London, Greater London, United Kingdom Design Bridge and Partners Full time
Strategy Director

At Design Bridge and Partners, we believe design is the most powerful means of driving positive change. Because design answers the big questions. So we're redefining what design is and what design can do for brands, businesses, people, and the planet.

We are looking for a Strategy Director who wants to create the best work of their career, joining our dynamic team of 20+ Strategists in our London office.

The Strategy team at Design Bridge and Partners sees its role in pushing brand strategy to the next level by leading the development of solutions that make a real difference to our clients' businesses.

Key Responsibilities
  • Providing strategic leadership and guidance to a global FMCG client, across both communications and brand strategy throughout multiple international markets.
  • Providing leadership to colleagues by taking responsibility for projects, pitches, and their results.
  • Scaling strategies beyond a single stakeholder or organization by rearticulating and building consensus around a new narrative and direction.
  • Applying strategically-driven creative and communications planning ideas across a wide range of touch points for your client; creating in collaboration with the other functions inspiring brand worlds and how we can activate them in the real world.

You will have experience leading brand, communications, or pitch teams and clients from a strategic perspective. This will involve partnering with a large, global FMCG brand at the heart of culture, so you'll be expected to have reasonable experience within semiotics, and adapting that to innovation-led products, as well as being able to plan the communication channels to activate the brand to the right audience.

As a Strategy Director, you will push the agency and client into new areas of opportunity, representing the agency (and the Strategy Team) in the industry and leading on brand activations and communications strategy.

You will be able to lead strategic processes and build clear strategic solutions for branding and communications projects, offering a 'product first' approach with a fresh interpretation of the client challenge.

You will set the strategic vision and obtain stakeholder buy-in, identifying opportunities for growth and building proposals with team leads.

Additionally, you will lead (in collaboration with a Creative Director) the translation of analytical/critical strategic thinking and concepts to creative concepts and output (across brand definitions, comms concepts & messaging, brand identities, brand experiences, and consumer packaging).

We'll help you to develop your skills and provide you with outstanding benefits.

Design Bridge and Partners is an equal opportunity employer and considers applicants for all positions without regard to race, religion or belief, sex, age, national origin, citizenship status, marital status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability.

We believe in creating a dynamic work environment that values diversity and inclusion and strives to recruit a diverse slate of candidates to help us achieve that goal.
