Strategists at Born Social, are those who get their kicks from the thinking over the doing. Those who have a deep understanding of how social platforms work and how brands can drive tangible value from them. Those who actually get excited by a killer deck - and understand how to best present it to senior client teams. You’ll pore over the brief, dissect the problem and identify the opportunity - creating a social strategy with effectiveness right at its core. You’ll then be responsible for working with the Account Team, ensuring it gets delivered as intended, being an integral part of client conversations and stakeholder management. You’ll get a chance to develop the strategy team by onboarding and leading strategists and supporting team-wide initiatives, develop and uphold the level of social-first strategy in the agency.
You’ll report to a Strategy Director, but take total responsibility for your projects. We don’t specialise in any particular sector, meaning any given brief presents completely new challenges and opportunities.
