Job description

Brand Strategist, with 5+ years' agency experience, a passion for arts, culture, museums, strategic placemaking, and learning experiences. This is a design and brand consultancy known for creative, crafted design that delivers excellent results and enhances user experience.

The ideal candidate has experience in areas such as culture, internal culture, placemaking, and translating business strategy into brand strategy. EMEA experience is a significant bonus.

This consultancy fosters a no-ego, friendly, warm, and collaborative culture, working mainly with global brands in the cultural sector—dealing with knowledge exchange rather than goods. Their work includes placemaking, collaborations with renowned cultural institutions, higher education, and more. They leverage their deep cultural and community focus to serve large corporations and government departments in defining brand and business strategies.

The role of the Strategist is to be a mastermind of creativity and innovation with strong strategic thinking skills. Located near Shoreditch, London, they are passionate about creating experiences that resonate on a profound level, working with startups and established brands across arts, culture, museums, lifestyle, beauty, and destination sectors.

As a Strategist, you will collaborate with two other strategists and a talented team of designers, copywriters, and project managers. Your responsibilities include conducting market research, translating insights into creative briefs, leading ideation sessions, and presenting strategic recommendations confidently. Your expertise in brand narratives and positioning strategies will be vital.

The team is small (20 people), ambitious, curious, and entrepreneurial. They work on a hybrid model, spending three days in their inspiring studio—an environment that hosts talks and events—offering an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact.
