Creative Currency Looking to add Digital Strategist

Job description 

Position: Full-time, Permanent 

Location: Canada 

Start Date: Immediate 

Who We’re Looking For  

Creative Currency is hiring a Digital Strategist to join our team of 30+ creatives and campaigners. We’re looking for someone who is up for a new challenge, shares our vision for creativity and culture, and wants to be part of taking our offering to the next level. 

This candidate is a social media and digital marketing strategist with a deep understanding of the changing nature of paid social media.  

This individual will report into our Director, Digital + Campaign Strategy while also working closely with our full team of creative, digital-first thinkers who are always looking for new and fresh ways to do things. We are a group of Swiss-army types, one day working on a social media campaign and another working on a full-service digital, traditional or OOH campaign. This often means working under tight timelines to get the job done. 

We are looking for someone with 2+ years of experience and knowledge in paid social media planning, placement, and management along with an understanding of paid search platforms, digital marketing, monitoring, and reporting.  

The position is ideally based in Toronto but qualified candidates from Halifax, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary or Hamilton will also be considered. 

What You’re Good At 

• Developing and executing social media marketing strategies. 
• Working on paid ad platforms including Meta, Snapchat, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Pinterest, TikTok and Google Search to build new campaigns, optimize existing campaigns and improve performance for our clients.  
• Experience in programmatic advertising platforms is considered an asset.  
• Reviewing and optimizing campaign performance data to develop actionable insights for our clients that support with strategic planning and KPI improvement.  
• Organization and time management with the ability to collaborate on multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced work environment. 
• Developing and executing SEO strategy is considered an asset. 

Your Skills 

• Up to date on digital and social media trends and various content platforms. 
• A strategic thinker who knows how to identify opportunities that align to our client needs. 
• A team player with an ability to support on multiple projects and tasks. 
• Proven experience bringing successful paid digital and social media strategies to life.

The Perks 

Competitive Salary + Professional Development Opportunities 

We offer a competitive salary and bonuses. We also provide you with the ability to expand your skillset and continuously learn through networking events and other professional development opportunities. 

Comprehensive Health Benefits + Company Phone Plan 

Our health benefits are competitive and include vision, dental, prescription drugs and mental health. We’ll also cover a portion of your monthly mobile phone expenses. 

Highly Diverse Clientele 

We’re not a traditional advertising agency. Whether our clients exist in the consumer or public affairs space, we help them focus on ideas and campaigns that give them currency in a world defined by social movements, political upheaval, and digital disruption. 

Socials, Outings + Retreats 

Culture isn’t just important to us — it’s everything. Lunches, happy hours, after-work gatherings, karaoke nights, summer volleyball — we like to be together at work and after. But this isn’t your typical mandatory fun. We do these things because we genuinely want to be there. Good companies are full of people who enjoy each other’s company. 

Work From Wherever 

Flexibility is crucial to accommodate everyone’s needs and schedules. Life happens. We want you to be your best self, so however or wherever you need to work, we will work with you to accommodate it. We also have offices across the country for you to take advantage of – Edmonton, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, and Halifax. 

A Newly Renovated Office Space 

Completely renovated in April 2023, our new office space is perfect for team brainstorms, quiet time in phone booths, and comes with a fully stocked beverage fridge and snack shelf.  

Professional Development and Monthly Speakers 

We believe that there’s always opportunity to learn more – both internally and externally. Through our internal Professional Development Program and Monthly Speakers Series, we hear from the best in the business on all things politics, communications, marketing, and some out-of-the-box topics, too! 

Who We Are
