Role
Who you are
- As a digital marketing agency that specializes in social media, it’s imperative that you understand and are able to demonstrate experience of the following:
- The social media landscape, you stay up to date with the latest platforms and can articulate their differences and opportunities to clients. This includes but is not limited to, Reddit, Discord, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and Snapchat
- Stay up-to-speed with the influencer landscape, being able to speak to trends and up-and-coming creators will be extremely advantageous
- The gaming industry (ideal, not critical) - a lot of our clients come to us as we’re specialists in the gaming space. Having knowledge of the industry, what’s happening, what’s working, what isn’t, and being able to impress clients with your expertise will give you a massive advantage
- Candidates who organically engage with creators on social media and speak confidently about them throughout our interview process will be hugely beneficial
What the job involves
- Kairos is looking for a Creative to join the team. Focused on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube the perfect team member will be ahead of the curve on social, and will complement this skillset with a passion for gaming
- Generating creative ideas aligned to client briefs
- Rationalizing those decisions directly to our clients and senior stakeholders internally (where applicable), sometimes in pitch format, sometimes during weekly calls
- Writing content to be delivered across channels, an interest in copywriting is a must!
- Proactively create - you'll produce creative ideas that can help unlock the true potential of our clients
- Working with our strategists to understand the changes in consumer behaviour to always stay ahead with your creative
- Bring your ideas to life visually, knowledge of the Adobe suite will be a great advantage in this role
Application process
- Stage One (30 mins):
- Let’s get to know each other
- An informal chat, firstly giving you the opportunity to ask questions about the role and find out more about the business, then we’ll ask you three questions
- Why do you want to work for Kairos?
- Why do you think you’re right for this role?
- What were your biggest challenges and biggest successes in your previous role?
- Stage Two (One hour - face to face if possible):
- Let’s get serious for a second
- An interview in front of two Kairos teammates. This stage will focus on your skillset, and ability to deliver the work and we’ll ask questions about your specific experience aligned to the role. Some questions you may be asked are:
- Talk about a creative campaign that was delivered on Social that you weren’t a part of, what did you like or dislike about it and how would you do it differently/take it to the next level?
- Where do you find you gather the most inspiration for the work that you do?
- Tell us about a project that you’ve worked on, what was the brief, what was the process, and what was the outcome
- Stage Three (One hour - face to face required, this is a hybrid role):
- Would you like a glass of water?
- A task and presentation in front of all three people from Stage One & Two. We use this task to understand core competencies:
- Ability to pitch and your professional communication style
- Ability to create pitch decks / communicate your ideas visually
- An understanding of your process
- The task will present you with one of our existing clients and a previously released product, we’ll ask you the best way to launch the product using social media. We’re looking for a proposal which answers our questions, shows you feel comfortable in this space, but most importantly leaves us brimming with excitement about working with you
- If you’re not successful at this stage we’ll commit to providing full detailed feedback about your presentation, explaining why we’ve moved forward with someone else
