Senior Strategist

We are looking for a Senior Strategist to join our growing strategy team. This is a team of brand thinkers with a deep passion for social because it’s where culture and audience insights take off. 

This is a client facing role for someone who lives to solve business problems through collaboration. Creative briefs are their love language and slides make them happy.
