We are consistently growing new approaches, client bases, and revenue streams. We will depend on you to push us further and our expectation is that you will work harder than you have ever worked before, stretching your creative thinking to new levels.

Level One: Strategist o At least 3 years of brand strategy experience. o A love of conversation and an ability to lead a discussion with anyone. This job requires a high desire to spend time conducting research field work: In-home interviews, ethnographies, online journaling, focus group moderating, leading break-out sessions during ideation. o Demonstration of “thinking beyond the task”: What’s the big idea, how will we find it, what’s the real answer to the question being asked? o Client relationship skills, as well as strong basic project management skills (budgeting, scheduling, preparing screeners, writing discussion guides, managing research vendors, etc.) o Ability to lead smaller engagements as day-to-day contact, and be a respected voice as the second-in-command on larger engagements o Be willing and able to travel as much as required. 5 - 10 travel days per month are typical. o Ability to work in an collaborative environment.
