PLACED: Business Development Director, $100-125K plus+; NYC

Are you someone who isn’t afraid to take risks and be creative? Come join the agency that creates innovative cultural movements for exceptional brands.

We’re looking for a self-starter who will design and build a growth engine for a collective of imaginative and thoughtful folks whose clients are progressive brands seeking new ways of doing things; clients who say “why not” more than they say “why.” At core, you’ll be part of a creative problem solving company that uses insight, strategy, and imagination to get clients unstuck. Your goal is to discover, reel in, and ultimately catch those misfit clients. As such, you should have a history of leading pitches, closing deals, defining and executing agency marketing strategy, crafting RFPs, archiving assets, etc. Please have Vision (yes, with a capital V) and personal magnetism that matches your smarts. Be human, creative and full of energy; resourcefulness, flexibility, individual passions, and confidence mixed with quirkiness are highly valued. These guys believe the purpose of a job is to expand your horizons and give you less of a reason to hit the snooze button in the mornings. With that in mind they’ve designed jobs that will give you responsibility and control, a canvas for your creativity and plenty of room to stretch yourself and grow. Open to exploring candidates with 5-10 years of experience. Prior agency/design/marketing experience is a must-have. Assertive, driven, and passionate folks, please apply.

Sounds great? Please shoot your resume/portfolio to hunter@thehuntinglodgenyc.com.

Account Management

PLACED: Managing Director, US; $200K+; NYC

Expert. Leader. Business focused. Curious. Accountable. Detail driven. Adventurous. Humble.

Take the reins at a leading global design shop and strategic creative consultancy that takes a different approach to building brands that profit and prosper, today and tomorrow. With respectful defiance, they challenge clients by asking bigger questions that will deliver smarter, future-proofed solutions. Teams work without borders, being where and when they need to be, to create braver strategies that ignite all-encompassing brand programs that resonate with consumers and drive commercial success. With a legacy of design excellence and deep consumer understanding, the agency puts those strategies into action, executing consistent and compelling communications that transform brand fortunes, solidifying their place in the world. Beyond brand guardianship, their thrill comes from innovation projects that cause positive disruption in the market. Stimulated by creative thinking, you’ll help inspire clients to not only challenge categories but to conceive entirely new ones, to transform obstacles into opportunities, and to take up an ambition to usher in momentous change that will truly benefit people’s lives.

A well-seasoned strategic leader, the Managing Director’s role is to be the complimentary counterpart to the CEO, helping to align the operational, client relationship and cultural success of the agency; also responsible for implementing and driving US strategy and for delivering US financial performance. This will be the person who gets stuff done and empowers others to perform at their best. Initially the focus will be driving new positioning and proposition of the company offer, to future proof collective commercial success, differentiate the brand offer and fuel growth in new market areas. This will include leadership, direction and performance assessment of the US team. In addition this role will drive new business development, through pitch mentoring, participation where necessary, and external brand building activities. Also expect senior level/C-suite engagement of key client relationships.

You will have a fundamental understanding of the branding industry and the ability to get under the skin of clients and understand what makes them tick. You must understand what clients want from their agency and have the ability to help deliver it. The successful MD will be a natural strategist and thought leader who will help build, inspire and nurture a strong and collaborative team; ensuring reporting on revenue, utilization and profitability; and managing to target levels of revenue growth and profit. Highly connected and passionate, you are client and business driven (grow existing clients, revive old contacts, and above all get new clients) and believe that branding and visual design are the cornerstones of a long-term powerful consumer connection.

Seeking candidates with proven agency management experience, an entrepreneurial spirit, a strong network and a track record for securing new business and growing existing client business. With a start-up spirit, you are graduated from a business communication university and have 12-15+ years of experience working in a design/ad agency or similar. CPG experience a plus.

Analytics, Strategy

PLACED: Group Strategy Director, $200K, NYC

Are you a creative problem-solver who can think big, is a student of culture and is passionate about ideas? Come join the agency that creates buzz-worthy cultural conversation for exceptional brands.

You are a strategic, curious and creative leader who can drive business from strategy development through final execution. You have a proactive, accountability-first, leadership sensibility with a hands-on work style and ability to guide day-to-day activity as necessary. The Strategy team uses their business acumen and experience in conducting interesting research, identifying solid insights (across consumer, culture, category and company), writing concise briefs, inspiring great creative work that is strategically sound, and presenting the same convincingly. You’ll develop brand essence and other strategic deliverables, and in collaboration with Media colleagues, own creation of campaign architecture and communications planning that will guide campaign development. You will have day-to-day responsibilities on marquee clients and should be equally comfortable leading C-Suite relationships as well as rolling up your sleeves and getting scrappy. You can find the human insight to solve a business problem and further develop that idea into actionable and superior creative executions.

We need someone who’s a nerd about strategic craft. Authorship is central to all the agency does –storytelling is their art – especially in service of smart business and brand building opportunity. We need someone with a strong toolbox for creating and directing strategic efforts – experience across categories and clients – and some seasoning in leading teams and businesses. We need someone with a cultural nose – an inner passion to know the code behind the passions people subscribe to – and a range of work that shows experience translating insight across problems, businesses and brands. We need someone who likes to get into the brain of the businesses. Strategic power can be most valuable in story-selling – so it’s important to see evidence that insights and ideas are leveraged to elevate the brand IQ of clients and their creative work.

Please… be collaborative and welcoming; people need to feel they can ask for your help and actively involve you in discussions with clients and amongst the team. You are quick thinking and smart, able to debate complex issues with clients at length and under pressure. To that end, you likely have a natural authority and can clearly and brilliantly express complex ideas simply. However, you need to act in an ‘open’ way, responding openly to client questions, seeking information from other parties and sharing the knowledge you have. Your ‘can do’ spirit is infectious and attractive to both colleagues and clients. Category diversity is a plus; 12-15+ years strategic planning experience a must.
