Is this really all that rare?

Apparently so.

Coincidentally I find that there are more creative strategist openings now than usual

There seems to be an industry wide shortage

What title levels are you looking for? I may know someone at the Associate Director level

If you are still looking, I’d love a DM!

I meet your criteria, but I am freelance. I know quite a few brand strategists who do the same thing, but most work for brand consultancies vs. agencies.

Feel welcome to send my way! We def sit closer to the world of brand consultancies.

Is this opportunity open to global/remote? I've got experience in CPG and tech in creative, brand and social strategy (and a background in packaging design, copywriting and naming).

Today for the first time in my career 10+ I gave up. I didn’t quit my job, but I gave up on it. This is certainly not inline with my personal brand, and now has me questioning if I need a “rebrand”. Never had to do that before, my brand professionally and personally was just always my authentic self, I never had to put thought against building (or rebuilding) it. Any tips?
