What we're looking for:

We're on the hunt for Senior Strategist who balances objectivity and empathy.

You dive into the deep end to unearth valuable insights that can unlock the potential, not only of what is creatively possible for our client's brands, but also what is practical and purposeful.


The Senior Strategist should be able to create and nurture a strong relationship with our client from a content delivery and an account management perspective.

This position will work very closely with the client to receive, manage and perform communication, and marketing strategy tasks. In MEMAC Ogilvy, Strategy Consultants go beyond performing strategy tasks at the client's request.

While they do consult on the client's marketing and communication needs, they also pro-actively suggest new ways for the agency to be relevant to the client.

This can only happen if the Consultant gains deep insight into the client's needs, pain-points and growth drivers and reached a level of knowledge that allows them to anticipate communication and marketing strategy needs.

The point of this position is to become a close advisor to our client stakeholders on a pro-active and reactive manner, to smoothly manage the flow of tasks coming in from the client side and to parter with both the client and the rest of MEMAC Ogilvy's teams to deliver the best standards of strategy thinking.
