The Role

You are the heartbeat of WPP Content Studio.

A digital-first, social-native creator who thrives at the intersection of culture, content, and technology.

You don’t just make content—you shape conversations. You can think strategically, ideate fearlessly, and execute flawlessly across digital platforms, owned channels, and paid media. You know how to connect creativity with performance, and you’re not afraid to experiment, adapt, and push boundaries.

You have a start-up mindset—curious, proactive, and hungry to learn. You’re fluent in the language of pop culture, native to social media, and just as comfortable in a brainstorm as you are presenting ideas to clients. And you’re excited about the future: you embrace AI as a tool to work faster, smarter, and bolder.
