The Role: Content Creator

We’re looking for a Content Creator to join our growing social and influencer team at VML. This role is for someone who lives and breathes social storytelling, understands how content behaves across platforms, and can turn ideas into engaging, native content that connects with audiences.

You’ll be given the opportunity to work across a range of projects where creativity, speed, and cultural awareness matter just as much as craft.

Social-First Storytelling:Understand how content behaves differently across platforms and create work that is optimised for each environment, particularly TikTok, Instagram, and emerging social platforms.

Trend Awareness:Stay close to cultural moments, platform updates, and content trends, proactively bringing ideas into the team that keep work fresh, relevant, and culturally connected.

Collaboration:Work closely with internal teams including strategy, influencer, production, and account management to ensure content aligns with wider campaign and brand objectives.

Content Delivery:Support the end-to-end production process, from planning and shooting through to editing and publishing, ensuring content is delivered on time and to a high creative standard.

Feedback & Optimisation:Review content performance and use insights to refine and improve future output, contributing to a culture of continuous creative improvement.

What we're looking for:

• Experience creating social-first content for brands, agencies, or digital platforms

• Strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram, and short-form video culture

• Ability to turn ideas into visually engaging, platform-native content

• Strong creative instincts with an eye for detail and storytelling

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
