Job description:

Join the growing strategy team at Linney.

We’re looking for an experienced, retail-focused creative strategist to support our work for one of the world’s best-known brands.

Experience of the retail or food and drink sectors, either client or agency-side, will give you strong advantage in this role. In any case, you’ll have a good understanding of the challenges of shopper marketing, in both online and bricks-and-mortar retail, and how campaigns can be delivered consistently across channels. You’ll spend most of your time supporting our creative marketing teams working for a market-leading restaurant brand.

You’ll work closely with our in-house Insight team and support our account directors, becoming the go-to resource on the latest retail thinking for our client, and the expert voice on our client’s brand for our Creative teams. You’ll be confident building strategies that work in all today’s channels, from traditional media to digital, moving image and social. You’ll demonstrate strong credentials in brand building and use the whole gamut of influences to keep your creativity and thinking sharp.

Based in our Nottinghamshire head office, you won’t spend all your time at a desk. Not only will you become a familiar and trusted face in our client’s offices in London, you’ll also spend plenty of time in their restaurants, to fully immerse yourself in their brand and culture. 

Essential skills:

You’ll be a creative and strategic thinker, capable of interpreting business challenges and dilemmas and developing and implementing plans to solve them. Smart, persuasive and thorough, you’ll be happy presenting to senior stakeholders, and you’ll have the confidence to challenge when you need to along with the expertise to back up your arguments.

Desirable skills:

Experience of the retail or food and drink sectors, either client or agency-side, will give you strong advantage in this role.
