Strategy Director
Published 6 months ago · Barcelona office
We’re B-Reel — an independent creative agency that operates at the intersection of storytelling, technology and culture. Born in Sweden and with 4 nimble offices in Europe and the US, we’ve organized ourselves around change and forward motion since 1999. We try to live, hire, work and play according to one simple belief: The most interested people make the most interesting things.
In Barcelona, interesting means not being a conventional agency, mixing brand and product innovation, being thinkers and doers simultaneously and far away from the Spanish modus operandi of both clients and agencies. We work in a modern international environment for global clients who dream big, a perfect blend of high-tech companies - like Google or Twitch - and luxury brands - such as Moncler and the LVMH Group.
We are looking for an experienced Strategy Director to join our expanding team – someone who is a proven leader, to start the Strategy department within the Barcelona office, supported by the local Senior Leadership Team and the global infrastructure, lead by our CSO.
The role of the Strategy Director is to be a leading force in our business, by providing thought leadership, and empowering our teams to create world-class work, from brand stories to digital ecosystems. Growing our relationships and presence through results-driven solutions, based on research, data analysis and insights.
We are not looking for traditional strategy people, but individuals who have a point of view on the world and a burning ambition to challenge the status quo. We are on an exciting journey as an agency and want people who are looking to help build something different.
