In this role, you'll serve as a key partner between brand teams, insights teams, creative teams, media partners, and agency stakeholders.

Responsibilities:

- Ensure campaigns align with broader brand goals while providing clear direction for creative development
- Bring a strong understanding of social trends, cultural insights, and audience behavior to help inform creative recommendations
- Collaborate with brand and insights teams to evaluate opportunities for brand growth, campaign development, and brand evolution
- Support the development of brand frameworks, strategic presentations, campaign narratives, toolkits, and creative guidelines
- Facilitate conversations across multiple stakeholders and agency partners to ensure alignment and momentum
- Present strategic recommendations and confidently articulate the rationale behind creative and campaign approaches
- Help establish processes and best practices as the team continues to grow and evolve
Requirements:
- 7+ years of experience in brand strategy, creative strategy, account planning, communications planning, or a related discipline
- Experience working with consumer-facing brands; CPG experience is highly preferred
- Strong ability to translate brand strategy, research, and insights into compelling creative direction
- Experience developing creative briefs, campaign strategies, messaging frameworks, and strategic presentations
- Understanding of how brand, creative, social, and media strategies work together within an integrated marketing ecosystem
- Ability to navigate multiple stakeholders and build relationships across internal teams and agency partners
- Strong communication, storytelling, and presentation skills
- Comfortable operating in an evolving environment where collaboration and flexibility are essential
- Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
- Self-starter who can work independently while remaining highly collaborative
What Success Looks Like:
- You help brand teams and creatives stay aligned from strategy through execution.
- Marketing and brand objectives are translated into clear, inspiring creative briefs.
- Creative teams receive strategic guidance that helps them develop stronger, more effective work.
- Cross-functional partners see you as a trusted resource who can connect insights, strategy, media, and creative into a cohesive plan.
- Campaigns are grounded in brand strategy while remaining culturally relevant and creatively compelling.
