Creative Strategist / Planner – Consumer Brands & Retail Activations

Are you passionate about creating campaigns that resonate with consumers and drive impact at retail? Do you have a knack for integrating entertainment partnerships into brand strategies that elevate consumer engagement?


We’re looking for a Mid/Senior Creative Strategist to join an innovative agency that focuses on bringing consumer brands to life through entertainment partnerships. The agency leverages entertainment partnerships, including film and gaming IP, to craft compelling stories and brand experiences that engage consumers at the point of purchase and beyond.


This is a fantastic opportunity to lead groundbreaking campaigns that merge the power of fan culture with the commmerical impact of retail. The role focuses on consumer brands and retail activations, creating unique campaigns powered by fan insights.


This isn’t a role for someone who just sets direction; we’re looking for a doer. You’ll lead creative projects end-to-end, turning insights into innovative ideas. You should be as comfortable brainstorming new ways to captivate a fanbase as you are presenting a polished pitch to a brand manager or retailer.


We’re seeking a creative thinker who can lead a team or work independently to shape brand activations across a range of industries, including FMCG, often leveraging entertainment properties to create moments of cultural relevance. From ideation to execution, you’ll help brands forge partnerships that drive retail impact while capturing the hearts and minds of consumers.


You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with a passionate team in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your ideas can shine. Enjoying the freedom to develop bold, creative activations that influence consumer behaviour at the point of purchase. If you’re a strategic thinker with a passion for retail and entertainment, this is the perfect role for you.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead creative strategy for consumer brand campaigns and retail activations, with a focus on entertainment partnerships and seasonal activations.
  • Distil consumer insights into actionable strategies that connect retail, media, and experiential activations.
  • Leverage film, TV, and gaming IP to create brand partnerships that drive engagement and sales across key retail channels.
  • Work with the creative team to ideate and develop innovative concepts that align with both consumer and brand objectives.
  • Present strategic recommendations to clients, guiding them from insight to activation, and crafting solutions that resonate with both consumers and retailers.


About You:

  • A minimum of 5+ years in a creative strategy or planning role, with a strong focus on consumer brands and retail activations.
  • Experience developing campaigns that integrate entertainment IP into consumer marketing strategies.
  • Proven track record of working with FMCG brands, building partnerships that impact consumer purchasing decisions.
  • Ability to take insights and transform them into creative ideas that engage consumers across multiple touchpoints, including in-store, online, and via social channels.
  • Strong presentation skills and ability to inspire both internal teams and external clients.
