The Role and What You'll Do:
First and foremost, you're serially curious; about brands, about people and the world around us. How all of it is changing and evolving. Simply put, you love to ask (and understand) why.
You're plugged into culture; interested, intrigued and inspired by the now and next. You appreciate the value of others. We don't expect you to know everything but to appreciate it's a team effort. It's the collective that gets us to bigger and better; that gets us to wow and have clients say, "I never thought of it this way before."
You always give a damn. About the client, the agency, the people and the work. Your job is to inspire and energize cr
eative teams, this comes from passion as much as it does from process.
Success in this role requires the intellectual curiosity to dig into cultural and category dynamics, the emotional intelligence to question and understand consumer behaviour and the collaborative spirit to work closely with internal creative, account, and project management teams. But above all else it requires the desire to learn and to stretch yourself and those you work with, clients and colleagues alike.
Intrigued?
Responsibilities:
This role is located within one of our "hub" offices, working into a Director of Strategy. As such responsibilities cover the following:
- Support - and sometimes lead - all aspects of the strategy process, from research and analysis to insight and creative brief development.
- Develop brand positionings, campaign briefs, comms plans, consumer journeys, and activation frameworks that guide creative execution.
- Present creative briefs and strategic solutions to internal and external audiences.
- Serve as a thought leader on client and category dynamics as well as emerging consumer and cultural trends.
- Partner with internal account and creative teams to ensure strategic alignment throughout projects.
- Assist with new business opportunities, as required.
We'd Love If You Also Have These:
Whether you're a loud force of nature or a quiet powerhouse, we don't care. But you must bring confidence and perspective to all you do.
- 4+ years of strategy experience at creative and/or specialist agencies (experiential/pr/digital, partnerships etc.).
- Experience with a variety of research tools and methodologies.
- Experience with focus groups and IDIs.
- Ability to translate research and data into meaningful insights that inspire big ideas.
- Solid understanding of the tools and frameworks that support brand, partnership, and cultural marketing strategy development.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to develop a clear, compelling POV that sells strategy (internally and externally).
- Good portfolio of proven strategies that inspire and instigate great work.
- Entrepreneurial spirit required to thrive in an exciting growing agency yet within the large, often complex and definitely atypical organization that is Endeavor.
- Passion for and/or multicultural agency experience is a plus.
- Bilingual is a plus.
- As for your qualifications, we care more about you, your attitude and approach than your school.
