We're looking for a Creative Strategist to join our Social & Content team at Grey London on a 12-Month FTC. If you live and breathe social culture, think strategically but also create brilliantly, this is the role for you.
Within Grey, you'll sit at the intersection of creative ideation and cultural insight, with some occasional content production too. We’ll look to you to develop social-first ideas that are ambitious, nimble and fast.
At Grey, we have an exciting client portfolio, working with brands across a range of sectors – from health & wellness, to tourism, automotive, FMCG, telecoms, energy, sports & active wear – alongside pro-bono projects for charity groups. This variety will keep you challenged and engaged, allowing you to broaden your experience and have an impact on culture.
In this role, you will primarily support our Consumer Healthcare client, as part of WPP Team Vitale. Our value to this client lies in sitting outside the day-to-day, bringing a fresh, culturally-connected perspective that pushes their brand forward. The work is highly strategic with complex business challenges, however the output needs to feel native, immediate and unmistakably social.
You’ll also have the chance to contribute to wider agency briefs and pitches - bringing your social-first thinking to the broader Grey London creative output. If you're energised by the idea of concepting in the morning and being on-set by the afternoon, this one's for you.
What can you expect from us?
At Grey, you’ll have the opportunity to work at an incredible studio, with some of the most creative and inspired people in the industry, all whilst getting to grow & shape your career with us. We offer a competitive salary, lots of training, plenty of benefits and wellbeing perks too.
Inclusion & Belonging
At Grey, we know that the more diverse the input, the more famous and effective the output. Different perspectives spark bigger ideas, braver creativity and better work - and that starts with how we welcome new talent. We embrace applications from people underrepresented in our industry and value the unique skills, experiences and viewpoints everyone brings. Our goal is simple: create a place where everyone can belong, and no one feels the need to hide any part of who they are.
That spirit runs through our application process too. If there’s anything - from neurodivergence, to a health condition, or any other circumstance - that might shape your experience, just let our People team know. We’ll work with you to make the adjustments you need to show your best, and we’ll treat whatever you share with respect.
