Job Description
The Role: The brand team is expanding and we’re looking for a Brand Strategist who is a self-starter with at least 15+ years of in-house agency or ad agency experience in brand communications and marketing. Brand lovers who believe in the power of brand, evangelists who can tell stories and inspire others to sing from the same brand song sheet, this person will work closely with the senior brand strategist to create powerful B2B2C programs and initiatives.
First and foremost, the person must be a great simplifier. Our organization will become better communicators of our brand promise with this person boiling vast amounts of information down to simple, insightful reductionist nuggets every day.
This person should also be an evangelist—helping to educate our entire company on the “What, why and how” of an iconic brand. What does a great brand look like, why it has huge impact in driving business results, and how every person, every interaction, every email, every handshake is part of creating our brand.
Required skills: the ability to
- synthesize complex notions quickly
- write clear, single-minded briefs
- work with and inspire creative partners
- drive projects through from start through to completion
- prioritize and work across multiple initiatives
- take an outside-in perspective, i.e., what is happening in the world and how does our brand fit into people’s lives
- be a unifier who helps evangelize brand across the organization
- find target audience insights, patterns and trends that are fresh, new
- communicate, write, present in clear and compelling ways
Experience in any of the following is a plus:
- quantitative research, data collection, data analysis
- qualitative research/focus groups, in-depth interviews
- digital engagement strategy, customer journey
- B2B marketing and communications
- enhanced desktop skills (presentations, data collection, social, etc.)
What you get to do in this role:
- Partner with peers in business units (product solutions marketing, employee communications, operations, etc.) to develop customer insights, pain points and strategy and craft them into creative briefs that inspire
- Partner with outside research agencies for insight gathering, campaign testing, and competitive research
- Identify customer stories, customer references, customer insights
- Partner with peers in operations to track brand health and campaign measurements
- Work with peers outside the US to ensure new markets are getting the benefit of brand and the full support for their go-to-market plans
Qualifications
In order to be successful in this role, we need someone who has:
• Great people skills, someone who loves to work closely with internal partners to evolve and grow business through consistent, persistent messaging and branding
• A keen “attention to detail” compass across multiple initiatives
• Brilliant listener and absorber of information, someone able to find allies and partners easily within the organization to fill in knowledge gaps and get things done
• Someone who can write an insight-driven brief and is eager to extend that skill into new areas, i.e., brief writing for brand, content creation, social, employee communications, events, etc.
