THAT’S WHY WE ARE LOOKING FOR A PASSIONATE SENIOR STRATEGIST

You’re hungry, ambitious, driven by the desire to make great work and get exited by working across very different categories and pieces of business. You’re ready to push the seniors, inspire the juniors, pick up slack from other strategists and uplift the creatives. You have built and honed your strategy skills in the past couple of years, held the first presentations in front of people with 3x your experience and delivered. You have a solid mental library of strategic tools and ways of thinking that you apply and evolve with ease. You’re always looking for the next project, the next topic to sink your teeth into. You don’t believe that ‘digital strategy’ is a thing.
