Contract
Onsite
1 month ago
About the role
We're looking for a one-person hype engine. Someone who can take a thing we made — a Nook exhibition, a new brand mascot, a campaign launch, a fashion show — and make sure the right people see it, know about it, and remember it.
This is a new role at This January, working closely with our CCOs for internal initiatives, helping push the agency forward in a public way: marketing our work, growing our audience, building the community around us, and making sure our best moments don't quietly happen in a vacuum.
You'll also support the team with social content creation and marketing for a couple ongoing AOR clients.
This role will start with a 3-month contract with the opportunity to transition to a permanent, full-time position.

To apply
Send us a note about why this role caught your eye, links to anything you've made or run and somewhere we can get a sense for your taste (social accounts, content, events, projects, side hustles all welcome), and one thing in culture right now that you can't stop thinking about. Email [email protected] (emails are preferred rather than LinkedIn applications).

This role will start with a 3-month contract with the opportunity to transition to a permanent, full-time position.
What you'll do
- Social and content for This January (TikTok, LinkedIn, IG, ???)
- Build and strengthen our brand voice across platforms
- Show up at our events with a phone in your hand and an instinct for what makes a good story
- Reach out to press, partners, sponsors, and the kind of people who make a room more interesting
- Help bring agency initiatives and sidequests from "we have an idea" to "we did it and people are talking about it"
- Run social for a client or two when the work calls for it — this role is probably about a 60/40 split between internal and client work
- Build and maintain community relationships that make our cultural footprint bigger
Who you probably are
- Equal parts marketer, producer, hustler, content creator, and connector
- The ideal candidate has 1–4 years of experience in social, content, marketing, or community at a brand, agency, publication, or cultural org
- A self-starter who sees what needs to happen and takes initiative
- Social-native . You understand TikTok the way some people understand spreadsheets
- Open to feedback and good at iterating; confident in your ideas without being precious about them
- Comfortable in messy beginnings and side quests
- Generous, warm, a little weird, low-ego, follow-through-y
- Excited to be a right hand, not running the show solo (yet)
- Based in DC or willing to be — this role works best in person
Who you're probably not
- Someone who needs a 12-step brief before starting
- Someone who waits for permission instead of taking initiative
- Someone who thinks "marketing" means writing press releases
- Someone who'd rather be in a deck than at the event
