• Inspire teams and clients with well-designed, story-driven presentations that are rich in actionable customer, cultural, and competitive insights
• Work alongside creatives and designers from idea inception to execution, ensuring our work consistently aligns with business objectives and client priorities
• Flex your thinking across physical and digital to meet customers where they are
• Ensure work is properly measured, collaborating with research, analytics, and clients to capture key data and creating digestible performance reports that prove impact
• Keep our teams informed of relevant trends and insights on an ongoing basis, which could guide existing work or inspire new ideas

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS):

• Must have 6+ years of experience in brand strategy, working for brand, creative or integrated agency
• Bachelor's degree preferred

• Excellent storytelling, presentation and creative writing capabilities
• Experience working with retail brands and/or retailer trade and marketing teams a plus
• Hands-on qualitative and quantitative research experience
• Strong foundation of business

The salary range for this position is $90,000 to $110,000. Where an employee or prospective employee is paid within this range will depend on, among other factors, actual ranges for current/former employees in the subject position; market considerations; location and region; budgetary considerations; tenure and standing with the company (applicable to current employees); as well as the employee's/applicant's background, pertinent experience, and qualifications.

Omnicom's policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom's corporate group already require five days of in-office attendance.
