Hambi Media (ECD) is the creative engine of the Soar Group - the UK's #1 independent Meta agency group. We've put £300M+ of Meta spend through our data warehouse, and our Creative Strategy department is the group's biggest revenue driver - producing performance creative across High Production video, UGC, and Static design for 7-9 figure DTC and e-commerce brands. We manage over £100M in ad spend yearly and operate 13 creative pods. You'll join a six-person Creative Strategy leadership team: the Chief Creative Officer, the Head of Creative Strategy, three Creative Leads, and you. Your remit is unique within that team - you are the bridge between our Growth Strategy function and our Creative Strategy function. The lines between these two departments are blurring fast, and the next evolution of the work demands strategists who think in both languages simultaneously. Our Creative Strategists are some of the most talented creative thinkers in the industry. But to deliver on our strategic ambition - moving the department from executional throughput to the strategic spine of every client relationship - they need to be equipped to connect creative work to advanced performance, distribution, offer, growth strategy, and the wider commercial system in which our creative lives. That's where you come in.

You'll also tap into our £600M+ Meta data warehouse to surface the macro creative insights, trends, and tactical plays that compound across every account in the book. This is a Creative Lead-level role with a department-wide focus. You won't own a pod or run an account directly, but 40% of your time is still billable - embedded in the strategic support of the four Senior Creative Strategists you'll manage, coaching their thinking on the accounts they own. The other 60% is split across cross-departmental up-skilling, performance constraint work, macro reporting, and cross-function synergising.
