Job Description

We are a boutique social media marketing agency focused on delivering done-for-you services to entrepreneurs, business owners, and digital creators. We also teach social media strategies in our online membership program and through our podcast.

We are looking for a social media assistant to join our team.

Our Values

Integrity: The nature of our work means that we handle some sensitive data for our clients. We value honesty above all else as it is vital to our success. If a client isn’t a good fit, we tell them so. We don’t promise a certain number of sales/followers/engagement and believe doing so is dishonest. When mistakes happen, we take responsibility and work hard to make things right.

Passion: We LOVE what we do. We love creating and playing on the internet. We love our clients. We love our members. And we’re genuinely excited to help them succeed. The only reason we exist is because of them and we are so grateful for that.

Communication: Life happens. We understand that. Because our team is virtual and world wide, we expect an extremely high level of communication so that our business can run smoothly.

Excellence: We go above and beyond for our clients and members. We believe in striving for 110%. Delivering an amazing service is the key to continuing to grow our business.

Friendliness: We love showing up to work with a positive outlook and compassion for our team, our clients, and our members.
