&lt;p&gt;We build strategies, develop ideas and deliver at scale, creating experiences that change the status quo for some of the world’s most exciting brands - across our core offers of Consulting, Destinations, Content and Live.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get to ground-breaking ideas, we start with unexpected combinations. Research shows that the greatest accelerator of creativity is the diversity of talent in the team, and we actively recruit for unique individuals who embody our core beliefs and demonstrate the behaviors that underpin Independent Creativity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our relationship with Ford was initiated over four decades ago. Today, Ford Motor Company is a pillar client for whom Imagination works globally. Our primary responsibility, as a long-standing partner agency, is delivering connected experiences across channels, supporting Ford’s dialogue with diverse audiences, external and internal. Ford looks to Imagination for breakthrough experiences, whether auto show exhibitions, product launches, media presentations or training programs.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Residency Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Candidates who are not US citizens or US permanent residents need to have authorization to work in the US in order to apply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Core Beliefs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have identified four foundational beliefs that underpin Independent Creativity. More powerful than generic corporate values, they motivate us to act, to foster the behaviors that lead to success:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;curiosity&lt;/strong&gt; is the root of original insights and ideas... so we look at the world with fresh eyes, we experiment, invent and up-end conventions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;rigor&lt;/strong&gt; results in better choices... so we ask precise, provocative questions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;bravery&lt;/strong&gt; tames the unknown... so we demand ambition, confident that together we can meet ‘never been done before challenges’.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;respect&lt;/strong&gt; builds stronger teams and continued success... so we recognize the uniqueness and unique potential in each individual, we are accountable to each other, we play as a team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination is an equal opportunity employer, committed to a culturally diverse workforce. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIVERSITY, EQUITY &amp;amp; INCLUSION STATEMENT &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are more than just words, and more than a legal framework or a moral obligation - they are guiding principles that, when acted upon, make us stronger, more innovative and more creative as an organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We commit to not only significantly increasing our efforts to effect change today, but also to ensure that our efforts will be sustained for the long-term. To support us on this journey we have appointed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Board to help shape our plans to bring about positive change, to help us learn and keep us all moving forward together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe the responsibility for a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace ultimately rests with all of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe that all employees should feel a sense of belonging at Imagination - regardless of their race, religion or belief, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability or background.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe racism has no place within our workplace or our work culture and we reject all forms of hatred, prejudice, intolerance and discrimination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe that Black Lives Matter and it is our expectation that all employees become actively committed to making unbiased choices and are anti-racist in everything they do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Imagination community must share and live these beliefs, as diversity makes us stronger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our priority is humanity and our efforts toward a more diverse, more equitable and more inclusive workplace are never done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our relationship with Ford was initiated over four decades ago. Today Ford Motor Company is a pillar client for whom Imagination works globally. Our primary responsibility, as a long-standing partner agency, is delivering experiential communication across channels,supporting Ford’s dialogue with diverse audiences, external and internal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strategy at Imagination&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination&#39;s type of strategist is highly creative, which is a big part of why we put &#39;creative&#39; in the title. We collaborate as a team, bringing our collective intelligence and creativity together. The role of the creative strategist would be to help develop&amp;nbsp;strategic&amp;nbsp;territories and work with the rest of the team to turn these territories into effective and inspiring creative.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Role Overview:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detailed responsibilities:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand client businesses (now and near future), with a focus on their success criteria&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Begin to foster excellent working relationships with relevant, specified clients in Research, Marketing and Media Communications, such that you are their trusted “voice of the consumer”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand and articulate the particular benefits of experiential marketing, and how experiential can work with/be amplified by other marketing channels&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Liaison with other agencies as needed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Focus on ROI and metrics – what are we learning from the data, how can we demonstrate the effectiveness of our work, and agree business opportunities for future experiences&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand and keep a finger on the pulse of the complex, shifting content landscape, thinking all the time about how to fully leverage the power of experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will digest and distill information into simple, compelling ideas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will develop conceptual ideas that succinctly address&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The problem&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Key audiences and insights&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The simple story (expressed in a simple, powerful way)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The multichannel structure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ROI and performance metrics – owning all aspects of the reporting and strategic conclusions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Breadth and depth across a project will be needed to help define problems worth solving for internal and external audiences&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of the right angle on a story, getting to the heart of the human truth above and beyond a new fact&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will help create big, conceptual ideas and nurture them across a variety of executional platforms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will be part of the pitch process for new projects and work with the account team to ensure the brief we challenge ourselves with is rich and fertile and will meet and exceed the expectations of our client&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will be an ambassador for Imagination’s role as experiential agency, transforming business through creativity&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;With your help, the Ford team will tell single-minded and compelling narratives for audiences with ever-changing needs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will develop a firm grasp of Ford’s priority audiences, with a particular focus towards better understanding women, millennials, African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will be a champion of diversity – from seeking out different perspectives to ensuring a variety of viewpoints are represented in our work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manage internal resource and databases to:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prioritize multiple requests from the business for assistance, and focus on those where you can have significant and immediate impact&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Access databases and other information sources to identify pertinent facts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Synthesize facts, trends and other information to derive actionable insights&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Present the above to multiple audiences, internal and client, with different levels of understanding, and gain acceptance of your recommendations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work with the Creative teams within Imagination to ensure that our creative responses are clearly based on your recommendations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work with Strategy Director and the Creative and Account Management teams to devise appropriate targets for event/program results&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Present our proposals alongside Creative and Account Management colleagues, and achieve client buy-in&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work with internal and external teams to monitor event/program results in real-time, suggest course-corrections as necessary, and formally report back at the conclusion of the event/program.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Experience and skills required:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with helping to develop strategically informed conceptual ideas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An excellent command of English, with a flair for engaging expression that inspires action.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A creative background is preferable, be it in visual communication, crafts or production – you will be working with, inspiring and uniting many creative specialists towards a common goal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A strong understanding of and curiosity for the shifting content landscape.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An ability to articulate and present ideas in a compelling way&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A love of working with people and a strong desire to help them achieve success. You understand their ambitions and the organizational constraints they work under, and give them confidence to see what’s possible&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;While we highly value collaboration, we also require an ability to be self-driven, to work autonomously and be responsible for meeting critical deadlines, especially given the current WFH climate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A strong degree of comfort with working remotely and spending a significant amount of time ‘on camera’ for Webex/virtual video calls as needed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Some experience with complex strategic marketing projects across different channels. You have probably worked for international blue chip clients (B2B and B2C)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A very big picture thinker, able to create exciting concepts and a strong point of view, and then translate them immediately into highly actionable, executable insights&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience of working in a very fast-changing environment, in which projects and deliverables change frequently. We can’t stress this enough – if you’re a “set and forget” individual, then this role is not for you&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A fast and thorough researcher – you will probably regularly access information sources that are new to us&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A love of delving into business issues and solving real-world problems. You know what the current big issues are, and what’s likely to change in the next five years&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Outstanding communication skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Individuals and teams want to listen to you (and not just because you’re right). You’ll build relationships with individuals and internal departments, and know how to foster collaboration across multiple stakeholders, at all levels of the organization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Empathetic but also able to offer direct, constructive feedback, helping individuals and departments to see others’ point of view and arrive quickly at mutually agreed next steps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A positive, can-do attitude along with the ability to work across a wide range of projects, often to tight deadlines&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Intelligent, ambitious and highly motivated team player with a commitment to quality and professionalism&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calm under pressure, extremely organized, pro-active with good interpersonal skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flexible, patient, able to prioritize, a good negotiator&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Values&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Transforming business through creativity underpins all Imagination’s activities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination has values that set us apart from other communications agencies.&amp;nbsp; These values and talents are the reason we stand out, they demonstrate what we stand for and are the things we most want to be known for.&amp;nbsp;They are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inspiring&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;We breathe life into ideas, creating exciting opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insightful&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;We demonstrate a deep understanding in all we do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Committed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;We work together, delivering positive results for Imagination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collaborative&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;We are totally dedicated to Imagination, our clients and our work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Like a cross between McKinsey and IDEO, Imagination is equal parts right and left brain. The experiential marketing agency that refuses to be defined as an experiential marketing agency continues to refine the realm of live with some of the deepest strategies, the most mind-minding designs and teams staffed with some of the most elite marketers on the planet. With 13 offices in nine countries, celebrating its 50&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; birthday with some of the most complex, integrated, connected brand experience programs in its history.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Strategy

Creative Strategist

&lt;p&gt;Imagination’s Investor Communications division is looking for talented scriptwriters with a particular – and proven – interest in financial communications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will know how to create compelling stories about companies that are seeking capitalization. Some of these will already be household names, some of them will be companies that will create our future. All of them need to explain their value through executive presentations and videos, and all of them need to find their voice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an opportunity to create narratives and assets that really will shape the business environment in the US and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Analyze company objectives and recommend story arcs that will help the company achieve its goals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work with diverse teams, including clients, banks, lawyers, video directors and other creatives, to define assets (videos, presentations, web content) that need to be created&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We have identified four foundational beliefs that underpin Independent Creativity. More powerful than generic corporate values, they motivate us to act, to foster the behaviors that lead to success:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;curiosity&lt;/strong&gt; is the root of original insights and ideas... so we look at the world with fresh eyes, we experiment, invent and up-end conventions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;rigor&lt;/strong&gt; results in better choices... so we ask precise, provocative questions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;bravery&lt;/strong&gt; tames the unknown... so we demand ambition, confident that together we can meet ‘never been done before challenges’.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;respect&lt;/strong&gt; builds stronger teams and continued success... so we recognize the uniqueness and unique potential in each individual, we are accountable to each other, we play as a team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination is an equal opportunity employer, committed to a culturally diverse workforce. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIVERSITY, EQUITY &amp;amp; INCLUSION STATEMENT &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are more than just words, and more than a legal framework or a moral obligation - they are guiding principles that, when acted upon, make us stronger, more innovative and more creative as an organisation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We commit to not only significantly increasing our efforts to effect change today, but also to ensure that our efforts will be sustained for the long-term. To support us on this journey we have appointed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Board to help shape our plans to bring about positive change, to help us learn and keep us all moving forward together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe the responsibility for a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace ultimately rests with all of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe that all employees should feel a sense of belonging at Imagination - regardless of their race, religion or belief, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability or background.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe racism has no place within our workplace or our work culture and we reject all forms of hatred, prejudice, intolerance and discrimination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe that Black Lives Matter and it is our expectation that all employees become actively committed to making unbiased choices and are anti-racist in everything they do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Imagination community must share and live these beliefs, as diversity makes us stronger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our priority is humanity and our efforts toward a more diverse, more equitable and more inclusive workplace are never done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Core Beliefs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have identified four foundational beliefs that underpin Independent Creativity. More powerful than generic corporate values, they motivate us to act, to foster the behaviors that lead to success&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;curiosity&lt;/strong&gt; is the root of original insights and ideas... so we look at the world with fresh eyes, we experiment, invent and up-end conventions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;rigor&lt;/strong&gt; results in better choices... so we ask precise, provocative questions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;bravery&lt;/strong&gt; tames the unknown... so we demand ambition, confident that together we can meet ‘never been done before challenges’.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We believe &lt;strong&gt;respect&lt;/strong&gt; builds stronger teams and continued success... so we recognize the uniqueness and unique potential in each individual, we are accountable to each other, we play as a team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination is an equal opportunity employer, committed to a culturally diverse workforce. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIVERSITY, EQUITY &amp;amp; INCLUSION STATEMENT &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagination believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are more than just words, and more than a legal framework or a moral obligation - they are guiding principles that, when acted upon, make us stronger, more innovative and more creative as an organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We commit to not only significantly increasing our efforts to effect change today, but also to ensure that our efforts will be sustained for the long-term. To support us on this journey we have appointed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Board to help shape our plans to bring about positive change, to help us learn and keep us all moving forward together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe the responsibility for a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace ultimately rests with all of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe that all employees should feel a sense of belonging at Imagination - regardless of their race, religion or belief, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability or background.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe racism has no place within our workplace or our work culture and we reject all forms of hatred, prejudice, intolerance and discrimination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe that Black Lives Matter and it is our expectation that all employees become actively committed to making unbiased choices and are anti-racist in everything they do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Imagination community must share and live these beliefs, as diversity makes us stronger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our priority is humanity and our efforts toward a more diverse, more equitable and more inclusive workplace are never done.&lt;/p&gt;
