We're proud to be Microsoft's agency partner across its Brand social channels; the global PR agency for Xbox; and the influencer agency of Xbox, Surface, Microsoft 365, and Windows; we also help several executives engage critical stakeholders and raise their visibility. Our success comes from our smart, passionate, and curious people, who tell great stories and solve complex business problems day in and day out.

We are seeking an experienced Social Content Creator to join our team of social makers, creatives, strategists, and community builders supporting Microsoft's growing portfolio with active, agile social content that breaks through-and drives brand love.
