As Brand & Creative Strategist (m/f/d) at KoRo, you will be the central architect of KoRo's communication and content strategy, defining, protecting, and activating the brand across all channels – from D2C e-commerce to major retail grocery shelves (like Edeka, dm etc.).

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Brand Narrative Development: Own and develop the core brand story, messaging hierarchy, and tone of voice, ensuring it clearly differentiates KoRo in the competitive European food and snack market.
• Market & Audience Insight: Conduct deep-dive research into cultural trends, competitive brand activity (in-store and online), and consumer motivations to unearth actionable strategic insights that inform all creative output.
• Value Translation: Develop strategic frameworks to articulate how KoRo's values (accessibility, sustainability, well-being) are communicated visually and verbally across D2C and retail environments.
• Brand Health Tracking: Partner with the Brand Manager to define and monitor key brand health metrics and derive insights to ensure creative strategies drive long-term value.

• Content Pillars: Conceptualize and manage the execution of content strategies for website, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, ensuring platform-native yet consistent creative concepts.
• Scripting & Concepting: Drive high-level creative concepts and develop strategic scripts/copy lines to showcase KoRo's products and trading model in persuasive, engaging formats.

Cross-Functional Strategic Alignment (20%)

• Strategic Governance: Serve as the brand's voice and strategic gatekeeper in cross-functional meetings with Product Development, Performance Marketing, and Retail Sales.
• Creative Performance Analysis: Collaborate with Data & Growth teams to analyze why creative narratives or visual styles succeed or fail, translating insights into future recommendations.
• Stakeholder Presentation: Articulate complex creative strategies and data-backed rationale to executive and cross-functional leadership to secure buy-in.
