Who we are

Born Social is a full service social media agency designed for the new era of advertising. Our client list includes household names like Guinness, Primark, Ford, Mars and ASDA as well as the next generation of big brands like Nando’s, Seedlip and Peloton.

As a proud B Corp we work hard to attract, retain and develop the best social-first talent and create a culture where individuals can thrive. We’re a team of over 175 people across the UK & US and growing!

We’re looking for a creative and technically skilled Social Content Creator to join our team, specialising in producing high-quality, social-first content for platforms like Instagram Reels, Stories, and TikTok. You’ll work closely with Creative and Client Services teams and contribute to the planning and execution of shoots, handling pre-production logistics, and delivering polished edits. You’ll also play a key role in educating teams on best practices for in-app content creation and ensuring all output adheres to social platform standards and trends.

What you'll be doing:

Pre Production Conception:

• Collaborating closely with Creatives and contributing to the planning of shot-lists, ensuring concepts and shooting techniques are representative of social-first and platform native styles.

Pre Production Logistics:

• Collaborating closely with Client Services/Studio stakeholders to ensure pre-production actions are completed ahead of attending shoots (client permissions/release forms etc.).
• Advising on specific needs for the shoot based on agreed concepts (specific equipment).

Shooting:

• Shooting in-app video content for Instagram Reels, Stories, and TikTok, ensuring the content matches the art direction & concepts from pre production.
• Comfortable with composition, lighting and use of equipment, and using social-first, platform native shooting techniques (e.g. transitions, POVs, etc.).
• This may include featuring in content where relevant.

Editing:

• Delivering edits of in-app content, able to ensure all clips sync seamlessly to the relevant audio and there is a clear narrative to the content.
• Ensuring that the final edit is consistent with platform native executions, handing over to the Design team for out of platform builds (motion graphic overlays, etc.).

Agency Education:

• Contributing to educating other teams on best practice in-app content, upskilling relevant team members on best practice formats and delivery.

Collaboration & Communication:

• Forming strong working relationships across account teams and across departments, providing a high quality experience of working with Content Creators through excellent communication & collaboration.

What we're looking for:

• You have a passion for social trends and a keen interest in creating engaging, platform-specific content.
• You have experience shooting and editing social-first content for Instagram Reels, Stories, and TikTok and a strong understanding of platform-native shooting techniques (e.g. transitions, POVs, trending formats).
• You demonstrate an ability to produce polished, in-app content edits ensuring a clear narrative and smooth transitions consistent with platform native executions.
• You have a solid understanding of composition, lighting, and the use of equipment to capture high-quality visuals.
• You’re comfortable being in front of the camera and are willing to feature in content when needed.
• You’re familiar with pre-production logistics, from planning shot lists to advising on specific needs for shoots based on agreed concepts.
• You have experience collaborating with multiple stakeholders and departments, ensuring smooth coordination throughout.
• You stay up to date with in-app content best practices and trends, confidently sharing your insights to help upskill wider teams and support ongoing training efforts.

Our values:

Our values aim to pinpoint the magic ingredients for us at our best. We look for people who share our values and can add to our culture.

See Challenge as Opportunity... is about our attitude and to be very clear, this is not a value of optimism, nor is it about loving every challenge.

Say It Simply... is how we communicate. Think of the basic rules of communication - honest, clear, confident.

Do What You Say... is the crux of our reputation and longevity. When you join Born Social, our trust is fully given. It is yours to lose.

Make Each Other Better... is about our culture of collaboration and commitment to development. We are only as good as the people around us so we all take responsibility for developing each other, as well as ourselves.

Consciously Contribute... is bigger than all the others. It ensures we grow right. It broadens our focus beyond Born Social and cements our commitment to doing what’s just, not what’s easy or immediately self-serving.
