LOOK OVER HERE!
Works like a charm every single time.
Now we’ve got your attention – we are seeking a Production Lead, and if you’re reading this, chances are that you’re looking for a job in content production. How handy!
Don’t worry – we’re not going to launch into a 40 point list of requirements involving 25 years of experience, knowledge of Australian politics, and the ability to work at 3AM on Saturday. First, we’d actually like to convince you to work here. There’s no point checking if you fit the bill for us if we don’t fit the bill for you!
So, who are we?
The Company
In a nutshell, we’re a social media agency.
Born in 2016 with a team number you could fit on half a hand, we’re now a 35+ strong family of creators, analysts, specialists, enthusiasts, deep-thinkers, boundary-pushers and list-makers (see what I did there?). Oh, and of course, content creators!
Our mission is to help build brands we believe in and have fun while we’re doing it! That’s why we’ve won quite a few awards, not just for our work, but also for our workplace, such as the ‘Top 100 Best Places to Work’.
You can see more of what we’re about on our website – spinbrands.com and see our smiling faces on the ‘About Us’ page.
