Reports to: CD
We are OK COOL. Strategic and (very) creative partners to the world’s leading brands. Built for social, targeting Gen Z and young millennials. Campaigns, content, creators. Global af.
Our clients include some of the biggest, best brands on the planet. (Not exaggerating!)
We are looking for a Senior Creative, Copy with an exceptional knowledge of the social media and (sub)cultural landscape; a content-obsessed creative who can deliver social-first, top-notch ideas and strategy. You’ll be a meme maverick, viral sensationalist, super reactive culture freak who can provide creative concepts that entertain, educate, inspire and work smart to bring our brand worlds to life.
You’re on the bleeding edge of trends; have a deep understanding of community building and engagement. You’re a subculture investigator and initiator; you have a sharp eye for good content and a keen interest in storytelling. You’re someone who can craft words that move people and develop the big ideas that guide our social-first campaigns. You’ll help translate briefs into scroll-stopping creative concepts, write scripts and captions that capture brand voice, and collaborate closely with strategy, design, and production to bring ideas to life across video, static, and emerging formats.
You will join our creative team to serve on one of our biggest accounts, assisting with day to day content tasks, helping deliver viral-worthy content and campaigns centered around insightful BIG IDEAS while fostering an environment of collaboration and continuous learning.
Working at OK COOL as a Sr Creative, Copy you have an eye for what’s trending and know how to translate that into a kick-ass idea for any client across fashion, beauty, sports, travel, tech, lifestyle, and more.
When it comes to social content, you understand the in’s and out’s of what’s making the internet tick and can come up with endless ways to establish and execute social strategies in quick, efficient, impactful ways. If you’ve made a hobby out of doom-scrolling and a part-time job out of sending your friends memes and viral videos all day—and want to get in on the fun and make some magic—then this is probably the job for you.

Client Interaction: Present ideas and concepts in a clear, compelling way to both internal stakeholders and clients.
