You ensure a strong substantive and strategic creative foundation within the organization and inspire your direct colleagues. You report directly to the Managing Director.

  • Collaboration: You partner with the creative, account, and production teams to create innovative, effective, and impactful Brand Experiences and Events for a diverse range of brands.
  • Insights & Trends: You immerse yourself in human behavior (employees, consumers, and B2B partners) as well as the markets and sectors in which our clients operate, identifying trends and insights that contribute to innovative strategies and ideas.
  • Client Engagement: You "get under the skin" of clients and their target groups, helping them formulate strategic objectives and solutions by designing and leading strategic sessions, workshops, co-creation sessions, and presentations.
  • Creative Briefing: You translate complex client inquiries into sharp, inspiring creative briefings and persuasive presentations.
  • Business Development: You contribute to OVAL's business development by participating in pitches and creating (proactive) proposals for potential clients.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
