Responsibilities
Dream Big, Execute Smart: Bring "Big Swing" ambition to the table. You are expected to generate platform-level ideas that may start as an experience but have the legs to drive a global 360 campaign
Ecosystem Thinking: You don't just build isolated assets; you build connected ecosystems. You understand how an event activation feeds content capture, which feeds social strategy, which drives product trial
Savvy Navigation: Great ideas die without a champion. You must possess the political and strategic savvy to sell big, complex visions to stakeholders, turning "we can't do that" into "how do we start?"
Lead the Physical: Oversee deep experiential work, driving conceptual development for global events and activations. Direct spatial design, materiality, and physicality to ensure the brand shows up authentically in the real world
Lead the Digital: Lead the team dedicated to on-device demos. Use your deep understanding of UX and UI to guide the creation of digital experiences that demonstrate product magic simply and intuitively
Show, Don’t Tell: Champion the principle that a simple, visual demo is often the most powerful creative asset. Ensure all demos and experiences are rooted in truth and reality
The AI Optimist: embrace Artificial Intelligence not as a threat, but as a creative force multiplier. You will actively look for ways to incorporate GenAI into workflows—from ideation and storyboarding to asset generation and spatial visualization
Future-Proofing: Help define the future of the agency—structurally, creatively, and culturally. Be willing to build out the future together with clients, establishing new ways of working that leverage technology to get to "better" faster
Build Relationships: Marketing is a relationship business. Foster executive-level client relationships that build trust, reaching "text-based comfort" within a year
Storytell with Clarity: Serve as the last line of defense before work reaches the client. Your duty is to "storytell" ideas, ensuring narratives are clear to laymen and that presentations are polished to perfection
Maker Culture: Foster an environment of creativity and get people psyched to make stuff
Quality Control: Provide rigorous quality control over your team’s output, ensuring projects are delivered on timeline, on budget, and ensure commercial success
