About McCann Content Studios
McCann Content Studios is a global hub for social and influencer capabilities. The division combines creative services, audience development, creator partnerships, and performance measurement under one single entity and boasts a suite of unrivalled propriety tools. McCann Content Studios is part of McCann Birmingham, an integrated agency dedicated to telling the truth and telling it well. Because when a truth is well told, things change for the better.
As part of the McCann Content Studios, this team will have the backing of one of the UK’s largest and most awarded networks. You will work with a wider dedicated social and influencer team. You will need to come up with social specific ideas and create the content for those ideas.
The Role
We’re building something exciting at McCann Content Studios Birmingham and we’re looking for a sharp, culturally fluent Social Creative Lead to help shape it.
You’ll play a key role in an evolving creative team in Birmingham, working alongside a Social Design Lead and managing both Creative Strategists and Social Creatives.
You'll be the go-to for social; helping set the bar, lead creative direction, drive bold, platform-native thinking, and shape the team's identity from day one.
This is a role for a maker and a leader. Someone who’s just as comfortable concepting at speed as they are stepping back to shape long-term platforms. You’ll bring ideas to life with platform-native thinking, cultural awareness, and a desire to do things differently.
What You’ll Do
* Lead creative thinking across a range of brands, with a focus on Acer and Predator.
* Partner with the Social Design Lead to ensure ideas are both conceptually strong and visually distinctive.
* Manage and mentor a small, agile team of creatives and strategist.
* Develop ideas that are native to social but built to punch above their weight.
* Spot cultural opportunities and jump on reactive moments with smart, quick-fire work.
* Collaborate closely with design, strategy, and production to get ideas made and made well.
* Help define the creative culture and voice of this new team in Birmingham.
Who You Are
* A social-first creative who knows how to make work that earns attention and drives conversation.
* Confident leading projects—but also happy getting your hands dirty in the creative process.
* Passionate about culture, trends, and how brands can show up authentically in those spaces.
* Skilled at bringing teams together and helping people do their best work.
* A clear communicator who can bring others along with your ideas.
* Experience writing or creative directing copy is a plus.
* Excited about team-building, shaping new processes, and being part of something from the ground up.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to buy more holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
If you want to join an iconic network agency that offers you the chance to work on one of the top clients in our portfolio & the opportunity to progress your career with an unrivalled development programme, contact us now. And not through a recruiter, please.
Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
