Orchestra is hiring: Creative Strategist, Influencer Marketing in Los Angeles

Creative Strategist, Influencer Marketing

Small Girls PR is growing and we are looking for a Creative Strategist to join our influencer marketing team working primarily with household-name beauty brands.

There is no one-size-fits-all for an SGPR client which means your career will be further enriched with meaningful and diversified experience.

We've taken on the main stage at CES, announced Esusu as one of the first Black-owned tech unicorns, cheered on the powerful women of the WNBA with a well known ticketing platform, helped pet owners communicate with their dogs through a psychic for Rover, and piloted influencer marketing programs for B2B brands.

This team concepted “Ring’s Great Ghost Search,” a lighthearted campaign calling on consumers to capture ghosts on their home cameras.

By enlisting Finn Wolfhard and an array of comedic influencers to participate, the campaign drove mass awareness and broad positive sentiment across earned media and social channels.

Note: This role can be based in either our NYC or LA office, working two days a week in the office on a hybrid schedule.
