Digital Content Creator

We’re an agency that is ambitious about great work and our people, without taking ourselves too seriously.

At Sprocket, your career won’t stand still. You’ll have a structured development plan, clear progression opportunities and regular feedback to help you build your skills, responsibilities and earning potential. And when you go above and beyond, we make sure it’s recognised and rewarded.

We believe great work happens when people enjoy where they work. That means quarterly team away days, Friday WFH, a well-stocked drinks fridge and free parking right outside the office (a surprisingly good perk in Auckland!).

Most importantly, you’ll join an independent, growing digital agency where you’ll have autonomy, responsibility and a genuine voice in how we do things.

If you’re ambitious, talented and looking for somewhere you can make an impact while progressing your career, Sprocket could be your next move.

A little bit about the role:

This is a great opportunity for an up and coming creative who has the foundations in place and is looking to improve their skills and take it to the next level.

You will work closely with the Lead Digital Content Creator and the wider team, getting hands-on across ad creative, social content, photo and video shoots, and marketing automation within Klaviyo. You will help to produce content that delivers measurable results for multiple clients.

We are looking for someone who is curious, creative, and keen to understand not just what looks good, but also what works. You’ll bring ideas to life, help solve problems, and turn feedback and performance data into better creative.

This role is designed to help develop your career. You’ll have the support, mentoring and hand-on experience to build your design, video and strategic thinking skills and your client-facing confidence, with a clear pathway to taking on greater ownership as you grow.

As a Content Creator, you will be responsible for:

• Designing ad creatives for Meta, Google Display, Programmatic, YouTube, LinkedIn and other platforms, adapting each to platform specs and client brand guidelines.
• Producing creative variations to support A/B testing and campaign optimisation alongside the Paid Media/Tech Team.
• Shooting and editing photos and videos using Sprocket's camera gear, including short-form social video with basic animation, text overlays, captions and music, and keeping our asset library organised.
• Assisting with content shoots for clients and Sprocket,from planning, moodboards and storyboards through to event coverage and occasional e-commerce product photography.
• Writing creative copy for ad overlays (the copy included in the creative itself) and for email campaigns.
• Designing and building email campaigns and templates in Klaviyo, assisting with flow builds and optimisations and monitoring email performance.
• Generating monthly client reports that track progress against agreed KPIs.
• Creating Sprocket brand marketing assets, such as organic social content for Meta, Instagram and LinkedIn, website banners, and potentially TikTok as we explore the platform.
• Designing internal collateral such as presentations, calendars and brochures.
• Supporting website design projects as needed, from research and wireframes through to full design.
• Collaborating with the Paid Media/Tech Team, SEO Team and Digital Strategists to align creative with client goals, and occasionally joining client meetings to talk through concepts and strategy.
• Joining weekly creative team meetings and account catch-ups, and managing your daily and weekly workload effectively.
• Staying current with platform ad specs, design and social trends, and sharing learnings with the team.

Key requirements:

• Post-secondary in Photography, Graphic Design or equivalent experience (Diploma or Degree), or equivalent experience. Recent graduates are welcome, and internship or freelance experience is a plus.
• A portfolio showing graphic design, social and ad creative, and photo or video work.
• Confident with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects), with Canva and Figma a bonus.
• Hands-on photography and videography skills, including lighting, editing and colour grading, and the willingness to learn our camera gear.
• A good understanding of social media best practices, including strong call to action, headlines and content that engages.
• Clear communication and strong writing skills for creative and email copy, good time management and attention to detail across multiple clients and deadlines.
• No Klaviyo experience needed, just a willingness to learn. Experience with another email platform is a plus.
