The audio revolution is here – and iHeart is leading it!  iHeartMedia, the number one audio company in America, reaches 90% of Americans every month -- a monthly audience that’s twice the size of any other audio company – almost three times the size of the largest TV network – and almost 4 times the size of the largest ad-supported music streaming service.  In fact, we have:

• More #1 rated markets than the next two largest radio companies combined;

• We’re the largest podcast publisher, with more monthly downloads than the second- and third-largest podcast publishers combined. Podcasting, the fastest-growing new media, today has more monthly users than streaming music services or Netflix;

• iHeart is the home of many of the country’s most popular and trusted on-air personalities and podcast influencers, who build important connections with hundreds of communities across America;

• We create and produce some of the most popular and well-known branded live music events in America, including the iHeartRadio Music Festival, the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the iHeartCountry Festival, iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina and the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour;

• iHeartRadio is the #1 streaming radio digital service in America;

• Our social media footprint is 7 times larger than the next largest audio service; and

• We have the only complete audio ad technology stack in the industry for all forms of audio, from on demand to broadcast radio, digital streaming radio and podcasting, which bring data, targeting and attribution to all forms of audio at an unparalleled scale.  As a result, we’re able to combine our strong leadership position in audience reach, usage and ad tech with powerful tools and insights for our sales organizations to help them build success for their clients at a more efficient cost than any other option. 

Because we reach almost every community in America, we’re committed to providing a range of programming that reflects the diversity of the many communities we serve – and our company reflects that same kind of diversity.  Our company values stress collaboration, curiosity, welcoming dissent, accepting mistakes in the pursuit of new ideas, and respect for everyone.

Only one company in America has the #1 position in everything audio: iHeartMedia!

What We Need:

The Social Media Assistant for the Black Information Network will support the content team in growing engagement, strengthening brand recognition, and driving audience reach and revenue through impactful social storytelling. This role is ideal for creatives who are passionate about content creation and love finding new ways to tell compelling stories through social media.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, 24/7 news environment. While independence is key, being a team player is of the utmost importance—collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.

If making TikToks, brainstorming viral moments, and experimenting with creative storytelling excites you, this role offers plenty of space for fun and innovation.

At BIN, our mission is to inform and empower the Black community—so it’s essential that you’re tapped into Black culture, conversations, and current events. You should not only understand the significance of this role but also know how to engage and speak authentically to our audience in a way that’s impactful, respectful, and culturally resonant.
