Description
At Revolt, we build brands the world wants more of.
Revolt is a global brand communications agency specializing in positive impact, working with major brands, fast-growing businesses, and NGOs.
Sat at the intersection of brand communications, impact, and business, we help brands build their corporate reputations, brand equity, and internal culture.
We operate like a hybrid between a strategy consultancy and a creative agency: intellectually rigorous, creatively ambitious, and values-driven.
Revolt is part of Anthesis, the world's leading specialist in sustainability, meaning everything we do is backed by substance and technical rigour.
We are looking for a Brand & Communications Strategist who can help organizations act and communicate meaningfully in the world. This is a strategic brand building role with a strong purpose and sustainability lens, combining commercial brand thinking with cultural and societal impact. Able to deliver cultural impact and commercial results for the brand.
The ideal candidate is someone who can turn complexity into compelling clarity: shaping brand narratives, positioning, and communication strategies that drive both business results and positive change. We are looking for someone who sees themselves a bit of a ‘Swiss army knife’ - able to adapt to different types of briefs, topics, and client challenges.
For example, they will need to be able to deliver this across a range of briefs like:
- Brand positioning and organizational purpose
- Brand and communication strategies
- Creative and design briefings
- Brand architecture and messaging frameworks
- Internal and go-to-market and campaign narratives
