The Opportunity

An award-winning, integrated PR & Marketing agency, known for its collaborative and creative culture, is looking for a confident and autonomous Strategist to join its Strategy & Planning team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves turning insight into action – blending data analysis with creative direction and campaign thinking.

You’ll be part of a small, high-performing strategy team that values curiosity, collaboration, and bold ideas. Whether you’re a mid-weight strategist looking for more ownership, or someone from a consumer background ready to step into the world of B2B/technology, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

As a Strategist, you’ll support insight-led work across PR, marketing and new business. You’ll analyse data, shape messaging, write compelling briefs and contribute to campaigns that span creative and comms. You’ll collaborate closely with account teams and creatives, and have autonomy over your work while being part of a flat, supportive team structure.

Key Responsibilities

Insight & Strategy

  • Analyse research, tools and data sets to uncover insights into audience, brand and market
  • Create frameworks, competitor audits, and brand strategy documents
  • Lead or co-host messaging sessions and produce clear, actionable outputs

Creative Contribution

  • Write strong, insight-led creative briefs
  • Support creative development and ensure campaigns stay strategically aligned
  • Use language to inspire, persuade and shape strategic storytelling

Collaboration & Communication

  • Work closely with account and creative teams across integrated projects
  • Play a key role in pitches and new business by contributing insights and campaign ideas
  • Help raise the profile of the strategy team through knowledge sharing and thought starters

Must-haves

  • Previous strategy experience (agency background preferred)
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to turn data into actionable insight
  • Strong copywriting and messaging skills
  • Experience working on creative campaigns or responding to brand/comms briefs
  • Collaborative approach with confidence to present and advise

Nice-to-haves

  • Knowledge of B2B marketing principles
  • Experience working in or with the tech sector
  • Background in consumer strategy with an interest in B2B
  • A strategist—not a media planner

What They Offer

  • Hybrid working (3 days in-office, 2 days remote)
  • WFH kit & broadband allowance
  • Private medical insurance
  • 24 days annual leave + Christmas office closure
  • Inclusive parental leave (6 months full pay for primary carers, 3 months for secondary)
  • Bonus schemes (new business, referrals, monthly performance)
  • Monthly team socials and seasonal parties
  • Structured training and clear career progression
  • Season ticket loan & cycle to work scheme

Why Join?

You’ll be part of a smart, collaborative strategy team in a integrated agency that champions autonomy, insight and originality. If you’re ready to grow, contribute, and help shape standout work – we want to hear from you.

Darain Faraz

Darain’s aversion to confined spaces took root during a fateful screening of ‘Buried,’ a film that immerses its audience in the gripping horror of a man awakening to find himself entombed alive. This intense fear of tight space has left an indelible mark on him. Beyond his mild-claustrophobic tendencies, Darain is also Co-founder of People Like Us, and former Director of Marketing at jobs behemoth LinkedIn internationally. Before his decade+ at LinkedIn, he resided in Australia where he ran comms for WWF’s Earth Hour, and MySpace (remember them?). He’s a regular on Marketing Week + PR Week top 100, has won a raft of industry recognition including the coveted Cannes Lions. But he’s more than his titles and his accolades, he’s a die-hard Kylie Minogue fan too. He has three lively kids and lives in Fiji (yup, you read that right). He also likes to take his shirt off at regular intervals (check out his ‘gram… or better still – don’t).

Mike Levaggi

What could be scarier than being stuck in a toilet cubicle with a wasp nest? Not much for our founder Mike (maybe having his face on a website) but definitely not making our industry fairer. He’s a northerner with Irish and Italian roots. In his 15 years in PR, he’s been a Senior Director of Assembly, head of consumer comms at Snap and a tech & gaming lead at Hope&Glory PR, winning over 50 industry awards. He’s also a former recruiter, the founder of the One Percent diversity initiative and co-founder of the PR Week Pay Gap Project. He’s been called a lot of things, but he’d call himself a problem solver. 

Sheeraz Gulsher

Sheeraz has both a fear and deep fascination of life after death. To face it, he’s taking solace by learning about the origin of world religions and reading the (not so) comforting words of many philosophers. Bit deep, but he’ll be fine, we promise.

Beyond his flirting with existential crises, Sheeraz is co-founder of People Like Us, the award winning non-profit that celebrates and supports professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in journalism, PR and the creative industries. Sheeraz is also an award winning PR professional with over a decade of experience both in-house at Snapchat and Sky, and at agencies including Hope&Glory and PrettyGreen. Sheeraz is a passionate campaigner for equal pay for ethnically diverse working professionals in the UK. He will often mention the one time someone said his celebrity lookalike is Riz Ahmed but in actual fact, he looks more like Bruno Fernandes (minus the sass). Top geezer all round.
