First, a little about us: We’re not your typical agency. We have fun, but we’re serious about our work. We’re smart, but also a little crazy.
Over the past 30 years, we’ve continuously grown services and staff. We have some great clients to thank for that. But, it really all comes down to the team that develops and executes big ideas.
We look for talent from both in- and outside the marketing industry to grow along with the agency. We’ve been known to have account executives who craft great content and traditional designers who lend impressive visions to web production.
Now let’s talk about you: We hire people, not positions. So if you’re up for the challenge, then we’re willing to challenge you. The only true job requirement is creativity. Inventive minds capable of adaptation to virtually any marketing tasks are welcome.

Social Media Strategist
If you’re going to make a living doing social media, your copy better be a step or two or three above cute or cliché. ABC is looking for a social media manager capable of capturing sometimes-complex material within a limited character count. You need to make this information incredibly engaging in just a sentence or two. The copy may be concise, but the challenge is real and ABC needs someone real good at accepting it again and again and again.
Don’t get us wrong, the social media grind is as cool as they come, with lots of opportunity to get creative and have some fun. You’ll manage a numerous and diverse mix of clients.
But, what used to be throwing up a quip with a link will not suffice in this field where we’re always competing for attention. Social media is a major part of what we do as a full-service agency, so you’ll work closely with designers and videographers to create some kickass content.
You’ll also be responsible for monitoring and reporting on all this stuff, helping us determine what’s working, what’s not and what new industry trends to take advantage of, so stay up on that. Social monitoring is extremely important, as you’ll need to keep up with comments and DMs, working closely with account managers and clients to respond accordingly.
You’ll need to flex some PR muscle, primarily through influencer outreach to get popular personalities on board with our brands. You’ll be part of the Content Development Team, so expect to do some extended copywriting too in the form of blog posts, articles and press releases. It is essential that everything you write be grammatically sound and in accordance with AP Style.
All this activity is day-to-day, but you’ll also need to take the long view as you develop posts in advance and back this planning with strategic thinking. You’ll have the assistance of the entire Content Development Team that you’re a part of. If this sounds good, send in your resume and a handful of relevant samples to careers@abcideabased.com
