About Us

We are Built to Connect.

At Cheil Worldwide, we create connected experiences that move people with work that’s bold enough to stand out, clear enough to be understood, and enduring enough to be remembered. Born from technology and built from one of the world’s largest tech ecosystems, we move with innovation, not after it.

Today, brands exist in a constant stream of interactions, where every moment is an opportunity to connect…or be ignored. That’s why we design connected experiences across online, offline and emerging touchpoints, blending data, insights, creativity, and technology to build what’s next, not just respond to what’s now.

Our approach integrates experiential with data-driven, creatively led marketing, grounded in cultural relevance and built to grow brands.

Cheil USA serves as the lead agency for Samsung. And while Samsung remains a key partner, our work extends across a growing portfolio of globally recognized brands. Powered by a team of 200+ creative problem-solvers, we thrive on pushing boundaries and redefining how brands engage with people.

We are looking for people who chase the Never Been Done Before. Curious thinkers. Driven doers.

We Create Connected experiences that matter.

Strategy at Cheil is for those who believe it's still important to make a stir. To push for strategic thinking that generates excitement but also causes some noticeable commotion along the way. It's your confidence operating in that safe discomfort that generates breakthrough ideas, and builds modern, resilient brands along the way.

You are provocative. Big thinking. Challenger of assumptions. Unmistakable and irreplicable in a room.

Formulas are your enemy. Dull work makes you ill. You have the courage to interrogate safe thinking and conviction to follow through.

What You'll Do

Lead Strategic Vision

• Define and champion brand, communications, and campaign strategies that connect business objectives to human insight.
• Translate complex market, consumer, and cultural dynamics into clear strategic direction.
• Develop strategic frameworks, positioning recommendations, audience segmentation models, and messaging architectures that guide business and creative decisions.
• Ensure strategic rigor across the full lifecycle of work from discovery and research through execution, optimization, and measurement.

Influence Clients

• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior client stakeholders.
• Facilitate discussions that help clients identify opportunities, navigate ambiguity, and make informed decisions.
• Deliver compelling presentations that build confidence, inspire action, and strengthen agency partnerships.
• Develop thought leadership and POVs that position the agency as a strategic partner rather than a tactical vendor.

Inspire Creative Excellence

• Partner closely with creative leadership to unlock breakthrough ideas grounded in human insight.
• Develop inspiring briefs that spark innovative and effective creative solutions.
• Champion work that balances cultural relevance, business impact, and creative ambition.
• Help teams connect emerging consumer behaviors, technology trends, and cultural shifts to meaningful creative opportunities.

Contribute to the Strategy Practice

• Mentor junior team members through feedback, coaching, and day-to-day collaboration.
• Contribute to the evolution of strategic frameworks, tools, and best practices.
• Champion curiosity and a culture of learning across the team.
• Help elevate the quality of strategic thinking through strong work, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

Help Drive Agency Growth

• Play a role in new business opportunities, including RFP responses, pitch development, and presentations.

• Assist with the optimization of the strategy discipline, processes, and tools that support agency growth and effectiveness.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in brand strategy, account planning, social strategy, or communications strategy within leading advertising, marketing, or consulting environments.

• Exceptional storytelling and facilitation skills.
• Highly proficient in developing and delivering presentations.
• A collaborative style with the ability to inspire cross-functional teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Communications, Psychology, Sociology, Business, Journalism, Liberal Arts, or a related field preferred

Why Join Us

• Lead strategy for globally recognized brands.
• Shape award-winning work that influences culture and drives business growth.
• Partner with talented creatives, technologists, and innovators.
• Help define the future of strategy within a growing agency.
