Game Seven•West Hollywood, CA

3d•$175,000 - $200,000

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 perfectly timed reaction posts, culturally fluent memes, and timely comments. The Social Creative Director leads creative output across all social work streams — concepts, copy, video, static, motion — and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves to get it done. This role demands sharp art direction, strong concepting instincts, and the ability to personally execute at a high level while also guiding a team. You set the creative standard not just by giving notes, but by showing what great looks like. We're looking for someone with a bias toward action, who's led large-scale social creative at an agency before and brings that experience to Game Seven. You're a maker first and a leader second, someone who can concept an idea in the morning, art direct a shoot in the afternoon, and review a high volume of social deliverables before EOD. You champion collaboration, uphold strong creative processes, and push for work that breaks through. Most importantly, you take a hands-on role in ensuring the highest quality output and establishing strong narrative throughlines for the everyday content that builds brands over time.
