About the Role

This role offers a rare opportunity to work on the Global McDonalds Happy Meal, a culturally relevant brand that collaborates with major IP partners and creates resonant moments for Gen A and Gen Z audiences worldwide. It focuses on shaping ideas that appear across multiple channels and touchpoints, come to life in product, retail, digital, and gaming environments, and spark social conversation and cultural relevance. The position is designed for individuals who want to move beyond traditional advertising into experience-led, culturally-driven work, see their ideas realized across innovative platforms, and operate at the intersection of strategy and creativity.

Responsibilities

  • Develop big, culturally resonant ideas that can flex across markets and formats
  • Translate strategy into tangible, executable outputs — from visual identity to product and digital experiences
  • Work across cross-functional teams (creative, design, digital, retail, partnerships) to bring ideas to life
  • Guide and inspire teams, ensuring a consistent and compelling vision across all touchpoints
  • Navigate complex stakeholder environments with confidence and adaptability
  • Embrace an “always in beta” mindset, evolving ideas based on feedback, data, and new inputs

Requirements

  • Proven experience developing multichannel campaign concepts from strategy through to execution
  • Strong understanding of how ideas translate into campaign visual identity, product/merchandise, digital and gaming experiences, and retail environments
  • Experience leading or shaping cross-functional, integrated teams
  • A track record working on culturally-led brands or campaigns, with a strong grasp of culture strategy
  • Ability to operate in the space between strategy and creative—whether as a strategist deeply embedded with creatives, or a strategically minded creative/hybrid profile
  • Background in a top-tier creative or integrated agency environment
  • Comfortable working with multiple stakeholders, adapting thinking without losing the core idea
  • Great storyteller and stage setter for the work we create and the ability to persuade and influence internal and senior external stakeholders
  • Culture and trends obsessed, cascading that understanding in a compelling way to drive great ideas
