As a Junior Executive Planning & Strategy, you'll work closely with planners, creatives, and digital teams to decode briefs, dig into research, spot patterns, and help turn insights into strong brand and digital strategies. This is a learning-heavy, thinking-first role at the heart of an agency.
Responsibilities:
- Break down client briefs and business problems into clear, simple takeaways.
- Understand the client's world, brand, category, competition, and the agency's role.
- Read reports (sales, market, trend, culture) and extract what actually matters.
- Support brand thinking with a basic understanding of branding fundamentals (emotional vs rational, branded vs unbranded).
- Research trends, culture, categories, and competitors and present sharp summaries.
- Know the difference between an observation and a real insight (and aim for the latter).
- Use free tools like Google Trends and social platform insights to back thinking with data.
- Help shape clear, inspiring briefs for creative and digital teams.
- Actively collect, document, and share great work, ideas, and case studies (probleminsightideaexecution).
- Support planning across digital channels, understanding what works where, and why.
- Learn how consumer and experience journeys play out across platforms.
- Assist with basic performance tracking and reporting (traffic, sources, bounce rate, conversions).
- Build a foundational understanding of SEO, SEM, effectiveness metrics, ROI, and impact measurement.

- Genuine curiosity about brands, people, culture, and digital behaviour
- Strong research and analytical skills with the ability to simplify complex information
- Clear written and verbal communication
- Comfort with data, decks, and documentation
- A proactive, organised mindset and eagerness to learn

- A collaborative agency environment where ideas matter

- Space to grow, ask questions, and build your point of view
