Swindon, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

Summary

We're looking for a Creative Strategist to join the team at the National Trust on a fixed-term basis. You'll connect business objectives with audience insights and brand, transforming data and market research into innovative strategies. 
Collaborating with diverse teams including marketing operations, creatives, and senior stakeholders, you’ll ensure every proposal is rooted in a deep understanding of business goals and audience needs. You'll present your ideas, inspire colleagues, and influence campaign strategies, making a meaningful impact together. This is a fixed term contract due to end when the previous employee returns from maternity leave. At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.Internally, you'll be known as 'Planner'. 

What it's like to work here

We’re bigger than you think, we’re more complicated than we appear and we’re larger scale than you’d imagine. We have passionate people in our teams and so much more we want to achieve. We’re for everyone, for ever, and we really mean that.
Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you're based at other times. You'll be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

What you'll be doing

You’ll be part of the Brand and Creative team who lead the way in creative imagination at National Trust and ensure our brand stays relevant. As a Creative Planner, you’ll use audience research, market trends, and data analytics to uncover insights that drive our creative vision. 
You’ll form compelling creative briefs that combine business objectives with audience needs and collaborate with campaign managers, creatives, media planners and strategy teams to ensure an aligned campaign direction. Your role will involve engaging stakeholders by translating complex insights into clear, simple, impactful strategies that align with our brand and goals. You’ll also track and evaluate campaign performance data to measure success and inform future improvements. Staying ahead of industry trends and consumer behaviour will be crucial as you seek out new opportunities for creative innovation.
