Brand Strategist

About The Ready House:

The Ready House is a strategic creative partner helping businesses that have physical spaces create landmark destinations and communities. We operate at the intersection of culture, commerce, and content, blending proprietary data with creative execution. Our work spans brand strategy, content, design, and digital, helping businesses connect online and offline in meaningful ways.

We’re at an exciting stage of growth, re-pivoting our focus to own the intersection between digital and physical experiences, with community at the heart of everything we do. Our proprietary WAY IIN (Interrogating Culture, Instigating Stories, Navigating Change) tool enables us to deeply analyse cultural and audience insights, ensuring brands stay ahead.

Proudly independent, London-based, but globally minded and widely connected.

The Role:

As a Midweight Strategist, you’ll play a critical role in shaping brand narratives and ensuring our clients’ strategies evolve with consumer trends. This role is about thinking big and executing effectively, bridging long-term brand direction with short-term impactful moments.

You will work across two core areas:

Brand Strategy & Big Thinking:

• Lead master strategies that define a brand’s overall direction, ensuring alignment across social, content, and production.

• Develop ‘Big-Step Thinking’ every quarter—helping brands set a tone for the months ahead by analysing cultural shifts, customer behaviour, and wider trends.

• Work closely with our social and production teams to translate big ideas into executable, high-impact brand moments.

• Be the strategic voice across client projects, ensuring ideas and creative execution align with overarching business goals.

Client Management & Coordination:

• Act as a trusted partner to clients, understanding their short-term and long-term objectives.

• Work alongside the Design, Production, and Social teams to ensure seamless execution of creative ideas.

• Be a key liaison, ensuring strategy is informed by real-time audience insights, brand performance, and cultural relevance.

• Support business development by helping to pitch new clients and expand existing relationships.

Who We’re Looking For:

We want someone who is:

• Curious & Insight-Driven: You’re naturally inquisitive, with the ability to carve out narratives from multiple inputs.

• Inspiring & High-Energy: You bring energy to projects and rally teams around big ideas.

• Strategic & Agile: You can think long-term but pivot quickly based on data and cultural shifts.

• A Strong Communicator: Able to present ideas and articulate brand strategies both internally and externally.

• Digitally & Physically-Minded: You understand ‘physical’ spaces – how brands interact both online and offline to create memorable experiences.

• A Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment, working across strategy, design, production, and social teams.

Why Join Us?

• Join an agency redefining how physical spaces build brand communities.

• Be part of a young, talented team where culture is at the heart of everything.

• Work with innovative brands in retail, hospitality, and experience sectors.

• Shape the future of brands with your strategic thinking.

• Collaborate with in-house teams across strategy, design, production, and development.

• Enjoy 25 days annual leave, birthdays off, and a competitive salary (£30–32k), plus private healthcare and travel insurance.
