Strategist (FTC)
MHP Group is the integrated communications agency built for the Networked Age – a world that’s increasingly connected, complex, polarised and activist. We are a family of brands (MHP, Mischief, La Plage & Accord) that come together seamlessly.
We lead the way in the application of behavioural science to solve communications challenges. We create strategies and multichannel campaigns to engage every audience, from consumer to policy maker, and from stakeholder to shareholder.
With over 200 specialists in London and San Francisco, we are trusted by many of the world’s leading businesses and brands.
Role overview
Strategy at MHP sits at the intersection of corporate (reputation & public affairs), creative and brand strategy. Bringing the best of these three disciplines together, we take an approach that is fresh, flexible and insight-driven to bring clients new ways of thinking about their work.
We work with our colleagues in Mischief to deliver integrated strategies and we are the team responsible for translating the behavioural science research from our partners at INFLUENCE AT WORK into communications insights.
