Here's an opportunity for an experienced Planner/Strategist to put their thinking to work within a talented Auckland-based creative agency setting.

YOU

You'll be a curious thinker who enjoys getting under the skin of a brief, understanding what makes people tick and finding the insight that can lead to a great creative idea.

You'll have 8+ years' experience in planning or strategy, gained within an advertising or creative agency environment. You'll have a solid understanding of brands, marketing and communications, and know how to turn research, audience insights and business challenges into clear, compelling strategic thinking.

You'll be someone who can see the bigger picture without losing sight of the detail. You'll be comfortable questioning the brief, challenging conventional thinking and bringing a fresh perspective to the table. You'll know that good strategy isn't about complicated presentations or clever-sounding language; it's about finding the right thinking to make the work better and more effective.

Working closely with creative and client service teams, you'll help shape briefs, develop strategic platforms and provide the thinking that gives creative ideas direction and purpose. You'll enjoy collaborating with creatives, getting involved in the development of ideas and making sure there's a strong connection between the client's objectives, the audience insight and the final work.

You'll be confident presenting your thinking, articulating your point of view and building trusted relationships with clients. You'll be commercially aware, comfortable working across different categories and able to move between big-picture thinking and the practical detail needed to bring a strategy to life.

Just as importantly, you'll be approachable, collaborative and enjoy what you do. You'll be open to ideas, happy to roll up your sleeves and enjoy being part of the process of turning good thinking into great work.
