Job Description

Some days you're deep in owned social — building out share-worthy content across a large portfolio of fun brands, writing captions with actual voice, and turning a brand's day-to-day social presence into something people choose to follow. Other days you're dreaming up the big, loud, culture-jacking tentpole moment that gets Buzzfeed, Complex, and Hypebeast calling us instead of the other way around.You're not choosing between "always-on" and "big swing." You're doing both, for some of the most beloved brands on shelf.Golin Ketchum is the most awarded public relations agency of the decade. We create change that matters for our clients and our people.
