Senior Social Content Creative

Job description

The Role Create work people actually want to watch. Most content gets ignored. We're not interested in making more of it. At Core Social, we've built our offering around a simple belief. Brand gets you remembered. Performance gets you results. Attention Plus makes both possible. Because in a world where everyone is creating content, attention has become the most valuable thing a brand can earn. That's where you come in. We're looking for a Senior Social Creative to join our multi-award-winning Social Content team, working with some of the biggest brands in Ireland and beyond. Someone who believes social deserves big ideas, always-on ideas and most importantly, ideas that connect brands with real life people across social platforms each and every day. Someone who understands that the best work doesn't interrupt people—it earns their attention. Someone who's as obsessed with the trials and tribulations of life in Ireland as they are creativity.
