Group Black is where culture calls home.

We know that your voice creates the path to our success. We are a place where employees can be authentic, creative, and energized by the people and work they touch each day.

Are you a creative storyteller who loves dreaming up ways to weave brands into real-world moments? Do you get energized thinking about how a brand can show up at an event in unexpected, unforgettable ways?

If so, we’re looking for you.

We're seeking a nimble, highly creative Experiential Strategist to join our team on a contract basis.

Your Day-to-Day:

  • Develop experiential concepts rooted in cultural and consumer insights.
  • Collaborate with creative teams to bring ideas to life visually and verbally.
  • Craft strategic narratives, frameworks, and positioning to sell through ideas internally and externally.
  • Contribute to high-level client brainstorms and strategy sessions.
  • Create clear, compelling decks that bring experiential ideas to life.
  • Architect experiential activations ranging from stand-alone brand moments to scalable, mobile experiences designed for multi-stop executions
  • Proven concepting experience with various budgets tiers to refine and execute experiential ideas in a tangible way 
  • Comfortable working with cross-functional teams—from production, creative, and accounts—to develop compelling 360° experiential concepts.
  • Stay ahead of trends in experiential, consumer behavior, and brand experience.

What you bring to the team: 

  • 5+ years in creative strategy, experiential marketing, or brand experience roles.
  • Strong concepting skills with a strategic foundation
  • Experience working with or pitching to major CPG brands preferred.
  • Excellent storytelling skills – both in writing and presenting.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Comfortable working independently and managing quick turnarounds.
  • Experience attending an HBCU or working closely with HBCU communities is a strong plus.
  • Applicants must provide a portfolio showcasing relevant work 
  • Commitment to the mission, vision, and objectives of the organization

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
