Job Description:
ICUC is the global leader in Social Media solutions for over 15 years. To date, the ICUC team consists of over 350 people, in over 35 countries, covering 50 languages around the clock. In an environment where the only constant is change, we create common ground between brands and audiences across communities and social media. Fueled by a unique culture built in and around meritocracy, we bring the passion, the know-how and the balance necessary to maintain the charted course we set for ourselves: to be the best, we employ the best. Are you ready to be part of the ICUC team?
Position Overview
When you say, “I’m a content creator,” how do people usually react? Do they get it? At ICUC, we do.
Here you’re a creative.
Sure, you live, breathe, speak, make social media content. But you’re more than that. You take a creative brief and an overarching content brand identity and turn it into creative social media concepts and outputs that deeply connect with real people on their real screens out in the real world.
Yeah, you shoot and edit and sound design, but you also write and art direct. You build brands through social media and foster meaningful relationships with clients. You do it through always-on content and 360 campaigns. And you do it in partnership with other content creatives; producers; writers and art directors; and creative directors. You do it for big brands or those who might become big thanks to the work you do every day.
Sold? Then you should apply. Work here. Shape culture. Report directly to a creative director, then work towards becoming one in the future if you want. Or just make kickass work and build your reel. Because that’s another thing: here you can define your career path in an environment that embraces the uncharted. In?
