Hi B***c, I’m J***e from StrategyBrain. I came across your profile and was really impressed by your leadership at M***y, your work co-founding m***a and S***y, and your deep expertise in strategic marketing and creative execution. We’re partnering with V***p to find a Chief Marketing & Creative Officer to shape their brand and drive innovative campaigns. Would you be open to a quick chat to explore this opportunity?

Hi B***c, Great to hear you’re interested.

Could we schedule a 30-minute call to dive deeper? I’m available: • Tuesday (tomorrow) at 3:00 PM AEST • Wednesday at 10:00 AM AEST If those don’t work, please suggest a time that suits you. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi B***c, Great,Wednesday at 10:00 AM AEST is locked in. I’ll send a calendar invite shortly. As for hybrid/flexible working, V***p follows an outcomes-focused model. Typically our senior leaders spend two to three days each week in our creative studio for strategy sessions, client meetings and team workshops, with the remaining days fully remote. We operate around core collaboration hours (roughly 10 AM,4 PM), and you’ll have the autonomy to shape your schedule outside of those windows. Quarterly offsites and key stakeholder gatherings are scheduled in advance to ensure everyone can join, whether in person or virtually. Looking forward to diving deeper on Wednesday. Let me know if you have any questions beforehand! Best regards, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi B***c, Great questions,happy to clarify: Flexibility: Absolutely. While we ask senior leaders to spend about 2,3 days a week in the Brisbane creative studio, you’ll have full autonomy to choose which specific days, in coordination with your core team and key meetings. It really comes down to what best drives your outcomes each week. Quarterly offsites: We typically hold these in Brisbane,our HQ and central team hub,but we also build in variety. On occasion we’ll rotate an offsite to another major city or run a hybrid format if a client project or special initiative calls for it. We’ll always share the schedule well in advance so you can plan travel or dial in virtually as needed. Looking forward to diving deeper on Wednesday! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi B***c, Glad that autonomy feels like a natural fit. At V***p, we strike a balance by clustering in-person collaboration around key creative days,often Mondays and Wednesdays,when we host strategy workshops, brainstorming sprints and client pitches in our Brisbane studio. The rest of the week is yours to work remotely, focus on deep-dive projects or meet clients virtually. To keep our distributed team tightly connected, we run a daily 10-minute Zoom stand-up for quick check-ins, maintain active Slack channels and use Miro for real-time ideation. We also host monthly virtual coffee breaks and quarterly “Show & Tell” sessions,everyone can dial in or join on site. This rhythm gives you the best of face-to-face energy for big-picture work and the flexibility to manage your own schedule. Looking forward to exploring how this could align with your leadership style on Wednesday at 10:00 AM AEST. If there’s anything specific you’d like to discuss, just let me know. Best, J***e

Hi B***c, Great question,outside of our core creative days we keep the ideation engine running with a few regular touchpoints: • Weekly “Idea Exchange” (30-minute drop-in session) where any team member can pitch a challenge or concept • Rotating ideation pods,pairing a strategist, designer and digital lead each fortnight to tackle mini briefs • A dedicated Slack channel (“cross-pollination”) for spontaneous brainstorms, polls and quick-fire feedback • Monthly Innovation Hours: informal virtual meetups where people demo side projects or share fresh inspirations • Quarterly mini-hackathons to surface new campaign ideas and test prototypes together These rituals ensure ongoing cross-team energy and fresh perspectives even on remote days. Looking forward to exploring this further on Wednesday at 10:00 AM AEST. Talk soon! Best, J***e
