Job description

Fast Horse, an award-winning, creative communications agency, is seeking a talented, social media-loving visionary who is an incessant cultural sponge and non-stop creative thinker. You turn emerging trends into game-changing creative opportunities that get attention and engagement-all harnessing the power of owned social media across existing channels and evolving ones.

You bring contagious optimism to any assignment and are never short on bringing disruptive ideas to the table-and inspire others to do the same. You excel at blank-slate ideating, building off team ideas and spotting current trends, quickly turning them into above-the-bar creative content. You can lead the team's creative vision and thrive when creative briefs are more in tune with the ever-changing internet and cultural trends than classic marketing case studies. Your creativity extends beyond the office and you have a natural inclination to bring your non-stop curiosity to life through social content.

Egoless and collaborative, your leadership approach meshes well with all types of disciplines-from team members and internal agency disciplines to clients and in-house agency partners. No matter who is around the table, you lean in and are comfortable architecting ideas that drive results for our clients. What's more, you can confidently and successfully communicate them to the room. Resilience to crack the toughest creative codes is a must.

Other experiences that are a plus:

  • Recognition from award shows is great. Work that has generated massive cultural talk or social value, even better.
  • 5-8+ years experience in a creative-driven environment.
  • A portfolio or background that demonstrates versatility across a number of industries; with an emphasis on social media.
  • An appreciation for craft-be it PR, storytelling, copy, art or more. Or all of the above.
  • Experience at a creative, media or PR agency/in-house agency. Or similar.

Our proposition is built to unlock maximum value for our clients and potential in our people. No working in silos or fighting for a seat at the table. No competing interests or incentives. One office designed for integrated teams, not individual departments. Ideas come from everyone and they are optimized for earned, shared, owned and paid media from the outset. To that end, successful candidates must have the ability and desire to work closely with integrated team leads, strategy, social, influencer, and other disciplines to conceive campaigns and flawlessly bring them to life.


Beyond the client work, ideal candidates will:

  • Contribute to a culture and environment that fosters professional and personal growth for all employees.
  • Bring a can-do, problem-solving attitude to the table that welcomes challenges.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment with an ability to prioritize projects to meet aggressive deadlines.


Workplace/Compensation

Our workplace and culture give our people the flexibility and resources to thrive personally and professionally. Our award-winning headquarters in the Minneapolis North Loop neighborhood is set up to facilitate communication and collaboration and our team members are untethered by a designated office or desk.


We offer highly competitive salaries and industry leading benefits, including uncapped PTO, paid sabbaticals, amazing parental and family leave policies, and a variety of annual allowances and perks that allow employees to find better balance in their lives.
