Head of Social Strategy

New York, NY

Mythology is looking for a Head of Social Strategy that lives and breathes the modern media landscape. This role will serve an important function in helping the Agency work with its Clients and their Media Teams, to build modern and integrated approaches to our creative solutions as well as contribute and shape the Agency’s POV around Social Strategy overall, including new business opportunities.

The Mythology ethos has always been about bringing a few disciplines together - in our case, ad creative, retail & brand design - and making impactful, legacy-building work to span across those worlds. Over the course of our 16 years as an agency, it’s no question that this work is only amplified by its existence in a social & digital context - so bringing that big thinking to the infinite mediums that make up the landscape of all things extremely online is where we’ll look for this person to take us.

A major piece of this role’s remit will be in the exploration & asking of a few questions: How do we introduce ourselves in these spaces? What new conversations does it allow for? How do we set our thinking up as a way to open those new doors? We’d can’t wait to work with someone who will help us find out.
