The Role

We at The Wild are looking for a Creative Strategist who recognises how brands need to think, talk and act in the new world – and understands that social should be at the heart of creating brilliantly relevant brands that truly connect with audiences.

The successful candidate will be able to think big and small – and everything in between – and most importantly, see social as the playground for launching ideas with cultural currency, not just the home of activation tactics and hacks.

As a Creative Strategist at The Wild you’ll work closely with our strategy team to understand our clients business problems and challenges, as well as their audiences; real-world experiences, to develop sharp creative briefs, strategies and platforms to get our creative teams moving. With a curious and analytical mind and a flair for bringing together emotional and logical thinking, we’re after a Creative Strategist who tells stories for fun, can hold court with internal and external teams alike, and gets down and dirty when production kicks off. Do you revel in combining dreaming and doing? Theory and reality? Then this one could be for you.
