Job Specifications
Our client is seeking a Freelance Senior Creative Strategist to support origination efforts within an in-house creative organization. This role plays a critical part in translating complex business and marketing challenges into inspiring, actionable creative strategy. The Senior Creative Strategist will partner closely with creative teams to develop strong springboards and briefs that unlock ideas capable of flexing across channels, while remaining aligned to brand platform and business objectives.
This is a freelance engagement with a pay rate range from $70-85/hour.
Responsibilities:
Translate business problems into clear, inspiring creative springboards that offer fresh perspectives and unlock imaginative, on-brand work.
Develop ideas that can travel across channels, with TV as one expression rather than the default, distilling each idea to its core essence.
Partner with creative teams early in development to shape and pressure-test territories, sharpen storytelling, and enable faster, more confident decision-making.
Bring strong human and cultural understanding into the work, grounding ideas in consumer truth, category learning, and outside-in inspiration.
Ensure creative work ladders back to the overarching brand platform while allowing for smart variation by audience, channel, and context.
Raise the bar on strategic craft by producing polished, well-structured decks and presenting ideas clearly and compellingly to senior stakeholders.
Required Qualifications:
7–10+ years of experience in creative strategy or brand strategy, ideally across in-house agencies and/or strong agency environments.
Exceptional creative brief writing skills with the ability to inspire and guide creative teams toward strong ideas.
Strong taste level, editing skills, and ability to evaluate creative work critically and constructively.
Proven experience building high-craft decks and presenting strategy with clarity, confidence, and energy.
Comfort working quickly in ambiguous environments without sacrificing strategic rigor or quality.
Highly collaborative mindset with the ability to partner effectively with creatives and senior stakeholders.
What Success Looks Like:
Creative teams leave briefings with clear direction and compelling springboards, not purely tactical communications.
Fewer rounds in early creative development, with stronger ideas emerging earlier in the process.
Work that feels original, on-platform, and scalable beyond a single execution or channel.
If you meet the required qualifications and are interested in this role, please apply today.
