Role: Creative Strategist, Content

Full-time Location: Venice, CA in the heart of an inspiring and eclectic artist community

A little about what we are looking for...

Importantly, someone that is well-versed in the business of brand marketing via digital video influencers on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

In corporate speak this is where we say something cliche like “searching for an agile self-starter with a proven track record” blah blah we’re exhausted! Yes, you need experience in our world (eComm, Influencer Marketing, Digital Media pls) and tbh this role is not for the faint of heart. You’ll be on the team that’s responsible for driving innovation in our space and that can take shape in a lot of different forms (see “Job Responsibilities” below).

But…. we’re most interested in who YOU are.

Do you make Powerpoint Presentations to analyze your friends’ past relationships? Okay amazing but also are you ok?
Do you crack your knuckles before sending a fire email like Bradley Cooper in Limitless? Good, because we need someone that can analyze a ton of data and tell a compelling story with it.
Do you sit back and pour an Olivia Pope-sized glass of wine and spit out digital poetic justice a la Carrie Bradshaw? Pls also drink a glass of water.
Do you drive through the suburbs with Olivia Rodrigo-sized tears? Don’t lie.
Do you get the subtle nod to the Olivias from late Millenial to early Gen Z? Hopefully so, because our work spans across multiple generations and we gotta know. about. it. all.

But more on the ton of data piece. We don’t expect you to be a data scientist (different team) but you should be as comfortable with your way around a Pivot table as you are around a cocktail table. This role is equal parts breaking down insights as it is presenting these findings to anyone from our college interns to C-suite execs.

Oh, and your writing. It should give us life, passion, energy *chefs kiss* while establishing us as thought leaders.

At the end of the day, this is a great opportunity for anyone that's looking to hit the ground running in one of LA's coolest startups. We are a fast-growing agile team that's launched over 230k campaign videos with 21B+ views for brands like FENDI, lululemon, L’oreal USA, Glossier, Urban Outfitters, Walmart, ... it's pretty listless. You'll learn (and ideally teach us) a ton of real-world, valuable skills and will 100% have a voice that's heard, a brain that's picked, and an impact that's felt by everyone that works here.

Feels like a match? Drop us your resume and a cover letter with the first paragraph that doesn’t start with “writing to express interest” and who knows, maybe the stars will align (we are in Full Moon in Virgo!!)

About The Creative Lab:

Said best by Regina George’s mom, our team is constantly asking, “Soooo....what is up? What’s the 411? What has everybody been up to? What's the hot gossip? Tell me everything. What have you guys been listening to? What are the cool jams?”

Because we are the culture keyholders at MagicLinks. We are consultants for our internal teams and external partners, fierce in growth strategy and intentional experimentation. We are equally invested in growing our business through deep brand partnerships and innovation across our organization as we are to upholding our commitments and values as a B Corp.

We function as a special team within MagicLinks, touching all areas of the business including Brand Partnerships, Talent, Product, and Marketing. Everyone on TCL is their own project manager a.k.a. given a lot of trust to own projects from end to end. We strive for excellence, not perfection. We celebrate failures. We deliver clear strategy and communication. We divide, conquer, collaborate, assess, and repeat.

But we don’t divide our parts down the middle unless we want to...get off our jocks @ Gen Z!!!

A Few Words on Diversity

We're equally committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace and in how we show up in this world. To us, diversity means recognizing that different views and experiences are as important as those we're already familiar with. It means taking radical ownership of the things we affect as individuals and as a company - including even inherited ways of doing things which may be destructive or biased and which we must work to change. It means looking at the world and making sure we embody as many of its best qualities as we can, and striving for that as a matter of principle, not as a marketing goal we check off a list.

This is how we strive to practice We define diversity as making sure (1) our table represents people from varying backgrounds, (2) inclusion as making sure our people have a seat at the table, and (3) equity as making sure our people have the same means to get to the table in the first place. Externally, we apply the same policies to partnerships, marketing, and product development.

Ultimately, diversity goes beyond what we look like, who we are, who we love or how we think. Diversity is shorthand for an integrity-driven way of operating and growing every single day, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
