How to apply Send us your resume and a short letter introducing your background. In it, please cover two things: Something you’ve noticed recently that you haven’t been able to stop thinking about, whether it’s a brand, a cultural evolution, a behavioral shift, a product, or something you overheard. What caught your attention, and what do you think is really going on underneath it? Every brand strategist needs to be curious, analytical, and a good communicator. That’s the baseline. What’s the thing you bring that isn’t on that list? Tell us about one moment where it made the difference. Keep the letter to one A4 page at most. We’re reading for how you think and how you express yourself — so give us your own thinking, in your own voice. We’d much rather read something genuinely yours than something perfectly polished by AI. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until November 1, 2026.
