Are you a passionate content guru who loves turning great stories into scroll-stopping social, sharp copy and creative that actually performs? Come and work for our award-winning agency and help some of the world’s best tourism brands show up in bold, clever and compelling ways.

Maverick Tourism is a trailblazing marketing agency shaking up the way the tourism industry does business. Since 2014, we’ve made our mark across New Zealand, North America, Australia and the South Pacific, working with incredible brands including Hobbiton Movie Set, South Sea Cruises, GO Rentals, Polynesian Spa, Tourism Bay of Plenty and ZORB.

As our Content & Creative Specialist, you’ll help manage social channels, craft Google-friendly content, create sharp copy, support video-first creative production and bring tourism stories to life across digital platforms. One day you might be writing an Instagram caption, the next you might be building website content, designing social tiles, editing a reel or shaping a fresh creative angle for a campaign.

You’ll be part of a talented, people-first team that celebrates success, supports each other and genuinely loves what we do. Working within our Client Services team, you’ll thrive in the fast pace of agency life, confidently juggle multiple priorities and happily get stuck into creative work for awesome tourism brands.
