Associate Director, Strategy

Kansas City MO United States Tbwa ChiatDay Inc Full time
You connect insight to idea.

Obscure culture into specific opportunity. Data points into brand action. Disparate signals into a path forward.

You lead.

You are the “hub” of all strategic activity within the agency, partnering closely with creative, account, media, social, and innovation teams. You inspire, guide, and lobby for the right idea – for the brand, for the business, for the humans.

You work high and low.

You must execute high-level brand strategy and day-to-day planning. You must have foresight and be in the weeds. You must love writing a clear, succinct product brief, then jumping to an overarching brand challenge, all before your second cup of coffee.

You push the thinking.

You see past the noise to find the more human idea. You ask better questions. You get messy and deep into a creative idea to make it come to life. You persuade internal teams and the client to make the brave idea happen. You love great advertising. But you push for the business idea that makes for great advertising.

You’re a person of action.

You’re not interested in sitting in your own head, deciphering cultural radio static. You understand a large worldview, but you can quickly get to the practical. You operate in real time, quick, lean, and collaborative. You’re responsible for generating a product that is thoughtful, yet wholly relatable.
