About the Role

As a Strategy Director, you are a leader who helps frame opportunities on the account. You're a partner with account, creative, and project management. Through directly managing or mentoring junior strategists, you reinforce your skillset. You both delegate and get hands-on to train by example. You have a perspective on brands & consumers, and you speak from knowledge and experience, granting you authority.

What You’ll Do

Client Management

  • Establish yourself as a trusted advisor to clients on all things about brand and communications and a critical part of the client-facing leadership team from the agency.
  • Manage client expectations based on priorities and arrange the client's assignments orderly and efficiently.
  • Understand the client's business model and challenges to provide points of view and solutions beyond communication (e.g., marketing, business perspective).

Strategy

Your focus as a Strategy Director:

  • Lead a mid-sized client or be the deputy on large clients.
  • Propose the direction of the company/product future development and positioning based on market and macro trends, making Ogilvy a strategic partner, and engage in dialogue with clients regarding business strategy.
  • Lead pitches and determine project directions.
  • Run various workshops (e.g., Big IdeaL and Fusion) and engage in discussions about other strategies such as engagement, social, and data to spot opportunities.
  • Inspire those around you to create and deliver better strategic work.
  • Coach and develop junior strategists in your team and support the broader agency strategy team.
  • Participate in company-wide training on brand & engagement strategies.
  • Conduct qualitative and quantitative research plans; analyze third-party vendors to ensure quality of service.

The skills you learn and apply:

  • Learn to be a leader: support and inspire those around you to achieve their goals.
  • Flex your approach according to different situations and audiences.
  • Coach others to shape their arguments without overwriting them.
  • Become commercially aware and spot growth opportunities for clients and the agency.
  • Scope, shape, resource, and price projects profitably.

Creative Leadership

  • Provide clear briefs to creative teams and collaborate with creative and account teams to manage client work.
  • Assist in creative idea development with trend analysis and case studies to enhance creative output.
  • Ensure creative content is relevant to client business through integrated communication and collaboration.
What You’ll Need
  • Bachelor's degree or above, not limited to advertising major.
  • Proficiency in English reading skills.
  • Approximately 9-15 years of experience, with more than 8 years in advertising & communication.
  • Capability is the critical criterion for Director level candidates; working experience is a reference.

Ogilvy celebrates its people. Fully. Enthusiastically. Unhesitatingly. We empower you with the tools you need to succeed, providing the autonomy to seek new paths and better ways of doing things, and support from colleagues who are experts in their disciplines.
