The PITCH

Well, now we’re looking for someone who lives and breathes social media even more than us [if that’s possible]. Do you know all of the latest trends? Memes? And TikToks? Maybe you’ve dabbled in the world of influencers? Believe in the power of social media and community management to change hearts, minds, and drive sales? Love the hustle of a fast-paced agency that is working across Food & Bev, Fashion & Retail, Banking & Telco? Thrive in a role where you can bring ideas to life on billions of screens? Cool. Then let’s talk.

This exciting opportunity of a full-time role based in Sydney will allow you to collaborate with the local team as well as learn from our incredible global network. You will manage and drive our strategy expertise and be someone who is familiar with the Australian landscape.

If you have been living in the depths of social trends and across the digital space for five plus years we could be a great fit.

Here’s your impact.

  • Build Bridges: Connect brands and consumers, with a unique Aussie context.
  • Implement Strategies: Drive end-to-end customer experience, including local research, auditing, understanding Aussie consumer behaviors, and pulling trends into cohesive, clear strategies.
  • Bring Worlds to Life: Use qualitative, cultural mining, and quantitative research to inform strategic approaches tailored for Australia.
  • Segment Audiences: Develop distinct, differentiated segments connected to strategic decisions and creative ways-in for the Australian market.
  • Develop Solutions: From brand strategy to tactical social, content, tone of voice, and influencer strategies relevant to Australia.
  • Uncover Insights: Offer out-of-the-box data perspectives to find opportunities, not just reflections.
  • Craft Content: Support teams in creating killer social content, outreach, caption banks, and trend-jacking posts with local flair.
  • Leverage Tools: Utilize VaynerMedia tools, research, and platforms for content audits and holistic success measurement.
  • Deck Dynamo: Craft presentations that clearly detail ideas and insights, and sell!
  • Grasp Technicals: Apply ample agency and content creation experience to understand content creation and the digital consumer journey for end-to-end campaigns.
  • Master Fundamentals: Possess a deep understanding of brand and marketing.
  • Champion Clarity: Be vocal and inventive, breaking down complex tasks and creating clarity.

Here’s the “Nice To Have”:

  • Have 5+ years as a strategist in a creative advertising agency, with at least 2 years specifically in the Australian market.
  • Are a self-starter who delivers work independently with pace, energy, and drive.
  • Love to lead collaborative sessions with clients and internal teams.
  • Are a master of managing multiple timelines and competing deadlines without breaking a sweat.
  • Are always on the lookout for new ideas and ways to innovate.

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S. Portfolio would be nice :)
