A.B. Company, Inc. is Hiring a Director of Strategy Near New York, NY
A—B is the creative agency for IdentityPowered Design™. Our breakthrough insights, creative and campaigns help leaders in every sector transform how power works and who it works for. Black-owned, multiracial, and multi-gendered, we bring creativity and courage to help our partners lead the transition from colonialism and color blindness to a new standard of equity. If you’re ready to replace the culture of injustice with a culture worth living in, you’ve found your agency.
About YouYou are a seasoned strategist with a deep commitment to advancing progressive values and a comprehensive understanding of the American political landscape. Your experience includes political and/or advocacy campaigning, where you’ve mastered the art of crafting narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. Your curiosity about human nature drives you to create emotionally compelling messaging that motivates action.
With a strong background in both long-form and short-form copywriting, you excel in developing messaging frameworks, headlines, names, taglines, and ad copy. Your expertise in digital advertising and paid media management allows you to craft strategies that not only captivate audiences but also deliver measurable results.
Your experience in working in or closely with creative agencies has equipped you with the ability to work seamlessly across disciplines, collaborating closely with designers and other creatives to translate insights into impactful visual and written content. You are an excellent communicator, able to distill complex ideas into clear, actionable strategies. Your work in political or social impact settings has given you a nuanced understanding of how to craft messages that resonate in these spheres.
You are passionate about using data and research to gain insights into audience psychology, and you thrive in environments where you can apply these insights to deliver outstanding strategic work. You take pride in building and maintaining relationships with clients, helping to expand the agency's portfolio and influence. And you’d be excited to help grow the impact, stature and visibility of our award-winning, majority POC agency in a field that’s historically been highly segregated and sexist. Above all, you are a collaborative team player who understands the importance of consultation and communication in achieving success, and you are constantly seeking to learn, improve, and deliver greater value.
About The RoleAs the Director of Strategy, you will play a crucial leadership role within our agency, guiding the strategic direction of our projects and campaigns, and ensuring the successful execution of client engagements. You will oversee the entire lifecycle of client projects, from the discovery phase through to completion, ensuring that our strategies deliver actionable insights and drive impactful communication efforts.
You will be actively involved in client discovery, analyzing data, and delivering key insights that inform strategic messaging recommendations. Your ability to present and synthesize data for leaders in progressive politics, advocacy, and philanthropy will be essential.
While this role does not involve managing a team, you will work closely with our analysts, designers, and other team members to ensure that projects are executed effectively and efficiently. You will collaborate with the Head of Research, Chief Creative Officer, Project Managers, and other Directors and Senior Directors to refine systems and practices that support the scalability and efficiency of our client delivery process.
In addition to leading client projects, you will engage your network to help grow our portfolio of work. Drawing from social science, storytelling, organizing, and campaign principles, you will help shape the strategic backbone of our agency’s offerings. The role may also require you to support the new business cycle from time to time.
