Brand Strategist | AI-Powered Growth Agency | Up to £45,000 + industry leading bonus ?

Want to work on brand challenges that actually make your brain fizz? This role blends culture, creativity, and strategy in a studio built for people who don’t fit the mould.

This is an opportunity to work on briefs that shape brands — not just sell them — with the freedom to bring your perspective, creativity, and curiosity to the table.

?The Company

Our client is a strategy studio built for a changing world. They combine AI-powered cultural insight with sharp brand thinking to help clients — from beauty to tech — unlock their full potential. With a team spread across three continents, they collaborate on future-facing work that blends brand strategy, innovation, and marketing transformation.

? The Day-to-Day

• Collaborate on briefs like “How can Axe become relevant to the next generation of men?” or “What’s JBL’s next brand move?”
• Apply tools like brand architecture, positioning frameworks, tone of voice and cultural trend analysis.
• Work closely with a senior team and AI tools to surface and shape insights into strategic narratives.
• Stretch into upstream thinking while still seeing your work out in the world.

? The Ideal Candidate

• You’re probably early in your strategy career — maybe you’ve worked at a creative agency, brand consultancy, or client-side in a hybrid role.
• You’ve done solid brand work and now want more space to think upstream.
• You’re comfortable toggling between big cultural questions and the practical reality of brand assets and marketing plans.
• You’ve touched brand trees, purpose, and activation — and want to learn how to lead on them.
• Maybe you’ve admired places like Interbrand or Landor but want something smaller, more agile, and innovative.

If you’re curious, collaborative, and a little bit rebellious — this could be your next big move.
