Who We Are
Hi We’re Thinkingbox, the brief to built agency. Creating innovative digital, experiential, social, and content, we partner with leading brands across industries like sports, gaming, entertainment, and technology. We believe the hands that carefully craft the work should belong to the minds that dreamed it. So while others pass the buck, we’re already building. Because our thinkers are also the makers. Culture is at the heart of who we are, and our offices are hubs of natural collaboration. From hanging out with our office dogs to enjoying Thursday happy hours, we keep our work environment vibrant, welcoming, and fun. Each year, we also encourage our people to spend a month exploring the world, whether that means working from another office or even from the beaches of Mexico, to expand their perspectives and bring fresh inspiration back to the team.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a curious, culturally plugged-in Strategist to join our Strategy team. This role is for someone who loves understanding people, brands, culture and behaviour, and turning those insights into explicit, inspiring strategic direction.
As a Strategist, you’ll develop strategies across digital, experiential, brand, social and integrated projects, working closely with creative, account, media, production, UX and technology teams. You’ll dig into audiences and culture, identify the tension or opportunity at the heart of a brief, and help create a clear strategic foundation for the work that follows.
You’ll be comfortable taking ownership of defined projects and workstreams, while collaborating with senior strategists on larger, more complex engagements. We’re looking for someone who can move beyond gathering information to form a point of view, connect the dots and articulate what it means for the work.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Develop brand, campaign, digital, experiential and integrated strategies across a range of client briefs.
- Take ownership of strategic workstreams, from initial research and discovery through to recommendations and final presentations.
- Conduct and synthesize audience, cultural, category, competitor and trend research.
- Turn research,
data and observations into clear insights and actionable strategic opportunities.
- Identify the audience tension, behaviour or cultural opportunity that can unlock solid creative thinking.
- Develop creative briefs, strategic narratives, presentations, POVs, audience frameworks and other client deliverables.
- Partner closely with creative teams to ensure strategic thinking translates into compelling ideas and experiences.
- Collaborate across creative, account, media, production, UX, technology and social teams to build connected thinking.
- Stay close to culture, emerging behaviours, platforms and technology, identifying what changes actually matter for brands.
- Review campaign, digital and social performance to identify learnings that can inform future strategy.
- Contribute strategic thinking to new business pitches and organic growth opportunities.
- Participate in and help facilitate client workshops, discovery sessions and brainstorms.
- Present strategic thinking and recommendations to clients with clarity and confidence.
- Bring a clear point of view to the work while remaining open to collaboration, feedback and iteration.
What You’ll Bring
- Approximately 3-5 years of experience in strategy, advertising, marketing, brand, digital, social, research or a related discipline. Agency experience is preferred.
- Experience developing strategy from brief through to recommendation, with examples of work you can talk us through.
- Strong research and synthesis skills, with the ability to distinguish an interesting observation from a meaningful insight.
- An understanding of audiences, culture and consumer behaviour, and how they can inform creative work.
