively, relevant, and impossible to scroll past
- Turn those strategies into content pieces, created with native social tools, and phone apps that allow for the creation of 5-10 pieces a week
- Stay current on platform trends and emerging creators to ensure our channel is up to speed
- Write engaging copy and captions that conforms with platform best practices and aligns with the tone of voice of the franchise
- Plan weekly content calendars and schedule content for publishing in collaboration with a colleague
- Ensure content adheres to brand guidelines and maintains a consistent tone across platforms
- Foster a sense of community among the franchise's audience through active engagement and conversation
- Monitor online conversations and trends related to the franchise, adjusting strategies accordingly
Experience:
- Proven experience as a Social Media Manager or similar role, preferably within the entertainment or children's content industry, or equivalent experience running or creating content for a growing social channel
- Strong understanding of social media platforms, trends, and best practices
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
- Exceptional content creation and conversational social experience, with links and examples to show
- Video editing experience a plus, but not required as it’s most vital you can create in-platform
- Creative mindset with the ability to think outside the box and generate innovative ideas that lead to virality
- Passion for entertainment and film franchises, in particular globally popular iconic characters
