Strategist @ Stage3

Stage3 is a creatively driven agency based in Los Angeles and Dallas. We make high-impact and innovative video and creative content for brands that are continuously launching something new. We have a strong presence in the automotive, consumer electronics, and luxury brand industries and provide a wide range of marketing materials – including video, web, and print. Our clients—like Toyota, JBL, and Grand Seiko—rely on us to turn complex product stories into emotionally resonant creative that works across both internal and consumer-facing channels.

We are dedicated to being a valuable strategic partner for our clients by delivering on three promises:

1. Having a deep understanding of the brand, product, and market

2. Applying an innovative approach to everything we do, from ideation to execution

3. Finding unique ways to tell a compelling story that the audience will love

We’re growing—and positioning ourselves as the go-to creative partner for mid-sized brands ($50M–$500M in revenue) that want a smarter, faster, and more strategic agency relationship. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Strategist with 8+ years of experience who knows how to uncover insight,

shape creative briefs, and help pitch—and win—great work. You’ll work closely with creatives,

account leads, and clients to bring strategic clarity to everything from a product video to a full

campaign.

You love becoming an expert in new categories, and know how to take a vague ask and turn it

into a simple, highly compelling brief.
