Flipping the Script
It’s hiring season, a new year, a new decade. So it’s time for a change, for me to take a leap, dive in and throw myself out there.
After years of working as a brand strategy consultant, I’m looking for a full time home. I’m seeking to build those long term relationships with clients and colleagues, to mentor talent and solve challenges from beginning to end. I’ve worked with some incredibly talented people and produced work across categories and strategic challenges - an on-the-job masters in branding, campaign strategy, digital and overall creative problem solving. I’ve helped transform billion dollar companies, created strategies that birthed brands, crafted global campaigns, messaging, pitch theater and decks galore. I’ve interviewed C-suites, experts on complex subjects, people on the street, and people in the intimacy of their own homes. I’ve been mentored by those along the way and carved my own path. I can see the big picture and how the pieces fit together - from helping to shape the vision of the C-suite to collaborating with research analysts on the latest consumer data. And now I’m ready to bring all those experiences to a branding, design or ad agency, under one roof.
So it’s time to flip the script and tell the world (of LinkedIn) what I’m looking for:
—A role that is concentrated in brand strategy (positioning, identity, creative strategy).
—The ability to touch a variety of clients & strategic challenges.
—Clients who lean towards services / tech / B2B / hospitality / non-profit & generally have integrity in their effort to make the world a slightly better place.
—A collaborative strategy team with a strategy department head who seeks to nurture talent.
—Junior talent to guide.
—A place that values the strategic process by providing the appropriate resources (time and/or research tools) and invests in primary research.
—A company with a strong design aesthetic and updated positioning / offering.
—Creative output because I believe in that beautiful magic that comes from strategy / account / creatives / production working together to make things.
—Colleagues who are equally excited to work in this energizing industry and have maintained their sense of humor through the bumps along the road.
And that’s it. The rest is feeling, a meeting and an opportunity to bring someone on, like me, with incredibly unique and valuable experiences, waiting to be channeled into a full time role at the associate director / director level.
