We are strategists, designers, producers and directors who work to connect a brand to its audience through powerful storytelling and trend-led creative executions.

**What will you be doing**: We are on the lookout for a Strategy Lead, to head up our Paid Media and Social Media Strategy offerings, driving best practice and excellence across these service disciplines.
