Title: Context

Location: Brooklyn, New York

Job Description:

Who We Are

We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.

We are an entrepreneurial business — not a traditional "ad agency." That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We're unapologetically ambitious.

We are looking for talented Context Planners to join Translation.

What Translation+ Is

Translation+ is our pre-vetted bench of elite freelance talent — the people we call on first when our core team is at capacity or a project demands a very specific skill set. This isn't a cold roster of names we found on a platform. This is a curated circle of trusted collaborators who we know, whose work we believe in, and who we treat as a true extension of our team.

What being a part of Translation+ means:
→ You're first in line when opportunities open up — no cold pitching, no competing.
→ We already know your work — you get the brief and we get moving.
→ You're a true addition to our team, not a vendor we found in the 11th hour — making our work and our people better.

What You'll Do

At Translation, Context is a hybrid discipline that sits between Strategy and Creative — choreographing ideas and diffusing them through culture. Our Context Planners influence everything from cultural intelligence and world-building to talent casting, 360º media strategy, and go-to-market plans, always with a sharp focus on the right place, the right time, and the right people.

Whether you're a senior planner leading multi-agency ecosystems and client relationships, a mid-level planner building channel strategies and translating insight into action, or an emerging planner developing your craft — If you understand how culture moves through media and can help define what should be considered media in the first place, we want you on our roster.

 

On Rates

Rates vary based on the scope, duration, and complexity of each engagement, and are grounded in our full-time salary bands so you know we're coming to you seriously. We'll always be upfront about what we have — from there, it's yours to take if it makes sense for you. No pressure, no obligation. We just ask for a straight answer so we can keep things moving.
