London UK, UK, United Kingdom alan. agency Full time

Are you an experienced and creatively charged brand strategist eager to take your career to the next level? If you're passionate about moulding the narratives of globally recognised brands and rising scale ups, including SAP, AWS, BDO and Elsevier, within a lively and spirited B2B brand-building agency, then this role is for you.


As a Senior Brand Strategist at alan, your impact will not be limited to just crafting winning brand strategies – you'll be the lynchpin between research, creative, design and editorial, bringing brands to life through the creation of irresistible identities and compelling campaigns. In this role, you'll have the unique opportunity to liberate clients from generic robotic identities, infusing their brands with humanity. You'll use your analytical abilities, strategic mindset and storytelling prowess to build brands that challenge sector norms and resonate on a deep, visceral level.


Key dimensions of the role:


Brand Strategy: As a Senior Brand Strategist, you will be the visionary architect, crafting sophisticated brand ecosystems. The role includes conducting full-scale rebrands, producing compelling brand stories, proposition development and building out key brand architecture. Your expertise in steering and implementing these strategies will be instrumental in helping our clients' brands to bring about real change, at both a business and market level.


Messaging: The ability to create impactful and resonant messaging is at the core of this role. You will be tasked with developing communication strategies that effectively convey brand values, resonate with target audiences and differentiate our clients in the market.


Thought Leadership: Within B2B, thought leadership is a key brand-building lever. Your role will leverage your editorial eye to identify and curate interesting, unexpected stories, and angles that position our clients as industry leaders.


Campaign Strategy and Planning: You’ll be the mastermind behind creative approaches, taking charge of guiding and sculpting ‘big ideas’ through your strategic insights and creative briefings. Beyond mere planning, your role encompasses crafting the blueprint of campaigns, injecting activations with innovation, and helping navigate the entire creative journey from conception to flawless execution.


Who we’re looking for:


A Brand Geek: Passionate aficionado of brand, demonstrating an in-depth understanding of brand theory, methodologies, trends, and a keen appreciation for what makes a brand truly stand out.


A convincing personality: Not necessarily a big or loud personality, but someone who brings conviction, leadership and verve to their ideas for change.


A Pitch Winner and Account Builder: Demonstrates a proven track record as a value adding strategist, helping secure pitch wins and growing accounts through persuasive communication and strategic acumen.


A Storyteller with Creative Spark: Gifted storyteller who can weave narratives that captivate and resonate with diverse audiences, bringing imagination and colour to every stage of a project.


Requirements:

● A minimum of 3 years working in a brand strategy role

● Excellent communication skills, able to present insightful thoughts to internal and external stakeholders with panache.

● Able working on a variety of projects simultaneously and manage deadlines

● Inquisitive and creative mind, ability to generate bold and original ideas

● Able to build bullet-proof logical arguments

● Understanding and appreciation of content marketing

● Account / client stakeholder management experience

● Collaborative spirit – keen to be present in the office with team mates to do the best possible work


Nice to have:

● Agency experience

● B2B experience

● Tech / FS / Professional services experience


About the company:

We are a B2B brand-building agency. We help financial services, professional services and technology companies like EY, Elsevier, Visa and BDO use the power of brand to bring about market and business level change. Through our background in journalism we create stories that provoke B2B audience to think, feel, act differently.
