Director Of Creative Strategy

Salary : $150-170k

Location : New York

We are the originators of influencer marketing. Influencer is an agency built at the intersection of creativity, data, and technology with a unique 'people power & platform power' approach. From big brand launches to shifting perceptions and from riding fast trends to driving footfall, we build ideas with impact to deliver outcomes that drive your business forward via an unmatched client experience.

Campaigns are underpinned by Influencer's game-changing proprietary technologies, which are supercharged by official partnerships and data integrations with the world's leading social platforms for real-time and accurate reporting.

Founded by OG YouTube creator Caspar Lee & entrepreneur Ben Jeffries, Influencer has been helping brands navigate the ever-evolving influencer marketing landscape since 2015. In that time they have developed valuable knowledge, experience, and technology that have enabled them to deliver thousands of campaigns, for hundreds of brands in markets across the world. Today, Influencer has a team of 170+ of the best talent in the industry, working across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. From Google to Coca-Cola, from Amazon to Microsoft, and from TikTok to Meta - they work with companies, brands, and agencies across every vertical, building meaningful relationships between brands, creators, and their audiences.
