STRATEGIST

Results-seeker

People complain you ask too many questions, but you’ve always been driven to understand the why’s of life. Data and research are part of your make up. Curiosity and resourcefulness course through your veins. Excited about the possibilities of big and small data, tech and creative ideas, you’re ready to take your early planning experience and apply it in a results-driven, thinking-centric environment.

You’ll have the opportunity to apply your critical analysis skills across a range of accounts in Automotive, Beauty, Finance and Alcohol amongst others, delivering campaigns across multiple channels. With a focus on digital, the challenges span full customer journeys across both acquisition and retention and always evidence based.

Working closely with a Senior Strategist you’ll respond to briefs with thoughtful, insightful strategic thinking – always ensuring that campaigns will drive measurable outcomes for clients. You’ll ensure that strategies are translated through to smart briefs, and collaborate with a delivery manager to deliver on-time, on-budget work. You’ll also focus on the building strong client relationships, positioning the agency as a trusted and valued partner.

We’re a bunch of serious thinkers dedicated to creating unmatched business outcomes for our clients. We love challenging ourselves each day, finishing mentally tired but totally satisfied we contributed to something meaningful. Go home, disconnect, play and come back for another round. Proudly independent, we are an AFR Best Places to Work as well as one of the most effectiveness awarded agencies on the planet. We’re looking for another Bright Spark to help us deliver more brilliant Outcomes.
