Sr. Copywriter

__SENIOR SOCIAL STRATEGIST__ 

The Senior Social Strategist will lead the day-to-day social media planning and management for our largest client, a prominent QSR brand. She or he will also help with additional social  opportunities across our client portfolio, partnering with other Strategy team members to  translate audience insights and client brand strategies into the social space. 
This role is really the social marketing lead for our agency. The right candidate has the opportunity to expand the team and its impact across multiple clients, as well as to build a  stronger agency approach to data and optimization. This person will also provide  mentorship to an Associate Engagement Manager, directing her day-to-day output. This is a  key role for Camp + King’s continued success. 
We are currently working remotely and plan to reopen our offices later in 2021. We are  considering Senior Social Strategist candidates in Chicago, San Francisco, or Atlanta, with  a preference for Chicago-based candidates. 

__About you:__ 
- You’ve got at least 5 to 8 years of experience in social media strategy, including  demonstrated experience in thought leadership and client service  
- Your résumé includes agency experience—this is a requirement for us—and, ideally,  you’ve spent time within a large network agency/PR firm, or within a social-specific  agency 
- You’re a lover and an expert of all things social media: You know the ins and outs of  how each platform works, and can keep pace with their constant changes and updates;  you could craft a sound point-of-view on a platform’s new features or on broader trends  affecting our clients’ business in your sleep 
- You can point to proven examples of strategies you’ve developed for well-known brands  in the social space including, ideally, thumb-stopping content you’ve helped produce as  a real-time response to cultural events 
- You’re reliable, responsible, and deadline-oriented with demonstrated attention to detail;  you’re capable of managing multiple fast-paced projects at once—from initial planning,  to concept, to content creation and execution, to analytics and optimization 
- You are a data-backed storyteller (not just a number regurgitator) and can go toe-to-toe  with senior-level clients or agency partners, persuading them to think differently • You have advanced knowledge of some social media tools/platforms and an ability to  quickly navigate a tool with which you’re unfamiliar (currently, Camp + King uses  Netbase and Sprinklr)
- Bonus points if you’ve got meaningful experience specifically working with multicultural  audiences on social platforms, and/or in growing recognizable QSR, CPG, or DTC  brands’ social presence 
- Double bonus points awarded if you’ve led or built out a small social team in a previous  agency 
- You’re interested in joining a creative boutique that’s been recognized four times on  AdAge’s Small Agency of the Year list, including as the Silver Overall winner in 2020 

__What you’ll do:__ 
- Develop killer social + audience insights—This truly is a Strategy role first, not a  community management role; while it may be social media-specific, we have high  expectations for the caliber of all Camp + King Strategists and their strategic output 
- Play the role of social brand steward—Help us define and adhere to the brand  guardrails for how our largest client shows up in social 
- Create and manage complex editorial calendars and content strategies across  multiple audiences 
- Partner directly with major and emerging social platforms to educate our teams and  clients on opportunities within each 
- Craft sound influencer strategies that resonate with authenticity 
- Produce rich, evocative creative briefs for content ideation and creation projects  with our Creative teams; partner directly with those Creatives to produce the most  impactful work possible 
- Be a true thought leader—we need someone who is capable of deepening  conversations about platforms, proactively identifying new engagement  opportunities, and enriching existing earned and paid media strategies • Optimize, optimize, optimize 
- Other duties as assigned by other members of the Strategy team
