You are intrigued by what inspires action and seek to understand how people think. Empathy is an unlock, and you welcome diverse perspectives to help guide your point of view.

You take a step back from assignments to ground in the bigger questions. What makes this fandom tick? What role does our brand play here? How does this property show up in culture? All in the pursuit of new insights that lead to powerful creative.

You’re a passionate storyteller who is comfortable working across mediums. You care how something is communicated, not just what.

The job will have you working with creatives, account leads, technologists, and an expanded strategy division. You can’t help but rally people around the work and create a collaborative creative atmosphere.

THE WORK YOU'LL DO

• Assist in the creative briefing process, transforming research into a constant stream of inspiration, insights, and thought starters for the creative team.
• Collaborate with an expanded team (client and account) to distill assignments into strong creative briefs and sell-in creative strategies and positionings.
• Be resourceful in leveraging existing syndicated or desk research to fortify and inspire the creative process
• Collect and catalog data and insights, turning research into reports that inspire internal teams and are shared externally as thought leadership
• Create consumer journeys along with brand positioning, identity, and messaging architectures
