Job Description

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Strategist to join our growing strategy team. This is a team of brand thinkers with a deep passion for social because it’s where culture and audience insights take off.

This is a client facing role for someone who lives to solve business problems through collaboration. Creative briefs are their love language and slides make them happy.

WE ARE

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing.

We call it Ideas Worth Talking About, and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

  • We like to laugh, we live for celeb gossip and we’re great on AUX.
  • Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more!
  • You best believe we know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it’s how we learn).
  • From carbon offsets to community kitchens, we’re passionate about making a difference.
  • Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks. (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked.)

YOU ARE

  • A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
  • Not interested in just following trends you want to create them
  • A self-starter, who’ll take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro

Traditional agency experience is not required, but it’s a plus. What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with social audiences.

This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you’ll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and cultural moments.

In return, you’ll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world’s leading brands.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Turn business problems into strategies that inspire Ideas Worth Talking About
  • Partner closely with with Research and Insights, Culture Comms and Creative to define how a brand shows up and wins in culture
  • Lead quick-turn research to unlock competitive, category and audience insights
  • Develop social content and channel strategies to turn big ideas into executionally excellent tactics
  • Develop creator strategies in partnership with Influencer team
  • Keep up with key industry trends and social platform updates with passion and curiosity
  • Contribute to the management and mentorship of junior team members

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE

  • A passion for sports culture and fandom on the internet is preferred
  • 5+ years previous creative agency experience in a strategic role
  • A passion for simplifying complex problems into clear and compelling POVs
  • Ability to work on strategic responses to client briefs with minimal oversight
  • Ability to elevate thinking beyond tactics to bigger, bolder ways in
  • Ability to translate research and data into meaningful insights
  • Proficiency in research and social listening tools
