Video Editor (m/f/d)

Who we are

Mawave – Europe’s leader in social media outcomes – translates consumer brands into social media. As the social-first agency behind brands like E.ON, Jack Wolfskin, and ATU, Mawave manages nearly 200 million euros in ad spend, the largest social media budget of any independent agency in Europe.

The secret to the success of our 170+ social natives lies in their deep understanding of social media and their innovative use of it beyond traditional formulas: through the full re-integration of media, creative, and production craftsmanship. Through agile “always-on” approaches instead of classic campaign thinking. Through data-driven optimization instead of hoping for virality – consistently managed and measured against client-relevant business goals along the marketing funnel.
