    • Coming to clients with proactive new ideas and approaches
    • Working with media teams from the client and other agencies
    • Providing thought leadership on best practices and trends in digital and social
    • Conducting primary and secondary audience research for data and insights
    • Turning research into thoughtful, streamlined, structured stories that set up strategies and creative ideas
    What you need to be great in this role:
    • 7+ years of experience as a Strategist
    • 5+ years of advertising agency experience
    • Knowledge of BrandWatch and social listening tools and 4+ years of experience working in those listening tools
    • 3-5 years of experience managing projects and working with account and creative teams
    • Degree in related field or equivalent
    • Experience presenting to and reporting for key stakeholders
    • Must be entrepreneurial in mindset and have the ability to understand people's needs, identify opportunities, and build relationships with stakeholders to act on them
    • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
    • Energetic and highly proactive
    • Outstanding communication and written skills
    • At the time of this posting, the base salary for this position may range from $105,000.00 to $120,000.00. Individual compensation varies based on job related factors, including location, business needs, level of responsibility, experience, and qualifications.
