Job description

Who we are

We are gospooky. An incredibly fast-moving bunch of unconventional storytellers, social media superstars, and slam-dunking creatives. We know all things internet culture and create scroll-stopping content people actually want to share. One thing we all have in common: we’re always on the lookout for attention. At Gospooky, we believe in being authentic, bold, and creative—it’s the essence of who we are. We’re on the lookout for like-minded talent who share these values and thrive on pushing boundaries by shaking up social media. We need people who aren’t afraid to experiment, think outside the box, and embrace challenges with enthusiasm. If you’re someone who spots an opportunity in the morning and brings it to life by the afternoon, we’d love to hear from you.

What we do
Guided by our ARC (Always Relevant Content) approach, we focus on crafting content that stays timely and impactful. Our team includes content creatives and strategists who collaborate closely to deliver highly relevant content for our clients. Together, they form power teams that can quickly transform trends into tailored content within 24 hours or develop long-lasting series and formats that deeply resonate with communities across various platforms. And if the insights are really strong we build it out to impactful campaigns.

Now, here's the deal: We're scouting for a Creative Lead. Someone who is a master of decks and who can bring home pitches for clients like JBL, Nike, and Dior. We're into those who embrace experimentation, spot a new feature in the morning, and bring it to life by the afternoon. We're big on talent nurturing and swear by the power of short videos, groundbreaking artists' rewriting norms, and creators ready to reshape the ad world. At GoSpooky, we're rule-breakers, writing stories that resonate deeply. If you're up to challenge norms and unleash your creativity, we're pumped to have you join the team. 

You’ll also dive into new business development, strategy, and building brand partnerships within the creative field. If you’re ready to challenge norms, think big, and unleash your creativity, we’d love to have you on the team.
