About The Position

Blue Hour Studios is a social-first agency that makes brands magnetic through work that gets shared, remixed, and talked about. We create at the intersection of culture, content, creators, and commerce to help brands turn distinct cultural relevance into demand. Headquartered in New York and Los Angeles and backed by Horizon Media, we connect creativity and media to drive real business impact. Our recipe for success? We hire talented people from different perspectives (that’s where you come in), challenge them, and give them every opportunity to grow. Our strategy team helps brands understand what’s happening across culture, social media, creators, and communities, then turns those insights into smart, social-first ideas. We’re looking for a curious, culturally plugged-in Assistant Social Strategist to support social and influencer strategy for a flagship client. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who loves social media, follows trends obsessively, and wants to learn how strategy shapes campaigns and content. You’ll help the team track trends, monitor conversations online, support reporting, and uncover insights that help guide creative and influencer work. You’ll work closely with strategy, creative, influencer, and paid media teams while building the foundations of social-first marketing.
