Strategist, CPG/Retail

Tracking Code 13608-094 Job Description ****

**WHY YOULL LOVE THIS JOB**

We believe that what a brand does is more important than what it sayswe want you to help brands do amazing, unprecedented, wild things, creating experiences that people never forget.

**WHY YOULL LOVE DOING IT AT MOMENTUM**

Because the idea that a brands action is more important than its rhetoric is the key to our entire approach. It is all about the experience and we canhands down, bar- nonecreate that better than anyone else. Thats not jargon or egoits truth.

Experience creates the connections that lead to loyalty, advocacy and sales. So we imagine and create those things here, in what we call the total brand experience. And how we do it is with genius, dedication, strategic thinking and working together as collective groups. Before you get any ideas, its important you know were serious about taking care of each other here. So think on that. We work too closely not to have fun together. We work too smart not to make the world better. And we work too well not to continually push for more. Think on all that, too.

**WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR**

We are looking for a candidate who embodies 3 attributes, which we believe make an excellent strategist:

**Curiosity**

Questions come naturally to you. You are someone who constantly seeks more information about a clients challenge, a product, a target audience, or a cultural trend. You have a tenacity to get to the bottom of things and wont rest until theres clarity and focus behind a challenge.

**Creativity**

Youre not afraid to share a new perspective. While youre not responsible from coming up with creative ideas, you feel comfortable identifying and pushing for new ways to solve problems. Whether its repositioning a clients objective, seeking new information about our target audience to identify deeper needs, or coming up with jump-off points for creatives, you bring in a fresh perspective that turns an assignment from a job into an exciting challenge.

**Care**

You are motivated by amazing ideas. Thing about amazing ideas is that they dont just appear, but grow and cultivate over time. Youre someone who cares to push and build ideas, share proactive thoughts and new findings, and steer thinking towards better meeting our clients objectives, even if the creative briefing is already done.
