About Retrokid
Retrokid creates officially licensed apparel, collectibles, and experiences inspired by the cartoons, TV shows, toys, games, and pop culture moments that defined our childhoods.
From limited-edition product drops to collaborations with some of entertainment's most beloved brands, we're in the business of creating products that spark nostalgia and help people reconnect with the moments they grew up with.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a highly creative Content Creator & Brand Storyteller to help bring the Retrokid brand to life through photography, videography, design, social media, and compelling storytelling.
About The Role
This is a hands-on creative role for someone who loves creating content, telling stories, building communities, and growing brands.
You'll work closely with our creative, marketing, product, and operations teams to create, publish, and optimize content that supports product launches, social media growth, paid advertising, email marketing, brand partnerships, events, and community engagement.
One day you may be photographing a new collection, the next editing TikToks, designing campaign assets, planning content for an upcoming launch, or documenting the excitement surrounding a major drop. We're looking for someone who can combine strong creative instincts with excellent execution while helping shape the future of one of Canada's fastest-growing nostalgia and pop culture brands. This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts creator, designer, and social media strategist.
