We're looking for a one-person hype engine. Someone who can take a thing we made — a Nook exhibition, a new brand mascot, a campaign launch, a fashion show — and make sure the right people see it, know about it, and remember it.

This is a new role at This January, working closely with our CCOs for internal initiatives, helping push the agency forward in a public way: marketing our work, growing our audience, building the community around us, and making sure our best moments don't quietly happen in a vacuum.

You'll also support the team with social content creation and marketing for a couple ongoing AOR clients.

This role will start with a 3-month contract with the opportunity to transition to a permanent, full-time position.

What you'll do

Social and content for This January (TikTok, LinkedIn, IG, ???)
Build and strengthen our brand voice across platforms
Show up at our events with a phone in your hand and an instinct for what makes a good story
Reach out to press, partners, sponsors, and the kind of people who make a room more interesting
Help bring agency initiatives and sidequests from "we have an idea" to "we did it and people are talking about it"
Run social for a client or two when the work calls for it — this role is probably about a 60/40 split between internal and client work
Build and maintain community relationships that make our cultural footprint bigger

Who you probably are

Equal parts marketer, producer, hustler, content creator, and connector
The ideal candidate has 1–4 years of experience in social, content, marketing, or community at a brand, agency, publication, or cultural org
A self-starter who sees what needs to happen and takes initiative
Social-native. You understand TikTok the way some people understand spreadsheets
Open to feedback and good at iterating; confident in your ideas without being precious about them
Comfortable in messy beginnings and side quests
Generous, warm, a little weird, low-ego, follow-through-y
Excited to be a right hand, not running the show solo (yet)
Based in DC or willing to be — this role works best in person

Who you're probably not

Someone who needs a 12-step brief before starting
Someone who waits for permission instead of taking initiative
Someone who thinks "marketing" means writing press releases
Someone who'd rather be in a deck than at the event

To apply

Send us a note about why this role caught your eye, links to anything you've made or run and somewhere we can get a sense for your taste (social accounts, content, events, projects, side hustles all welcome), and one thing in culture right now that you can't stop thinking about.
