Creative Strategist
Build the brands that define tomorrow.
We're looking for an exceptional Creative Strategist to lead the creation of brands that help our clients connect deeply with customers, accelerate business growth, and achieve category leadership.
You'll lead the strategic direction-setting for brands taking on generational challenges through innovation—from energy, circularity, and technology infrastructures, to human health, wellbeing, and social/cultural futures.
Your insights will shape high-value brand identities, digital experiences, narratives, and campaigns that result in unfair market advantage, accelerate growth, and can upend, change, or shape perceptions of entire categories.

Who You Are:
You see patterns at the intersections of culture, nature, technology, and society—and you recognize the future opportunities that emerge from them. You can translate complexity into clarity, turning business goals into brand strategies and insights into actionable guidance that moves great work forward.
You think both creatively and systemically about brand positioning, architecture, messaging, and narrative creation. With a point of view on humanity's future and emerging metatrends, you know how to help clients claim territory that their competitors can't even see. You love diving into detailed research, then zooming out to articulate thought-provoking big ideas that reframe conversations and categories.
You lead research and conduct stakeholder conversations to extract valuable perspectives and identify key signals amid the noise. You collaborate naturally with designers, are seen by clients as a true partner, and elevate every conversation you're leading. Above all, you're hardworking and intellectually curious—you believe great ideas are built from a unique perspective, creative rigor, and genuine interest in positive outcomes.
