Job Summary

WPP Creative is looking for a Content Creator who is passionate about social media, culture, storytelling and creating content that people actually want to watch, engage with and share.

The Content Creator will be responsible for developing and producing engaging, platform-native content for our clients across social channels. This includes ideation, scripting, shooting, editing and adapting content for different platforms and audiences.

The role requires someone who understands that creating for social is different from creating traditional advertising. You should be comfortable spotting trends, turning ideas into content quickly, experimenting with formats and creating content that feels natural to the platform and relevant to the audience.

You will work closely with Social & Influence, Creative, Strategy, Account Management, Creators, Production and other agency teams to develop content from idea through to delivery.

Understand when a trend is appropriate for a brand—and when it is better to avoid it.

3. Content Planning & Ideation

Contribute ideas to social content strategies, editorial plans and campaigns.

Work with Social & Influence Managers and Creatives to develop content concepts from brief to execution.

Develop content series, recurring formats and social-first franchises that can build audience interest over time.

Support reactive and real-time content opportunities where appropriate.

Contribute to brainstorming sessions, campaign development and new business pitches.

4. Creator & Influence Content

Support creator and influencer-led content development and production.

5. Content Production

Coordinate with designers, editors, photographers, videographers, creators and production partners where required.

Maintain a strong understanding of how major social platforms work and how content consumption differs across them.

Understand platform-native formats, hooks, storytelling techniques, audience behaviours and best practices.

Stay updated on platform changes, emerging formats and new creator behaviours.

Recommend appropriate formats and approaches based on the objective and platform.

Continuously experiment with new content approaches and learn from performance.

7. Performance & Optimisation

Review content performance and identify what is working and what can be improved.

Use performance data and social insights to inform future content creation.

Understand key social metrics such as reach, watch time, completion rate, engagement, shares, saves and comments.

Work with the Social & Influence team to optimise content based on audience response.

Apply learnings from previous content to improve future work.

8. Collaboration & Brand Stewardship

Work closely with Social & Influence, Creative, Strategy and Account Management teams.
