Associate Brand Strategist – Based in Stockholm

Do you have an obsessive curiosity about why culture moves the way it does, and how the world’s most ambitious brands earn their

relevance? Do you love cutting through ambiguity to find a sharp, unmistakable point of view? Are you ready to own real parts of

brand strategy work, not just support it? This might be your next role.

We’re continuing to grow our Stockholm team and are looking for a full-time Associate Brand Strategist, ideally starting in

January 2027.

What you’ll do

You’ll take ownership of key parts of our brand strategy projects, whether that’s research and analysis or building the story we

present to clients. You’ll work closely with senior strategists and our insights team on everything from repositioning global

industrial companies to building new brands for start-ups.

• Partner closely with our design and creative teams, ensuring strategic insights directly fuel distinct visual systems,

communication platforms, and brand experiences

What we’re looking for

You might come from strategy, creative, research, or consulting — or somewhere else entirely. What matters is that you’ve learned

to make sense of complexity, find what matters, and make people care.

• Around 1–2 years of relevant experience from a brand consultancy, design studio, strategic research agency, or progressive

in-house brand team, where your role included owning a piece of work from start to finish

• Demonstrated foundational experience in brand building, consumer behavior, culture, and what makes people choose one brand over

another

Who we are and what we offer

Kurppa Hosk is a brand agency built for decisive moments. Across Europe and the U.S., our team of 200+ partners with companies at

the moments that define them, when clarity is required, and compromise is costly. Working closely with leaders, we help turn bold

decisions into confident brands that stand out far from the middle to create momentum and drive demand. We work with brave

organizations, from early-stage start-ups like Heart Aerospace and Källa to established brands, like Zalando, Scania, Nike, Meta,

and Minecraft. We’re also a founding member of Eidra, a collective of specialist companies, so you’ll have management consultants,

digital experts, and product innovators down the hall.

To support your professional development, you’ll have access to a personal development coach, courses in emerging fields like

generative AI and GEO, and regular peer feedback on every project. Benefits include 30 days’ vacation, a wellness allowance,

private health insurance, an occupational pension, and a phone and laptop. You’ll also work from our award-winning office at Grev

Tureplan.

How to apply

Send us your resume and a short letter introducing your background. In it, please cover two things:

1. Something you’ve noticed recently that you haven’t been able to stop thinking about, whether it’s a brand, a cultural

evolution, a behavioral shift, a product, or something you overheard. What caught your attention, and what do you think is

really going on underneath it?

2. Every brand strategist needs to be curious, analytical, and a good communicator. That’s the baseline. What’s the thing you

bring that isn’t on that list? Tell us about one moment where it made the difference.

Keep the letter to one A4 page at most. We’re reading for how you think and how you express yourself — so give us your own

thinking, in your own voice. We’d much rather read something genuinely yours than something perfectly polished by AI.
