The Role:

As a Brand Strategist at SuperAwesome, you will be part of a team of experts who are at the heart of enabling our broader team during the pre-sale cycle. Partnering collaboratively across sales, gaming, creators, insights, and customer strategy teams to support our revenue goals. In this role, you’ll use your curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and storytelling capabilities to develop campaign winning strategies.

In this role, you will:

• Partner closely with commercial teams in three key ways: storytelling, ideating, and educating, to differentiate the SuperAwesome brand and our products to win new business, earn repeat business, and secure bigger, more diversified deals.
• You will help internal teams think critically about an agency or client’s needs by providing research and/or insight analysis, and then build narratives that specifically address those needs in order to position SuperAwesome as the most credible and creative partner.
• You will support both complex RFP responses as well as non-RFP based strategic initiatives, like creating a vertical specific playbook or writing a client specific newsletter.
• Brand strategy works “upstream” on deliverables and strategists rarely work alone, so success is always a collaborative effort. But there should be a clear attribution to the work of a Brand Strategist across key areas:
• RFP wins (ideating storytelling): Brand strategy provides ideation and/or narrative support to provide a clear, compelling response to an RFP.
• New outreach and opportunity identification (education storytelling): Brand strategy has used their knowledge of market and client trends to identify a potential new business opportunity and has helped sellers “get smart” in order to engage in meaningful conversations with a specific client, or has used this knowledge of market/client trends to identify a new revenue growth opportunity across clients and has worked with appropriate teams to create new materials for sellers.
  
  

Who you are:

• Able to develop insight backed narratives to respond to a RFP or strategic initiative:
• You are able to think critically about a specific project and develop a narrative approach based on those needs vs. copying/pasting other decks. You think creatively about what data/insights are available, and new ways to tell a story.
• You come to meetings prepared with WIP materials, ready to discuss your POV based on a thorough understanding of the project and your research.
• All narratives will be edited and refined throughout a project’s lifespan, but you need to be able to kick-off the narrative and be able to discuss/refine the narrative based on feedback from internal teams.
• Confident in running projects as the point person:
• As a point person, you will be responsible for developing an approach and initial response to a project, and then work with your manager to refine.
• While we expect you to be able to work independently and take the lead on a project, you will be supported with internal teams, project check-ins and collaborative working sessions.
• Effective at presenting to internal and external teams:
• You are able to effectively communicate insight-driven narratives and ideas to internal and external teams, able to answer any questions, and support the wider team in selling through ideas or opportunities because you are well-versed in the solution.
• You have the highest degree of professional ethics and integrity.
• Always demonstrating our performance principles.
