About the role:

Our partner agency, Inside Ideas, is looking for an Associate Director of Strategy to join our team moving at the speed of culture working on multinational beverage brands.

In this role, you will be dedicated to building brands on solid strategic foundations, using the media available to meet specific client goals. You should be able to lead brand strategy work for new and existing brands within a large portfolio and have strong working relationships and other key capabilities including creative and insights. You will pull together strategic reports on ad hoc topics for C-suite clients, using data from Brandwatch and other social listening tools to back up your findings.

We need a strategic thinker who is as comfortable putting together comms frameworks and content ecosystems as writing quick turnaround briefs for reactive opportunities. You should enjoy working with creatives and be able to guide social analysts to produce thorough but digestible reports. Most of all, you need to be quick thinking and able to work with a multi-talented team across a range of exciting but demanding clients. It is important that you approach work with a representative, authentic, and nuanced lens to accurately and progressively reach and portray diverse consumers across the globe.

What you will be doing:
  • Guiding and developing brand strategy
  • Creating 360-degree comms frameworks
  • Writing social playbooks
  • Ad hoc reporting for C-suite clients
  • Managing the reporting and social listening coming from our team of community managers
  • Collaborating closely with creative teams on content and social strategy
  • Coming to clients with proactive new ideas and approaches
  • Working with media teams from the client and other agencies
  • Providing thought leadership on best practices and trends in digital and social
  • Conducting primary and secondary audience research for data and insights
  • Turning research into thoughtful, streamlined, structured stories that set up strategies and creative ideas
What you need to be great in this role:
  • 7+ years of experience as a Strategist
  • 5+ years of advertising agency experience
  • Knowledge of BrandWatch and social listening tools and 4+ years of experience working in those listening tools
  • 3-5 years of experience managing projects and working with account and creative teams
  • Degree in related field or equivalent
  • Experience presenting to and reporting for key stakeholders
  • Must be entrepreneurial in mindset and have the ability to understand people’s needs, identify opportunities, and build relationships with stakeholders to act on them
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
  • Energetic and highly proactive
  • Outstanding communication and written skills
  • At the time of this posting, the base salary for this position may range from $105,000.00 to $125,000.00. Individual compensation varies based on job related factors, including location, business needs, level of responsibility, experience, and qualifications. The range listed is just one component of the total compensation package.
