About The Position

Game Seven Agency, an Excel Sports Management Company, is a full service creative and experiential agency that lives for sport, music and culture. From the biggest moments to the smallest details, we pride ourselves on being in the know and building relationships that matter, for brands that matter. Our team is comprised of creatives, strategists, producers, designers, project managers, influencer managers, filmmakers, volunteers, activists, ballplayers, hypebeasts, social media moguls, runners, mixologists, party promoters, hip-hop elitists, show-bingers, hot-take havers, vintage t-shirt collectors, fitness fanatics, pet parents, plant parents, human parents, and general good time havers. Clients include Hennessey, Nike, Jordan, Spotify, Meta, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, Timberland, Oakley, Footlocker, Chime, Fanatics, Bleacher Report, Uninterrupted, and more. At Game Seven, we believe best-in-class social creative spans everything from stunty ideas to cinematic campaign spots to perfectly timed reaction posts, culturally fluent memes and timely comments — all grounded in strong visual craft and a deep understanding of the brand world. The Social Creative Director will lead and elevate all assigned social work streams, overseeing creative output across everything from concepts and copy to video, static, and motion — with a particular emphasis on design excellence and brand consistency across touchpoints. This role sets the creative standard by driving concept development, providing clear direction and feedback, and ensuring every deliverable reflects excellence, efficiency, cultural relevance, and alignment within the broader brand ecosystem. We’re looking for someone who’s led large-scale social creative at an agency before, who’s eager to bring that experience to Game Seven. You’re both a maker and a leader, capable of executing standout work while mentoring teams to consistently raise the bar. You bring a design-forward lens to social systems and storytelling, champion collaboration, uphold strong creative and operational processes, and push for work that breaks through while maintaining the everyday content that builds brands over time. Experience working within in-house or highly regulated brand environments, with a strong understanding of brand governance, IP considerations, and legal guardrails, is highly valued.
