About the Role

We're looking for a Creative Strategist who lives and breathes ideas — someone who can decode culture, understand people, and connect the two to brand purpose. At Mad Men Marketing, you'll be the thinking partner behind every big idea — helping our teams craft campaigns that don't just sell, but shape conversations.

This is not a data-heavy or theoretical strategy role — it's hands-on, creative, and collaborative. You'll turn insights into ideas, ideas into campaigns, and campaigns into business impact across our diverse set of brands including Dabur, Haldiram's, Bikanervala, Emami, and more.

Partner with Copy, Art, and Production to co-create ideas that are strategically sound and creatively bold.
Build campaign narratives, presentation decks, and pitch strategies that inspire clients and teams alike.

3. Communication Strategy

Design content and media strategies aligned to modern audience behavior — reels, influencer collabs, AI-driven storytelling, etc.
Collaborate with digital and performance teams to connect creative strategy with measurable business outcomes.
Ensure every campaign idea ties back to the brand's core truth and consumer need.

4. Pitches, Presentations & Thought Leadership

Lead strategy sections in client presentations and new business pitches.

Comfortable working in fast-paced creative environments and leading pitches end-to-end.
Fluent in culture, content, and consumer behavior — from memes to market reports.
A strategic thinker who believes great ideas are built on strong insights.
