10 or more years of experience are likely to be fundamental to such a level of understanding and thinking - but are not strictly necessary. Proven experience in the world of brands is also probably helpful, but not mandatory. A proven track of creative thinking and execution on a global scale is very important for this position.
Our core team is very compact, by design. A guild. Not a pyramid. We craft every single aspect of a project carefully, in a non-industrial manner. That’s the only way to achieve the level of excellence a project needs to succeed in such a complex and fast-moving world. To be able to be happy working in this position, you need to be comfortable with less. You need to believe that small, mighty teams can achieve anything and everything. You need to nurture a self-generative creative energy, instead of counting on all the layers of management you’d find in more traditional creative structures. You need to be great at imagining, pitching, and launching ideas into the world - at the speed of today’s culture.

You’ve been at the center of big ideas that get brought to life. Your emotional intelligence is high and allows you to gauge the mindset of different audiences.
