About The Position
Saylor is an entertainment-first creative agency based. Founded by former entertainment executives, we set sail in 2021 to build an independent agency that rethinks how brands communicate with today’s audiences. We believe every brand is an entertainment brand. That is why we craft ideas that move with culture, creating work that earns attention, sparks connection, and builds fandoms that last. Our clients include Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Hilton, Anthropologie, and more. We’re a tight‑knit crew of creatives, strategists, and makers who collaborate without ego, stay curious, and always show up for one another. We foster a supportive space where diverse perspectives are celebrated, hierarchy never blocks great ideas, and everyone is empowered to jump in, solve problems, and push creative boundaries together. The Strategist will work directly with the Strategy department to develop thoughtful strategic rationale that informs breakthrough creative work. They will help define social content strategies; analyze social performance; conduct competitive brand audits; research audience behaviors; and regularly report on content performance as well as trends to optimize future posts. The ideal candidate for this role will be an energetic, creative thinker who’s passionate about telling a great story across all content platforms with experience across a wide variety of entertainment brands. Not only do you love pitching exciting ideas, but you love backing them up with data and insights for a comprehensive brand or campaign strategy. We are looking for a true Internet native who “lives” on social media and is always up-to-date on the latest trends, but also knows their way around a spreadsheet.
