Senior Brand Strategist

At AKQA, we help the world’s most ambitious companies and organisations navigate shifting markets and culture, define better futures, and build brands that don’t just compete, but pioneer. As a frontier agency, we work at the intersection of technology, storytelling, and design to future-proof brands and turn brand into strategic business advantage. We believe brands aren’t just a reflection of culture, but a part of shaping it. We’re looking for a senior brand strategist, seasoned in combining strategic rigour with creative imagination, to join our Copenhagen studio. Our brand strategists are the connective tissue between our clients’ ambitions and our creative solutions. We are looking for someone to join our team, who can dissect market dynamics and socio-cultural shifts, identify compelling positions, and translate them into creative brand ideas that resonate and perform. Strategy at AKQA combines analytical rigour with creative imagination to help our clients’ businesses thrive and succeed in the market. Senior brand strategists operate across brand, campaign, and experience to develop holistic solutions that establish differentiated brand positions and bring them to life through creative activation. Collaborating closely with our strategy leadership—and across creative, design, and technology disciplines—you will lead translation of our clients’ challenges into actionable strategies that are both strategically sound and creatively compelling. This role requires the ability to identify emerging customer expectations and market white-space with rigour, while crafting brand narratives and concepts with imagination. You’ll own the strategic direction of brand and campaign engagements—from foundational brand work through to creative activation. You will champion value-driven thinking, moving beyond conventional touchpoints to identify the moments that matter most—ensuring our combined impact is both business outcomes and creative excellence.
