Freelance Account Director

OK COOL is looking to hire a killer Account Director to join our new team in the US and to manage a number of our most prestigious client accounts.

That line about ‘getting a seat on the rocketship’.

This is it.

OK COOL is a creative studio for social media, servicing the world's top 0.1% of brands.

We attract a certain type of client— those that thrive on newness and cultural relevance. Tier 1 brands that rely on our expert knowledge to help them navigate the new ecosystem of social media platforms, produce world class strategy and creative content.

Covid saw brand budgets shift to social and we were ready to scoop them up. We’re on a rapid growth trajectory, establishing our unique position as creative and strategic consultants to both brands and to the social media platforms themselves.

OK COOL works directly with TikTok, Instagram and Twitch on social strategies for their key projects, alongside campaigns for cultural powerhouses like Nike, Diesel, Bumble, Tag Heur Universal Music, Taco Bell, Rosewood Luxury Hotels, Brewdog and Linktree.

As our portfolio is growing, we’re expanding our footprint, and the next stop is the States.
Our current clients are asking for a US offering and our US pipeline is strong— we already service a number of US based clients from our London HQ.

We are looking for someone who understands the social media landscape and can provide strategic solutions to client’s business challenges. You’ll be a people person, good at building relationships and constantly on the lookout for smarter, faster, more effective ways of doing things
