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.

  • 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 $120,000.00. 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.
