Dagger is a full-service creative agency leading the way in Atlanta. Driving clients’ business outcomes with a nimble, media-company mindset, we innovate new ways to capture attention by distributing valuable content across media.

We’re a close-knit group of deeply driven, passionate, innovative thinkers, makers, and doers. We’re looking for another stellar addition to our team to help us cultivate ideas that strengthen our client offerings, win more awards, and achieve our goal of being the most compelling Atlanta-born agency the industry has ever seen.

Dagger’s strategy department consists of strategists who flex across brand, comms, and social – and who work closely alongside our media and analytics arms. The team is adept at defining the right message within the right channels with the right multipliers for maximum impact.

We are hiring a Strategist to work with well-known brands and create culture-pushing work. This role is ideal for someone looking to grow their passion for great storytelling and cultural trends into an exciting career in marketing/advertising strategy on one of the best and brightest teams in the business. How can you tell if this role is right for you?

If you have:

• 1-3 years of experience in a social media, community management, or communications in an agency or in-house environment
• Experience managing a brand presence on any social media platform; including collaborating with creative teams to develop content, communing with brand managers and clients to manage the brand, and interacting with/understanding the audience
• Solid understanding of:
• Content planning, tactical briefs, and content calendars
• Content/channel audits and channel best practices, plus distilling in ways that are easy to communicate and apply 
• Emerging digital and social media trends 
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• A familiarity with the foundational elements of marketing strategy beyond social media including quantitative and qualitative research
• The knowledge, skills, and abilities typically acquired through a combination of work experience and formal education in marketing & advertising, communications, or journalism

And you’re really good at:

• Supporting in the creation of client-facing POVs with an emphasis on both platform updates and client implications
• Applying a high attention to detail to both the visual and written presentation of information
• Forging strong interpersonal relationships and collaboration inside and outside of your department
• Demonstrating a natural curiosity through consistent personal growth or continuing education -- you’re a big-time reader known to devour non-fiction and fiction content alike
• Learning new concepts quickly, easily making connections between unrelated ideas, and taking on the challenge of unfamiliar tasks
• Taking a proactive approach to projects and work 
• Actively participating in and contributing positively to team culture

This role is based in Atlanta, GA (we're a hybrid workplace).

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every qualification. At Dagger, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
