Job Description
ROLE SUMMARY
The Strategy Partner plays a leading role in shaping client vision, unlocking business growth, and elevating the agency’s strategic offering. You will lead the strategic charge across key client relationships — driving integrated, insight-led media strategies that connect brands to audiences in meaningful, measurable ways.
Working closely with clients, planners, channel specialists, data teams, and creative partners, you will translate business challenges into effective and progressive comms strategies. Your thinking will influence everything from audience architecture, comms frameworks, award-winning big ideas, and measurement approaches. With a strong grasp of evolving consumer behavior, marketing effectiveness, and brand strategy, you'll help clients stay ahead of the curve and ahead of the competition.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development of audience-first, insight-driven communications strategies across key accounts, as well as new business pitches
- Guide the strategic vision across client portfolios, ensuring consistency, innovation, and commercial impact.
- Serve as a senior strategic advisor to C-suite and marketing leadership, building deep, trusted relationships and get "upstream" to support them in tackling business challenges beyond paid advertising.
- Collaborate closely with client leadership teams to shape long-term roadmaps and proactive media solutions.
- Drive thought leadership and strategic counsel in response to client challenges, briefs, and industry shifts.
- Provide strategic quality control and ensure delivery of best-in-class strategic output across all accounts.
- Actively contribute to both internal OMG and industry-wide thought leadership – from written thought pieces, to speaking on panels and presenting at industry events.
- Work with the CSO/Head of Strategy to lead the strategic response for new business pitches and in shaping the strategic vision and objectives for the Strategy department.
- Identify new revenue streams for the department by identifying when existing specialist services might help meet a client need or by co-creating brand new / bespoke offerings.
- Manage the Strategy Directors in the team and support them in their career development.
