Brand Creative is the Art of Storytelling. We tell powerful, meaningful stories across the entire brand ecosystem, leveraging all existing and new platforms to encourage, enable and engage athletes*, while driving brand distinction and business impact.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

As a London Brand Creative Strategist, you will build the voice that expresses the heart and soul of the Nike brand, leveraging athletes, communities, products, and services to encourage our consumers through the power of storytelling.

You have experience when it comes to directing other creatives and will be familiar with working in close partnership with writers, designers, and producers. You are able to understand, participate in and influence strategic conversations, partnering with broader marketing teams to define the creative brief, and can lead others through creative conception, development, and execution.

You have proven experience working at scale and can lead complex work streams independently – managing and prioritising your time as needed. You’re outstanding at crafting the detail from the writing of a brief all the way to execution, using your experience to teach others around you.

You’re able to connect the dots between culture and sport and find the common ground between a brand and its consumers. You are an innovative problem solver, constantly seeking new ways to connect with consumers through new and existing platforms and ecosystems.

If you’re excited by the role, but feel like your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you. You might just be the right candidate for this or other roles.

WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON?

You are the one leading and championing creative concepts and storytelling from London to the World as part of the London Brand Creative Studio team. You will help power brand-defining campaigns in London around key city moments or involving key city assets. And you will power our priority strategic dimensions in London throughout the year.

Working closely with the creative leadership team, you’ll be responsible for crafting the future vision of the brand across every consumer touchpoint. And you’ll encourage and lead innovative thinking, collaboration, and teamwork, to encourage the Brand Creative function.

You will lead and mentor others, guiding their growth through considered and consistent feedback, rewarding their achievements whilst also recognising their opportunities to develop.

You will need to communicate your concepts to various internal and external audiences. As a creative lead, you’ll be responsible for taking on feedback from partners and driving the development of work to ensure that all work is delivered on time.

WHO WILL YOU WORK WITH?

Day-to-day you’ll work with a team of Art Directors, Designers, Producers, and Writers, leading project teams across multiple workstreams. Beyond the Nike London Brand Creative core team, you will also work with external creative partners. You will collaborate with your counterparts across the EMEA to ensure consistency across our work and help establish and develop our creative network.

Within the broader Marketing organisation, you will work closely with other teams such as Brand Marketing, Direct Marketing, and Culture Marketing to strategize around the annual concept map, developing and delivering creative that answers the brief.

  • Proven creative experience in editorial, content marketing, advertising, brand marketing, or a related field
  • Experience leading creative projects & mentoring junior individuals in the team
  • Proven understanding of end-to-end creative and production processes
