England, United Kingdom Marks, part of SGS & Co Full time

Marks is an award-winning multi-disciplinary studio, with bases in N. America, Europe and Asia. We are part of SGS & Co, a brand impact group that enables its household name clients to succeed - empowering acceleration on a global scale. From vision-building to detailed execution, we enable brands to move faster and shift impact.


We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Strategist to become part of our global team – to be based in either London or Birmingham. Strategy is at the core of how we shape brands and businesses – using insight to unlock opportunity, guide expression and define future innovation.


We expect you to have relevant experience working in a brand / design agency, with ideally a focus on FMCG brands. Our work is truly global, so experience of delivering projects internationally is ideal.


We encourage hybrid working – it’s therefore anticipated you’ll spend around 2 days a week in the London/Birmingham studio, and there may be some international travel required.



In this role you will report into the Group Strategy Director (London), and you will:


  • Work with our client service teams to define clear briefs and shape proposals – never delivering a what without knowing the why
  • Be competent in desk research and data analysis – using information to unlock consumer / market / category insight and trends
  • Be able to shape presentations – using clear story-telling and narrative
  • Be able to work with the creative team to shape creative expression based on an understanding of visual codes and cues
  • Be the voice of strategy in internal meetings and client presentations
  • Pro-actively strengthen the team, contributing to studio inspiration and new business opportunities
  • Be happy to participate in internal and external workshops – with either experience in moderation or a desire to develop that skill
  • Be curious to learn more about Marks’ approach to building culture-fuelled brands
  • Be happy to work independently, but also as a part of a team



You will be:


  • Experienced in an agency role – with ideally 5-7 years’ experience
  • Able to think creatively and analytically, with strong attention to detail
  • A confident presenter – to both clients and internal audiences
  • A self-starter – able to work independently and as part of a team
  • Fluent in English – both written and spoken
  • Able to deliver work in MS Office and Keynote
  • A graduate with a 2:1 (or equivalent) degree
  • Able to talk knowledgeably about different research methodologies and help shape the right approach for testing work


You will enjoy an excellent base salary, along with the other benefits of working for Marks including:


  • 25 days annual leave
  • Pension
  • Healthcare scheme
  • Life Assurance
