Position Overview

Blenders is looking for a hybrid Brand Manager + Content Strategist who blends strategy with storytelling: a marketer who can turn seasonal direction into campaigns, narratives, and content that create cultural heat.

You’ll partner closely with the Head of Marketing, taking high-level seasonal kickoffs and transforming them into integrated campaign briefs, messaging frameworks, and content strategies that elevate how Blenders shows up across channels. This role sits at the center of the brand — shaping the stories we tell, the content we create, and the way consumers experience Blenders every day.

If you’re equal parts strategist, storyteller, and content architect, this role is built for you.

• Partner with Social to turn narratives into platform-specific content plans and executions.

Brand, Narrative & Creative Direction

• Lead creative + content briefings with clear insight, narrative direction, and brand voice guidance.

• Ensure campaign stories are cohesive across social, brand, retail, eComm, influencer, PR, and community.

Content Management & Execution Alignment

• Own the content calendar in partnership with Social — ensuring all content ladders back to the seasonal strategy and campaign narrative.

• Manage asset needs, messaging consistency, and creative alignment across teams.

• Organize and maintain messaging frameworks, content systems, and storytelling playbooks.

• Work cross-functionally to ensure smooth flow of content from strategy → creative → production → publishing.

• Stay tapped into style, sport, and lifestyle trends that influence the Blenders consumer.

• Monitor category shifts, competitors, and creator trends to inform future storytelling and content planning.

• Partner with analytics/eComm to use performance signals to shape smarter creative and content decisions.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with Product to build compelling launch narratives around design, features, and everyday utility.

• Partner with PR, Influencer, and Retail to translate campaigns into clear storylines and messaging for external audiences.
