Conversation & Community

If you’re reading this in 2020, it’s highly likely that you’re one of the 6 million Ghanaians liking, sharing, following, tweeting, shopping or simply looking online. We exist as an agency to make sure brands are part of this digital revolution and be the first reactors to whatever is going on. Whether it’s responding to a global pandemic or watching a live award show with the rest of the world – we have something to say!

culture

We work hard to play harder! Agency life can sometimes get a bit crazy so our exciting culture is one of the main reasons we stay sane. Whether it’s staff games, our changing playlists or a change of scenery, the idea of fun is always incorporated in our day-to-day. PS – if you think you’re good at FIFA, prepare to be humbled.

clan

Because we spend umpteen hours a day together, Social Ghana is very much like a family. We support each other on and off the court, celebrate special days and help each other grow.

creativity

Social Ghanaians are known for their atypical minds and unconventional, viral-creating thought patterns. The one thing we all have in common is that we’re creatives-at-heart and every single day we challenge ourselves to convince, create and connect.

classroom

We don’t just grow brands; we grow people too. Whether you join us at entry level or with years of experience, be ready to learn hard, fast and daily! As we maneuver through the dynamic world of digital marketing, our learning curve is never flat. There is always a deliberate effort to teach, to create learning environments, to ask questions, answer questions or question questions. Anyone can be next to teach something new.

celebration

If you follow us on Instagram, you might think that all we do is party. You’re almost right – we work hard but we also subscribe to the idea of always putting the fun in function. Whether it’s happy hour or an annual Christmas party, we always mix creativity and laughter with our drinks. Bottoms up!

I did a four-month internship with Social Ghana as part of my studies after I discovered the agency by chance on Instagram. Just from their Instagram, I knew that this is going to be a great place to work and get an insight into the Ghanaian advertising industry. Little did I know that this agency would provide me with the best internship experience I could ever have imagined. The size of the team made it easy to get to know everyone very quickly. As they are an open-minded and friendly bunch of people, it was easy to create positive relationships - although I am not sure if it was me or my cakes they loved... Working at Social Ghana is more like meeting friends than going to work. Having a good connection to everyone made it easy to speak up and give suggestions which were listened to and if it fit the bill, put into action. I enjoyed working with the team, and I am happy to say that everyone I met at Social Ghana is now at least a good friend of mine.

Interning at Social Ghana was the launchpad for my agency career track. I was given the autonomy to bring forth innovative ideas, manage client social media accounts, and support initiatives across all media types for campaigns of varying scale. My favorite aspect of working at Social Ghana was the culture. My colleagues became my great friends and we all had a work hard, play hard spirit! It was an unforgettable experience of growth and opportunity.

Do you remember on the first day of school when you walked into homeroom and saw all your close friends and you would say to yourself "Lawddd this class finna be lit!"? Yep - that's the feeling I got when I walked into SG HQ on my first day. It immediately felt like family. The culture is what I miss the most and I continue to look for in other jobs but nothing compares to SG! It's a place where your creativity is pushed; you're forced to challenge yourself because "mediocre" wasn't in our vocabulary. But what I will always cherish is the teamwork. Starting and completing tasks with like-minded people (turned family) who have the drive to turn ideas into full blown successful campaigns for some of the biggest brands on the globe. You will learn, grow and meet some amazing creatives will always have an impact on your career.
