Strategist

What if your next strategy role gave you the chance to shape campaigns for one of the world's most recognised financial brands... while working in a growing independent agency where your ideas genuinely influence the direction of the business?

If you're looking to move away from being one of many in a large agency and into a business where your thinking has real impact, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

We're partnering exclusively with a fast-growing independent digital communications agency with offices in London and New York.

They combine strategic thinking with exceptional creativity to deliver integrated campaigns for globally recognised brands across financial services, luxury lifestyle, travel and retail.

Despite their impressive client portfolio, they've retained the culture of an ambitious independent agency—collaborative, entrepreneurial, creative and refreshingly free from unnecessary hierarchy.

As they continue their international growth, they're looking for a Senior Strategist to become a key member of the team.

The Opportunity This is far more than a traditional strategy role.

You'll work across brand, communications and digital strategy, partnering with senior clients and creative teams to develop insight-led campaigns that solve real business challenges.

One day you could be uncovering audience insights for a global financial services campaign.

The next, shaping creative propositions for luxury lifestyle brands or contributing to new business pitches that help drive the agency's continued growth.

You'll work closely with senior leadership, have genuine influence over strategic direction and enjoy the kind of exposure that's often difficult to find in larger agencies.

You'll also bring: Experience developing integrated marketing and communications strategies Strong understanding of digital and social marketing Excellent storytelling and presentation skills Commercial awareness alongside strategic and creative thinking Confidence challenging ideas and influencing clients Curiosity, ambition and a collaborative mindset A genuine passion for creating work that delivers measurable results Most importantly, you're someone who enjoys getting stuck in, working closely with talented people and making a visible impact.
