Job Description

NORD is looking for a Senior Brand Strategist for our Copenhagen office. You'll sit inside a strategy team working across brand, marketing, creative and cultural strategy and side by side with the people who turn that work into something real: concept creatives, copywriters, art directors, designers, experience and service designers and other creative disciplines across the agency.

You will lead the foundational work: brand platforms and positionings that hold up over time, and figure out what's actually going on for a client's brand and business. Then help make the directional choices that shape everything that follows, from communication and campaigns to product and experience.

What you’ll do

• Lead brand strategy projects marketing strategy work end to end

• Do real research: Sit and talk with real people, ethnography, interviews, market analysis, both qualitative and quantitative. The output is human, interesting and points somewhere. Not a deck with lengthy information but punchy direction

• Reframe problems and briefs to bring a point of view that makes people think

• Write clearly across every format. Your writing is part of who you are and the value you bring

• Design and run workshops. You can walk into a room full of stakeholders and get them engaged

• Present with clarity and confidence and build the momentum it takes to get the work made

• Work shoulder to shoulder with different creative disciplines (concept creatives, designers, etc.)

What we’re looking for

• Minimum 5 years of strategy experience (agency, consultancy, brand-side or similar)

• A strong foundation in both brand strategy and marketing strategy projects

• A genuine passion for seeing things from a different angle to deliver points of view that make people think

• You don't need to be a specialist, but you should be confident with qualitative and quantitative sources, willing to get out and sit with real people in the real world, and good at asking the right questions

• You understand how our clients' businesses work and grow and you navigate stakeholder conversations with ease

• Strong curiosity for culture, people and what's shifting in everyday life

• A collaborative way of working and a real interest in building with others

• Fluent English is required Understanding Danish, or the motivation to learn it, is a plus

Working in Copenhagen
This role is based in our Copenhagen office, and we expect you to be here most of the time If you’re relocating, we can accommodate a short remote transition period, but the long-term setup is in person.

Clients
