WHAT'S LESS IMPORTANT

A degree. It’s not about where you learned your passion, it’s about what you bring to the table.

HOW TO APPLY

We're not your average suit-and-tie agency, and we don't want your average application either. In addition to submitting your CV, we want to see your creative side shine! So, here's the scoop:

TASK: Create a social-first, vertical format video (think TikTok + Reels) that spills the beans about you and your social media mojo. We want to see your personality and your love of social shine through. Thinking of a favourite trending filter that captures this perfectly? We want to see it! Pondering on a favourite trending audio which explains your love of social seamlessly? We want to hear it!

What we DO want to see

• An injection of humour and entertainment
• Your personality shine through
• A thorough grasp of the world of social
• Effective use of native platform skills and features

What we DON’T want to see

• An extensively produced, highly polished video
• A 10-minute monologue delivered directly to the camera

We're not looking for perfection – just your personality and some good ol' creativity.

Finally, remember, we’re looking for potential, not the finished product but entries that show you ‘get’ the social space will absolutely give you an advantage.

HOW TO SEND IT TO US

Once you’ve clicked ‘apply’ on our website you’ll be taken to our application page. During the application completion phase please upload your video by selecting ‘upload supporting files’. There will be clear instructions here to help guide you should you be unsure.
