Junior Strategist

Job title: Junior Strategist

Location: Bristol

You're reading this ad, so you're ready to outthink. To take your skills, knowledge and experience beyond what you thought possible. And TMP268 is the place to do it.

TMP268 is a creatively strategic marketing agency, home to the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. Protecting the nation begins here.

And what does that mean for you? It means new challenges to rise to. Being encouraged and empowered to outthink at every opportunity. It means creating industry-first solutions, harnessing emerging tech, and realising AI's potential to create human connection. It means feeling valued for everything you bring. And work you can be proud to call your own, whatever your role.

The role

As Junior Strategist, you'll work with the rest of the strategy team to develop and deliver marketing and campaigns for AFRS. You'll commit to immersing yourself in the worlds of our client and their target audience – whether its marketing for the Armed Forces or narrowing in on a specific role for the Royal Navy, British Army or Royal Air Force.

As Junior Strategist, you'll be curious, proactive, collaborative and analytically minded. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain real insight into all aspects of marketing – from media channels to creative campaign development to research. You will support teams across the business, ensuring that our strategic approach is followed through. Plus, you'll strengthen your networking skills through building partnerships with AFRS and their partners.

You'll support the strategy team by becoming the voice of the consumer, through ongoing desk-based research and insight gathering on how the landscape is changing. This will include reading up on relevant internal, economic, technological, environmental and societal changes or news that could impact the performance and impact of our marketing. You'll present your findings back to internal and clients so that they're up to date. This will help to enhance creative and strategic direction across all our marketing disciplines.

Who we're looking for

To excel here, you'll bring a curious mindset, particularly about human behaviour. You're an excellent communicator, skilled at storytelling, building presentations and supporting materials for clients. With support from a Strategist or Strategy Director, you're able to provide strategic consultancy to clients.

You already have a strong understanding of content marketing, which you're keen to build on. You've got a proven ability track data, as well as to turn it into actionable insights. Plus, you're a problem-solver who can prioritise projects effectively.

With your structured approach, you can be relied on to be organised and well-planned. And you're adaptable – responding to other people's feedback and building on their ideas.

We want you to be ready to collaborate with, inspire and contribute effectively to TMP268's culture. We're an agency that wants our clients to succeed, through outthinking and challenging conventional approaches.

It would be beneficial if you've had one to two years of experience a strategy, planning, insight, research or digital marketing role. This has given you a comfortability working across channels (especially social and digital). It would be a plus if you have basic experience with analytics tools (e.g. GA4, social platform insights, or similar). Any other relevant experience – like contributing insight to a creative brief – we'd be happy to hear about too.

What's in it for me?

You're set to gain so much from being part of our team, including:

• Time off to rest or conquer items on the bucket list with 27 days' holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days.
• Great company paid benefits including our health cash plan, life assurance, company pension and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
• A hybrid working pattern plus other great flexible benefits such as a TechScheme, free mortgage advice and more.

• Opportunities to give back and care for our environment with eco-friendly benefits like our cycle to work scheme.
