Brand Strategist

We’re looking for a Brand Strategist to join our growing strategy and research practice. You will be a key member of our team, thinking strategically and creatively as you consult with clients across a range of industries on engagements including market research, positioning, message development, naming, and brand architecture. As a Brand Strategist on our team, you will be responsible for developing and owning specific deliverables for client engagements. You will work closely with our Head of Strategy and Research, our Partners, and our team of writers, designers, developers, and project managers.

What you’ll be a part of:

We’re a strategically led, digitally-focused branding agency driven by a desire to shape what’s next. We help our clients ignite change and accelerate success — whether by increasing the power and clarity of their brands, amplifying their story, or seizing the emerging market opportunities that are essential to growth. We help clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to nonprofit organizations unlock value and build lasting connections with the audiences that matter most. Our diverse client list keeps our teams sharp, and our thinking fresh.

Here are a few characteristics that define us:

• We’re close-knit — we have each other’s backs, no matter what
• We’re open and collaborative — with each other, and with clients
• We’re energetic — we never stop thinking, questioning, and evolving
• We’re dog-friendly — our pooches keep us smiling and keep the vibe in the office

What you’ll do as a team member:

• Contribute to the discovery and development of brand platforms, naming, and content strategy
• Synthesize insights from a range of inputs (e.g., client research, best practices, market trends) to accurately frame the situation
• Conduct research including stakeholder interviews, workshops, and brand and digital audits
• Organize and coordinate the development and flow of client presentations
• Serve as a key point-person with clients and other stakeholders, helping to manage expectations and facilitate discussions
• Collaborate with internal strategy and creative teams to develop thinking; as well as with preferred partners specializing in related areas such as copywriting, SEO and quantitative research studies
• Contribute to creating proposals for new and organic business

What you’ll bring to Sequel:

• 3+ years of branding agency or equivalent experience
• Outstanding communications, writing, and interpersonal skills
• A passion for problem-solving and creating compelling ideas and stories
• Ability to connect the dots and understand client implications
• Enthusiasm for working with a diverse group of colleagues and clients
• Optimism, confidence, curiosity, and willingness to take ownership

Salary Range: $110–$130K (salary is based on experience and qualifications)

We are working a hybrid work model — 3 days in the office (Tues, Wed, Thurs) and 2 days remote, or as is considered safe.
