PROXY is a new media and art platform initiated by Provoke, exploring the forces shaping contemporary life: culture, society, technology, power and nature. Moving between editorial, social media, film, music, art and physical experiences, PROXY looks at what is happening in the world — and what it could mean for the future.

We're looking for a sharp, culturally curious maker to help build the platform from the ground up. You're not only a writer, editor or content creator. You're a social-first creative producer who can move between research, writing, formats, shoots and edits — someone who doesn't wait to be told what's interesting, but actively helps define what PROXY could become.

You work closely with our strategy, creative and leadership teams to research topics, develop formats, and shape PROXY's ideas into work that is relevant, original and worth

reading, watching and sharing.

Who We Are

Provoke is a creative research laboratory and production house based in Amsterdam. We work at the intersection of sport, fashion, media, music, entertainment and the communities shaping culture today.For more than a decade, we have studied culture from the inside. Across 36+ cities in Europe and beyond, we have researched how young people move, think, dress, connect, create, and consume. That research is the foundation of everything we do. It helps us understand not just what is happening, but why it is happening, and where culture is heading next.

Through Provoke, we turn that cultural understanding into strategy, activations, campaigns, publications and productions for brands and institutions, including FIFA, Nike, Snipes, Alpha Industries, Amazon Prime, Puma, CAF and Ziggo. We value doers over talkers. Execution over promise. Action over fluff. If you care about culture, understand the speed of change and want to help turn sharp ideas into work worth reading and watching, you will feel right at home at Provoke.
