Job Introduction
The Strategy team are looking for an ambitious Senior Strategist ready for a step up or a Strategy Director who is craving more responsibility. We are a diverse team of award winning brand builders, planners, strategists and analysts who are looking for someone who is equally as passionate as us. We are curious, outspoken and ambitious in our pursuit of outstanding work. We are looking for a natural collaborator who can work with our team to develop world class creative and deliver business results for our clients.
Role Responsibility
• Leading the Strategic and Creative Development process across a broad suite of client accounts.
• Mentoring, teaching and growing junior talent on the Strategy Team and across the broader agency.
• Driving business development - both new and organic through pitch support.
• Representing the agency at events, awards, in the press and online.
The Ideal Candidate
• A folio of work that demonstrates an ability to comfortably lead and guide the creative process. Experience working closely with ECDs and CDs in an open and collaborative way; the lines are often blurred between mcgarrybowen’s Strategy and Creative teams.
• Fantastic writing. Not only for briefs and decks but we also want someone who can lead on award papers and thought leadership pieces.
• Hungry. For better work, more responsibility and new challenges.
• Decency. We love people who have passion, but aren’t egomaniacs or glory hogs.
• Interested in personal growth, for themselves and the team around them. A desire to teach, mentor and help grow the best and brightest.
• Ideally, we’d like someone that has a solid foundation of brand planning but also has an extra string to their bow, be it comms planning, content, data or a solid cultural understanding. We want to build a diverse, opinionated and knowledgeable group of thinkers.
Package Description
Market Competitive salary plus a full package of benefits, please see below.
About the Company
The Agency:
From the beginning, mcgarrybowen was built differently, on the simple premise that clients deserve better. So we built a company committed to delivering just that. A company that believes, with every fiber of its being, that it exists to serve clients, build brands, and grow businesses.
mcgarrybowen is a creative communications agency. We don’t believe in brands here. We have bigger and bolder ambitions for the clients we work with. Anything and everything is a brand these days, even own-label. We aim to create icons.
We were founded in New York in 2002 and today we have offices in Chicago, London, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. We are 60 people in London delivering fully integrated campaigns – from global TV advertising to local, social media content. Our strategic strength combined with creative excellence has helped launch, re-invigorate and re-position businesses including Honda, Branston and Sky Bet.
The Benefits:
We are part of the Dentsu Aegis Network of agencies so you get the perks of being part of a small creative shop while reaping the benefits of a much larger organisation. We offer everything you would expect a global company to provide including competitive pension plans, income protection, life assurance, critical illness cover, child care vouchers – all the stuff that might seem a touch boring but comes in very handy when you start looking at things like buying a house…
