SEEKING: Hybrid-strategist, storyteller and experience orchestrator

We need an analytical thinker who is able to break down complex sets of information, sift through the noise to identify patterns or themes and then map out the best path forward in order to achieve business objectives.

Whether partnering closely with brand planning to develop comms plans, briefing and inspiring creatives, drawing insights from past performance with analytics and identifying niche paid channel opportunities with media, you can easily flex from creative to analytically-minded tasks. You not only enact big picture thinking, but you delve into the details becoming the critical bridge between strategy and execution.
