<![CDATA[Egg Strategy is a boutique brand strategy firm that partners with innovative clients to unleash the momentum inside their brands. Our intentionally-disparate collection of experienced marketing professionals offer expertise from -White Space Hunting to identifying the first sparks of market opportunity -Creating deep and actionable target insights for client’s brands to leverage -Leading the innovation process that creates new brands and product concepts -Guiding the strategic positioning and communications process We give our staff the freedom to impact our company and culture in whatever way their skills, passions, and curiosities take them, within a results-oriented environment. 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. We hire more for agile minds, relationship skills, and culture-fit rather than exact skill sets and training. Our current team includes ex- Client-Side Brand Stewards, Innovation Directors, Ad Agency Planners, Brand Consultants, and Market Researchers. Egg Strategy has grown to 24 employees in two offices (Chicago, Boulder) with strong senior presence in both offices. Our clients represent a wide range of category-leading brands: Food, beverage, beer, spirits, restaurant, retail, automotive, banking, gaming, and professional services.

You will likely work with a Managing Director on most projects, but the majority of the responsibility for the success of the project will be yours. o Able to develop interesting and relevant methodologies for proposals and projects: We do not have set off-the-shelf “research & strategy products” we sell. We are hired to create new ways to solve business issues. The ability to thoughtfully seek out new insights in mature categories is key to success. o Strong experience in either: - Brand Strategy: Positioning, communication planning - Front End of Innovation: Pipeline building, concept creation. o Some responsibility for developing new business from your existing network, but full responsibility for maintaining and growing the client relationships you will manage (doing a great job on the first project to earn the second). o Be willing and able to travel as much as required. 5 - 10 travel days per month are typical. 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 engagem
