Strategist - London, United Kingdom - Superunion

Description

About us:

At Design Bridge and Partners we believe design is the most powerful means of driving positive change. Whatever the business. Whatever the challenge. Because design answers the big questions. Reshaping how organisations behave and how people experience the world. So we're redefining what design is and what design can do for brands, businesses, people and planet.

We see design as the thread that unifies brand across strategy, identity, experience, and guardianship.

With 850 people in 12 countries, our clients include NASA Artemis, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Diageo, Mastercard, Intel, Mondelez, Tencent, HSBC, Colgate, Reckitt, Fortnum & Mason and the BBC.

Who we're looking for?:

We are hiring a Strategist to join our growing London team. Based out of our Rose Court studio.

We are looking for a creative thinker and doer.

Someone who can translate happenings in the world around them into meaningful insights, to help leading brands evolve and be a force for positive change.

Someone unafraid of new and radical ideas. The glue between Creative and Client Services. With restless intellectual curiosity. Able to combine analytical rigor, critical thinking, and creativity. Excited to unpack big challenges and help shape the future direction of the world's most-loved brands.


Main Responsibilities:

Run strategy development processes with the support of others, mastering best practice across the full spectrum of strategic projects, including positioning, naming, brand architecture, integrated communications planning, expression, and engagement.

You will lead the collation, organisation, and analysis of all project-related qualitative and quantitative intelligence, including client business and brand information, competitive landscape, customer research, analyst commentary and press coverage.

Your experience:

Already hold an in-depth understanding of brand and/or marketing strategy, with prior work experience in the industry (although not essential to come from a background in branding).

Ideally have experience working on large-scale research projects and developing thought leadership ideas and activations (but not essential).


Your skills:

You bring a mix of left
- and right-brain thinking: both strategic and creative and you are able to identify challenges and develop interesting, creative branding solutions. On the pulse with the latest thinking and trends in branding, brand successes, failures and industry business activity. A self-starter, keen to take initiative and work independently, who is diligent and can work at pace when the pressure is on. You find presenting and discussing strategic issues with clients exciting, not intimidating, and can work with creative and client leadership functions to provide the best outcomes for clients.


Why us?:

World-famous brands. National icons. Technology unicorns. Plucky upstarts no one's yet heard of.

You'll get to work on all of these, with a team of brilliant, optimistic people right by your side and scattered all across the world.

We're passionate about our people and their careers. We'll help you to develop your skills and provide you with outstanding benefits. So, you'll have a chance to make your mark on our future, as we make a mark on yours.

We will not accept unsolicited CVs or approaches via recruitment agencies.
