Global Strategy Experience Design Director

3 Month Contract

2-3 days per week in our TVC offices

The Role

We are currently seeking an experienced Strategy Director who will report directly into the Global Strategy & Innovation Lead. You will help shape how our clients show up in culture through connected media experiences. This role sits at the intersection of partnerships, creativity, and media strategy, working across global campaigns and strategic initiatives to identify where audience insight, channel thinking, creative opportunity, and collaboration can come together to create more distinctive and effective work.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of experience-led strategic responses for global campaigns, connecting audience insight, media thinking, creative opportunity, and partnership potential into clear recommendations.
  • Work with creative agency partners, client teams, and internal specialists to identify and shape partnership, innovation, and activation opportunities that strengthen campaign impact and cultural relevance.
  • Translate brand and business challenges into audience-first experience platforms that can travel across markets, channels, and touchpoints.
  • Collaborate closely with strategy, insights, analytics, commerce, partnerships, and local planning teams to ensure ideas are grounded in evidence and designed for real-world delivery.
  • Help define how media can do more than deliver reach by creating connected brand experiences that audiences can participate in, remember, and share.
  • Shape strategic frameworks, playbooks, and inspiration materials that guide markets on how to activate experience-led and partnership-enabled thinking effectively.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
