Strategic Planner

 

ACG, one of Hungary's largest and most successful integrated agencies, is looking to expand its strategy team.

Are you someone who is equally at home in the world of numbers and data as well as in creative thinking? Can you turn a complex business goal into an inspiring brief that instantly sparks the imagination of creatives?

 

We are currently looking for a strategist for our agency who is simultaneously the voice of the "consumer" and the "client"—a true thinking partner who works directly under the guidance of the Strategy Director.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategy and insight: You will be the engine of consumer insights and a brand builder, advising on media and channel strategy (ATL, social, digital).
• Creative partnership: You will write excellent communication briefs and guide the creative process—fluently translating the language of business into the language of creativity.
• Research and project management: You will manage project-related research and competitor analyses, and play a key role in pitches/tenders.
• Client relations and effectiveness: You will build professional partnerships with clients, present ideas, and track ROI metrics.
• Industry award entries: You will help the team compile materials for professional competitions (Effie, Diamond, Arany Penge/Golden Blade) by supporting winning "storytelling" and the clever use of data.

Apply if all of the following describe you:

• You have at least 3–4 years of experience in putting together strategies—it is perfectly fine if this isn't your current job title! (You could be a digital PM, a PR professional, an agency account manager, or even a creative with a strategic mindset.)
• You hold at least an MSc degree (sociology, psychology, or economics is an advantage, but not a requirement).
• You speak and write English at a proficient/advanced level (in addition to high-level Hungarian business writing).
• You are a problem-solver, open-minded, and an excellent team player who can also work independently if need be.
• You are inherently curious about everything. You are flexible, punctual, and you are able to learn from everything. You cannot imagine a single day without reading.
• You are not afraid of numbers; Excel is your friend. You can conduct basic research on your own and are familiar with descriptive statistics. You skillfully apply AI tools for research.

You will love working here if:

• A stable and cool environment is important to you.
• You would love to join a cohesive and fantastic team.
• You want to work on projects for international clients.
• You are inspired by participating in the campaigns of market-leading brands.
• You enjoy learning new things in practice.
• You like variety and are motivated by the opportunity to work on strategic tasks across many different areas (digital, social media, PR, integrated campaigns, or internal communication).
• You would be happy to work in an award-winning, dog-friendly office in the heart of the city!
