You will have experience and confidence across the full range of strategy skills: from research methods to effective measurement, from marketing theory to inspiring presentation skills – and maybe be an expert in some of them.

* Proven experience of briefing and developing creative work with teams.
* Experience of building relationships with clients, along with a proficiency in writing presentations and presenting with confidence.
* Understanding of key marketing theories (e.g. laws of growth, the works of Binet and Field, behavioural economics) and an ability to fluently apply these to strategy work.
* Knowledge of current and emerging research methods, including their strengths and weaknesses and likely outputs.
* Ability to synthesise 4Cs information to create new and provocative insights that we can use to develop more interesting and effective work.
* Confident use of key tools for insight generation e.g. GWI, YouGov, WARC. Fluent use of planning tools and templates e.g. planning cycle, ecosystem models
* Understanding of measurement and effectiveness frameworks, what the key KPIs for a given campaign might be, and proxies for success. Clarity on how we might begin to measure these and ability to discuss implications with clients.
* Experience of developing a brand, and of being a brand guardian.
* An infectious passion for the craft that will inspire clients and colleagues, with a desire to get the most out of Dentsu’s data and media offering.
* A collaborative spirit, wanting to bring joy and a sense of play into the work – and to contribute to our agency culture.
