Brand Strategist | Dubai, UAE

The Role

Salary 20,000 AED / health insurance / annual flight home.

We’re looking for mid-weight brand strategist.

Our Dubai team needs a brand strategist, with good all-round experience, excellent presentation and English-writing skills, and the appetite to work on some of the most dynamic brands in the Middle East. This would suit someone on their second or third job-move, with 4 years + experience in a top branding agency.

Act as the agency’s key generator of Brand Codes (the key deliverable and summation of a brand strategy).

It’s expected that a middleweight strategist will be able to work with minimal direction and oversight, and have fully-developed thinking/articulation skills.

Key Tasks:

• Assist junior strategists with research and analysis for the Insight phase of M2i, directing them as necessary.
• (M2i = Mission to Inspire, our proprietorial process).
• Conduct client interviews at middle and senior management levels (ie not necessarily CEO/Board levels, unless agreed with Head of Strategy).
• Run workshops.
• Draft Brand Codes.
• Initiate and create Point of View documents in response to opportunities, RFPs and as part of pitches and proposals.
• Run ignition sessions, getting projects off the ground internally.
• Brief and liaise with the Creative team, so the Brand Code is understood before creative work begins; then ensure that creative solutions deliver the Brand Code.
• Be on top of general trends, sector opportunities and strategic issues, uncovering and sharing relevant information.

Requirements

• 2–3 years experience in a junior brand strategist role, plus 1–2 at middleweight level, ideally in a brand or design agency context.
• (We’re not looking for advertising planners).
• Strong analytical, writing and presentational skills.
• Native English speaker.
• Degree-level education.
• Experience in the luxury property development, hospitality, financial services and travel sectors is advantageous.
• Outgoing lively personality, able and willing to spot opportunities, get involved and be proactive – not someone who needs to be spoon-fed tasks.

We’re a fully-integrated brand agency, creating game-changing ideas, experiences and brands for?ambitious businesses – across print, digital, moving image, environments and more. Headquartered in Dubai, and with offices in London, Sydney and Hong Kong, we’re a passionate and committed team that believes in the opportunity to challenge. To do better in every way possible. To use brand as a catalyst for tangible and positive change. In the UAE, we work with the biggest and most dynamic brands and opportunities, and play a full part in the region’s incredible trajectory.

Excellent remuneration (tax-free), plus health insurance and annual flight allowance
