Creative Edit Lead
About Uncovered:
Uncovered is a London based social first creative agency founded in 2017.
Social sits at the heart of everything that we do.
From strategy to production, our team is fluent in social language with a deep understanding of the online audience. Working with a diverse set of brands to understand their distinct identity and objectives, we apply social-first fundamentals for success: real world, real people, video-first.
We create at the speed of social; strategising, ideating, designing, and producing through our team of in-house strategists, creatives, art directors, copywriters, producers, editors, and videographers. We test, learn, and iterate in real time, delivering end-to-end solutions from creative strategy, through to reporting and analytics.
Our Uncovered office is a home to learn, grow and make a difference.
