Job Description
Head of Social StrategyIndependent Media & Creative Agency | London | Hybrid WorkingIn 2005, a group of restless thinkers decided to rewrite the rules of media. They wanted to build an agency that valued freedom, not just as a word, but as a way of working, thinking, and growing. From the start, they set out to do things differently: no rigid hierarchies, no cookie cutter processes, just smart, passionate people empowered to make brilliant work happen. That belief in freedom still defines everything today, from how strategies are built to how people spend their time.Now, the agency is entering an exciting new chapter. Social has become the pulse of culture, and they are ready to redefine how brands show up in that space. This is a first of its kind hire for the agency, a chance to build and lead a social strategy function from the ground up. They are looking for a Head of Social Strategy to develop insight led strategies that amplify brands through bold, culture shaping ideas.This is not a paid social role. It is about unlocking the power of social thinking, helping brands use platforms, creators, and communities to tell stories that matter. You will bring a sharp understanding of how people behave, connect, and create online, turning those insights into strategies that drive both brand impact and business growth.You will lead the quality of strategic thinking across multiple clients, inspiring senior stakeholders and collaborating with creative, content, and data teams to bring ideas to life. You will also help shape the agency’s point of view on social, creating thought leadership that challenges convention and builds its reputation as a leader in modern communications.To thrive here, you will need curiosity, cultural fluency, and the confidence to think differently. You will be both a thinker and a doer, someone who brings clarity to complexity, energy to opportunity, and inspiration to every room. Above all, you will be excited by the opportunity to create something new and to help define what social strategy means within one of the UK’s most respected independent agencies.If you are a social strategist ready to lead with imagination, insight, and influence, this is your opportunity to make your mark.
