This position is responsible for providing a perspective in creating and implementing strategies that raise the level of agency work across our clients' brands. This role also needs someone to help advance the evolution of the Insight & Strategy Group through the development of Disruption (the driving philosophy of all the TBWA\Group companies), new methodologies, approaches and original thinking. You understand business and driving action, you are full of ideas and you are clear in articulating them for mutual benefit to both agency and clients.
In particular, you would:
* Lead the strategic charge on our very integrated Pella Window and Door Company business — from brand building to developing strategies that drive sales.
* Provide audience insights, including shopping and buying behavior across all projects. And then lead (or at least influence) creative strategy with compelling and thoughtful application of these insights.
* Know what is going on — evaluate business/communication problems and mine existing data, trends, blogs, etc — to properly frame and attack marketing assignments. Also have a strong familiarity with alternative media types, social media and the changing role they play in audience strategies.
* Develop and socialize new planning tools, models and methodologies including those relating to audience planning and shopper insights.

* Some experience working with retail brands and/or retailer activation.
* You have a passion for home shelter brands or home improvement project (we pull on our personal experience all the time!) would be a big plus.
