Creative Marketing Strategist

As a Creative Marketing Strategist at Ladder, your mission will involve:

- Coming up with cool new ideas and strategies (and the obligatory slide decks) to help us grow our clients.
- Managing a diverse portfolio of clients. Including, helping to define creative strategy to build and protect their brands through various stages of creative development.
- Managing freelance designers and writers to bring our vision to life, keeping on brand and on message.
- Keeping a close eye on the quality of ads we put out. Yep, that means consistency with the brand and creative strategy again.
- Putting your thinking cap on to research who would be interested in buying what our clients are selling.
- Working as part of the team to assess a company's strengths and develop brand positioning.
- Keeping that thinking cap on when you research and develop creative ideas for new creative campaigns.
- Diving into the performance data to see which ads are working. Then, breaking it down to see which creative routes are doing the best, and for which personas.
- Being a real part of the team - contributing ideas to improve the department, be it new services, internal processes or other initiatives.
- Joining client calls to listen and learn, building an idea of the brand through participation in workshops.
- Problem-solving. Issues with briefs, delivery, resourcing crop up. Take a look at the problem and either work with other teams (social, search, digital strategy) to resolve, or know when to escalate.
- Housekeeping - Keeping a close eye on the planned work for the creative department vs the number of creative hours available.

- High Emotional IQ -The ability to deliver tough feedback in a constructive manner - protecting the delicate creative ego whilst telling them it is all wrong is a true skill
- Team player - make decisions that are for the good of the group - we’re in it together.
- Own it - Whether it’s something you're really proud of or something you’d rather forget (we all make mistakes). We want to be a place where we win together, lose together - and that starts with each of us taking responsibility for delivering the best we can. All-day. Every day
