• Collaborate with designers, content creators, social media specialists, and production teams to ensure creative consistency.
• Present strategic recommendations and creative concepts to clients and internal stakeholders.
• Support the development of pitches and new business opportunities.
• Take ownership of selected projects, coordinating timelines, deliverables, and team activities when required.
• Stay ahead of what’s happening across social platforms, digital culture, creativity, and consumer behavior.

What We are looking for

• Proven experience in creative strategy, brand strategy, or similar roles within a creative, digital, or social-first agency.
• Strong conceptual thinking and the ability to develop original ideas grounded in strategic insights.
• Solid understanding of social media platforms, content formats, digital communication, and emerging cultural trends.
• Excellent writing, storytelling, and presentation skills.
• Ability to develop effective creative briefs and translate strategic thinking into clear creative directions.
• Strong organizational skills, with the flexibility to manage multiple projects and priorities.
• Confidence in collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and managing client relationships.
• A proactive, independent mindset with a strong sense of ownership and attention to detail.
• An interest in luxury, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and contemporary culture is a plus.
• Previous experience coordinating projects or managing creative workflows is highly valued.

Requirements

• English proficiency at C1 level or above, or native-level fluency, is mandatory.
• Full professional proficiency in Italian is required.
• Availability to travel nationally and internationally is mandatory.
• Based in Turin, or willing to work regularly from our Turin office.
