Executive Director, Strategy

The role is primarily for the Sony Pictures business alongside a variety of smaller brands who require support on a seasonal, ongoing or ad-hoc basis. Time is also put aside to work on central agency projects from marketing and thought leadership to new business and live pitches.

The ideal candidate must be passionate about movies and will ideally have previously worked on a film or entertainment account with an international remit. You should be able to 'stretch' across the full remit of strategy as entertainment accounts require a mix of planning, research & innovation skills. You should have a working knowledge of media planning to enable the distillation of the strategy into media tasks and tactics for local markets just as much as needing to be a 'Big ideas' person - someone who loves and can craft media firsts or ideas that drive fame or PR and 'travel' across countries. Multi-market experience and understanding is therefore key. You will also be responsible for thought leadership for Sony, getting involved with ad-hoc projects & playbooks across areas like gaming and culture.
