This job has now Expired!!

Role: Digital Strategist

Location: London

Start date: ASAP



About us:

Waste is an independent digital creative agency founded in 2006 on the principle of cutting out unnecessary agency fluff in favour of urgency, expertise and a no-fuss attitude. We call this approach ‘Maximum Digital. Minimum Nonsense.’

With offices in London and Los Angeles, we employ 60 specialists covering Strategy, Creative, Social & Web Content, Advertising, Digital Experiential, DOOH, UX and SEO.

Our client list includes Supercell, the mobile gaming giant, for whom we deliver player acquisition and retention built around community listening and high-speed, high-quality content creation. Other entertainment clients are Nintendo, Sega, Warner Brothers, Turner and Ubisoft.

We also provide digital leadership for energy giant Centrica, covering British Gas, Hive, Dyno and Direct Energy. Other clients include dating app Badoo, lottery giant Camelot and media brand family Oath.

The Maximum Digital, Minimum Nonsenseapproach has seen us win more than 50 awards, including: Awwwards, BIMAs, FWA, CIM, Pixels, Lovies, W3 and Webbys.

We’re renowned for brewing our own craft beer, the Waste Pale Ale (WPA), a firm favourite with clients and partners. We also support the UK based gaming charity, SpecialEffect.



What we’re looking for:

Waste is looking for a data-savvy Digital Strategist to join their growing Strategy team.

The Strategy Department help connect the dots between brand challenges, customer needs and cultural trends. We’re curious about the world. We love to know what makes people tick. We look for relationships and motivations that go beneath the surface and get to the heart of consumer behaviour. We ask weird questions. We get excited about data. We write simple briefs with inspirational propositions. We analyse our client’s content (and the competition’s) to find out what’s working, what isn’t, and why. We live to fuel game-changing ideas, effective campaigns and killer content.

Waste is experiencing phenomenal growth, so the successful applicant will need to be able to hit the ground running. We’ll offer on the job training and access to APG courses & similar, but this is not a role (or agency) laden with endless processes or hand-holding.
