Communications Strategist

Communications Strategists are marketing professionals who develop and oversee the organisation’s brand and communications strategy. They carry out market research and then develop a long-term strategic plan for communicating with customers, clients, stakeholders, and the general public.

As a Communications Strategist you could be meeting with the executive team to discuss the long-term goals of the business, analysing customer demographics and the market-share of competitors, writing a detailed report with recommendations for senior management, comparing the uptake of different social media channels, running a customer focus-group to gain important feedback, or presenting the 12-month plan to the marketing department.
