ABOUT THE AGENCY:
David&Goliath is an agency that adheres to one simple philosophy: Brave. To be brave, to inspire people and brands to take on their goliaths. To create lasting impact that the world can feel and truly embrace. This is our purpose and for over two decades, we have never wavered from it. We are not made for everyone. We are made for the few who believe that purpose isn't just a business proposition, but a way of life. And for those who believe we can achieve the unthinkable, together. David&Goliath is a collaborative, empathetic, and team-oriented culture that believes in taking on challenges that others might walk away from. Because, the truth is, nobody ever became great without first being brave.

ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are seeking an Associate Strategist who is focused on great work. As an Associate Strategist, you'll support the team in uncovering consumer insights, conducting research, and helping develop creative briefs that inspire impactful work. You'll work alongside experienced strategists, creatives, account teams, and partner agencies while learning how strategy shapes campaigns from idea to execution.

•    Internal D&G teams (creative, account, and others) to offer strategic insights and direction, and can substantially contribute to the development of creative briefs.
•    Partner agencies to make sure the work is integrated at all touch points.
•    Clients to present strategy as well as one-off strategic POVs as needed for client education.

We are a creative shop. Strategists who thrive here understand that they have to solve problems and define the creative product of the agency.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

  • Internship experience or up to 1 year of experience in advertising, marketing, communications, or a related field.
  • Desire to be a strong support for projects big and small.
  • Excited about getting deep into research & data.
  • Able to multi-task, while still maintaining a high level of detail and follow through.
  • Knowledge of digital outlets and social channels, and experience tailoring briefs and strategies accordingly.
  • Ability to get involved with internal teams and provide insights.
  • PASSION for advertising and marketing, with an insatiable appetite to learn.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

  • Contribute as an integral part of all the client work from the beginning stages through execution to identify opportunities and provide strategic direction (both internally and with clients).
  • Perform the necessary research to come to these insights.
  • Create strategic direction in the form of briefs, decks, and presentations.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
