Quad•Chicago, IL

8d•$178,000 - $226,710

About The Position

Betty is a creative engine built for brands that can’t stand bland — because bland blends, and that’s bad for business. We’re a full-service creative agency powered by strategy, design, content, and ideas that break through and move culture forward. We do stuff most places just can’t do — at speed, scale, and quality. YOUR MISSION You’re a strategic heavyweight with a winning track record — someone who’s led strategy on work that has gotten noticed (awards/PR) and driven growth for clients (results). You’re a key leader on the team and in the agency, a mentor to sharp thinkers, and a bridge-builder across creative, account, and media teams. You also play well with others and collaborate with our sister agency Rise (media) and parent company Quad. You elevate work. You challenge assumptions. You make people give a damn about strategic ideas — and help them come to life in ways that matter. You’re also excited to modernize how we work — including innovating with AI and our proprietary data stack to make strategy faster, smarter, and more impactful
