Brand Strategist (Contractor)

About Us

At SpeakrBrand, we’re the Growth Partner for Thought Leaders – the people with ideas worth spreading and stories worth scaling.

We work with speakers, authors, and executives to build powerful personal brands, amplify influence, and grow businesses that last.

We’re a rapidly growing team that delivers white-glove service and creative excellence for every client we serve.

Job Description

The Brand Strategist manages the marketing and content growth of our clients’ personal brands. This includes developing content strategy, creating thought leadership content, and executing social media and newsletter marketing that drives visibility and engagement.

You’re proactive, highly organized, and obsessed with client happiness. You thrive on collaboration and take pride in being the steady, strategic guide that clients trust to bring their brand to life across every touchpoint.
