Reporting into: Strategy Director
Are you deeply immersed in internet culture and passionate about crafting influencer strategies that get everyone talking? We're looking for a Senior Influence Strategist to join our Ogilvy Influence team.
In this role, you'll be the strategic powerhouse behind our award-winning campaigns, turning cultural insights into influential ideas for some of the world's biggest brands. You will be our cultural ear to the ground, guiding clients and creatives to deliver work that earns its place in conversation, blending smart paid and earned strategies. Your mission is to elevate our influence offering, ensuring our work is not just seen, but remembered.
At Ogilvy, we are guided by David Ogilvy’s core values: Do the Right Thing, Do the Best Work of Our Lives, and Do It Together. If these principles resonate with you, we’d love for you to join us in shaping what’s next.
Ogilvy’s influencer marketing practice is the largest globally; we are proud to be the most awarded influencer agency for six years running and the recipient of the Cannes Grand Prix for Social & Creator for two consecutive years.
You are an experienced and passionate strategist who lives and breathes social and influencer marketing. You have a proven track record of building effective, earned-first strategies with influencers at their core. You’re naturally curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two briefs are the same. Most importantly, you’re a collaborative team player, excited by the opportunity to work with diverse teams and help make Ogilvy’s influence output the best it can be.
At Ogilvy, we are a friendly, collaborative, and eclectic team united by a shared commitment to doing the best work of our lives. Beyond client work, you’ll have the chance to shape our vibrant culture, join active social teams, and contribute to our industry-leading DEI initiatives.
