Account Executive, Digital & Social Strategy

Location: Chicago, Detroit, or Minneapolis

Do you live for the “For You Page” and know exactly why a post goes viral before it even hits the mainstream? We are seeking a social-savvy, high-energy executor to join our Webby and Shorty Award-winning Midwest Digital & Social Team as an Account Executive. This isn’t a role for someone who just scrolls; we need a “student of the game” who is hungry to learn the strategic “why” behind award-winning work.

Joining a team with massive momentum, you will be a proactive doer who can spot a trending audio clip one hour and help draft a data-backed performance report the next. You will serve as the connective tissue across our hybrid PR, creative, and paid media teams—ensuring our day-to-day execution is flawless, timely, and always culturally relevant.

Responsibilities

• Execute day-to-day digital and social deliverables, including the management of content calendars, community engagement, ad buys, and publishing across platforms.
• Support the development of digital ecosystems by conducting research and gathering insights that inform social-first strategies.
• Act as a reliable and polished point of contact for internal teams, ensuring project timelines are met and assets are delivered to a high standard.
• Monitor social listening and data tools to identify emerging trends, “human truths,” and reactive opportunities for brands.
• Assist in the integration of PR, creative, and paid media workstreams to ensure a unified and effective digital presence for our clients.
• Actively experiment with and apply emerging AI tools and digital platforms to increase productivity and creative output.
• Handle essential account administration duties, including status reports, meeting recaps, and tracking project budgets.
• Stay in the know about platform updates and algorithm shifts, sharing findings with the broader team to keep our work ahead of the curve.
  
  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, PR, Journalism, or equivalent experience.
• 1–2 years of experience in a fast-paced agency or corporate environment (strong internships count!) with a focus on social media or digital marketing.
• A deep passion for internet culture and a native-level understanding of platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and emerging social spaces.
• Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to draft crisp social copy and clear internal updates that are error-free and client-ready.
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines with high attention to detail.
• A proactive mindset—someone who asks smart questions, seeks feedback, and anticipates the next step without constant direction.
• Proficiency in basic social media management tools (e.g., Sprout Social) and a desire to learn advanced AI-driven workflows.
• Previous work portfolio or examples of social media work preferred but not required.
  
  

Salary range is $50,000-$60,000. The salary will be commensurate with the selected candidate’s experience and dependent upon the workplace.
