About this role

WHY DEPT®? We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA. We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done.

It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter. At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build. THE ROLE: We’re looking for a Creative Strategist who is equally creative and data-driven—someone who can translate performance metrics into actionable creative strategies, and build messaging frameworks that resonate with audiences.

You’ll serve as both a client-facing strategic partner and an internal champion of creative testing, helping global brands unlock growth through smarter, more resonant advertising. This role requires comfort operating in two worlds: With creative stakeholders (e.g., Art Directors, Designers, Brand Managers), you’ll speak to messaging strategy, audience insights, and barriers to entry. With growth-focused stakeholders, you’ll analyze KPIs and provide clear recommendations for testing, iteration, and optimization through hands-on data analysis.

WHAT YOU’LL DO Strategy & Leadership Develop creative briefs and campaign strategies that address audience barriers, unlock opportunities for new audiences, and drive measurable performance. Analyze why creative concepts succeed or underperform, and propose testing strategies or iterations rooted in data and audience insight. Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, fluent in both creative and performance conversations and able to navigate with ease.

Build strong, trusted client relationships by consistently delivering excellence through strategic solutions. Anticipate client needs, providing clear, data-driven recommendations and ensuring all work is polished, on-brand, and aligned to the brief. Creative & Media Integration Write creative and media briefs that translate product, brand, and audience insights into high-performing concepts, grounded in performance data and prior testing.
