Marketing Strategist

King & Partners is hiring for a slightly unusual role.

We are looking for a Marketing Strategist, but not someone sitting in our marketing team coming up with your straightforward everyday digital marketing strategies, we want someone who sits somewhere between marketing, creative, strategy and new business. We're looking for someone who is full of ideas, commercially minded, culturally curious and genuinely understands the world of luxury and hospitality.

Someone who knows what modern marketing actually looks like today - from digital marketing and social to content, partnerships, experiential, media and more traditional channels - and, importantly, knows how to bring all of those pieces together into a really clever strategy. Our clients have very sophisticated brands, highly discerning audiences and complex business challenges.

We need someone who can look at an opportunity and think: What could we do here that would genuinely make a difference?

Someone who can turn insights into original ideas, ideas into strategies, and strategies into compelling stories that get clients excited about what's possible.

If you know someone who is smart, curious, creative, strategic and obsessed with great brands, pls share the link below.

I kindly ask for no DM's. Thank you.

Overview

We’re seeking a creative and commercially minded Marketing Strategist to join our team at the intersection of strategy, marketing and new business.

This person will play a key role in shaping how we present King & Partners to prospective clients – helping them understand not simply what we do, but what we could do for them. Working closely with our strategy, creative, marketing and new business teams, the Marketing Strategist will develop compelling, tailored ideas that demonstrate a deep understanding of a client’s business, audience and opportunity.

A particular focus will be on luxury, hospitality, real estate and lifestyle, where audiences are sophisticated, expectations are high and traditional marketing approaches often fall short. The ideal candidate understands how to engage high-net-worth audiences with intelligence and nuance, balancing brand, culture, storytelling, experience and performance without compromising the integrity of the brand.

This person will report directly to the CEO and CCO.
