Assistant Social Strategist, Blue Hour Studios

Job Description

Blue Hour Studios is a social-first agency that makes brands magnetic through work that gets shared, remixed, and talked about. We create at the intersection of culture, content, creators, and commerce to help brands turn distinct cultural relevance into demand.

Headquartered in New York and Los Angeles and backed by Horizon Media, we connect creativity and media to drive real business impact. Our recipe for success? We hire talented people from different perspectives (that's where you come in), challenge them, and give them every opportunity to grow.

What You'll Do:

Our strategy team helps brands understand what's happening across culture, social media, creators, and communities, then turns those insights into smart, social-first ideas.

We're looking for a curious, culturally plugged-in Assistant Social Strategist to support social and influencer strategy for a flagship client. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who loves social media, follows trends obsessively, and wants to learn how strategy shapes campaigns and content.

You'll help the team track trends, monitor conversations online, support reporting, and uncover insights that help guide creative and influencer work. You'll work closely with strategy, creative, influencer, and paid media teams while building the foundations of social-first marketing. The Assistant Strategist reports to the Senior Strategist.

Strategy, Analytics and Reporting:

• Assist with social listening, trend, and conversation tracking across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and emerging platforms

• Help gather audience, creator, and competitive research

• Support weekly and monthly reporting across social and influencer campaigns

• Help track content and creator performance to identify what's resonating

• Support the strategy team in day-to-day account needs

• Stay on top of platform updates, creator trends, and internet culture

• Contribute ideas during brainstorms and planning sessions

• Learn how social insights translate into strategy, creative development, and campaign execution

Who You Are:

• You're deeply interested in social media, internet culture, creators, and trends

• You're naturally curious and always paying attention to what people are talking about online

• You're organized, detail-oriented, and eager to learn

• You're comfortable working across multiple projects and deadlines

• You're a strong communicator with solid writing and presentation skills

• You enjoy turning observations into insights and ideas

• You're collaborative, proactive, and excited to grow in strategy

Additional Requirements:

• 0-2 years of experience in marketing, social media, strategy, communications, or a related field

• Internship or experience in social media, influencer marketing, or advertising is a plus

• Familiarity with platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and emerging social platforms

• Interest in social listening, analytics, creators, and digital culture

• Experience with presentation tools like Google Slides or PowerPoint

• Experience with social listening or analytics tools is a bonus, but not required

• Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment
