Chatter - New Contact is created on Account

I need a chatter feed on account whenever a new contact is created for an account. Can i do this using OOTB?

Currently you can't create object specific chatter post using Process builder. Here is the simple trigger code, which will create chatter post on Account record, when new contact record is created
  
trigger chatterPostonAccount on Contact(After insert){
 List<FeedItem> posts = new List<FeedItem>();
 for(Contact con: Trigger.New){
    if(con.AccountId != null){
        FeedItem post = new FeedItem();
        Post.ParentId = con.AccountId;
        post.body = 'New contact created';
        posts.add(post);
    }
 }
 insert posts;
}
