Apply pin iconLocation Chicago, Illinois Job Category Media Business Unit (brand) Betty Date posted 05/07/2026 Job ID 40693
Betty is a fully integrated creative agency devoted to building better. You name it, we probably want to improve it. And we want to work with someone who feels the same way. We're looking for an energetic, inclusive, fun-loving person who’d rather lead than follow. Someone who prioritizes creating remarkable work, strengthening client relationships, contributing to agency growth, and building consumer experiences for an increasingly multicultural and global world.

Position Overview

Betty is looking for a Vice President of Consumer Strategy who doesn’t just understand culture—but knows how to inspire ideas and work that shapes it.

This role is for a strategic leader who believes the most powerful ideas today are born from how people connect, create, and engage in modern channels. They know how to inspire and shape modern, bold and social first ideas that don’t just get eyeballs but move the needle for brands. They work alongside clients, account and creative leadership to not just shape creative but identify growth opportunities for the brands they work with.

As a senior leader, you’ll be an important and impactful voice within the strategy team and agency. You’ll play a critical role in defining how Betty shows up in the world: pushing beyond traditional thinking to create ideas people want to engage with, share, and participate in.

You’ll also be a driving force in new business—bringing a clear, compelling point of view on how brands win in a social-first, modern, complex and fast-moving landscape. You know how to not only shape our strategy narrative but take the lead in creating and presenting compelling and holistic narratives that have a solid through line from start to finish.

Betty is a fully integrated agency within Quad, and this role will collaborate across disciplines to deliver modern, connected solutions that drive real growth.

Leverage Betty’s proprietary data stack alongside cultural fluency to uncover insights that fuel ideas people actually care about, engage with, and share.

Strategic Integration

Partner across creative, media, and integrated Quad teams to ensure strategies translate into connected, channel-appropriate ideas that maximize impact.

Team Leadership & Inspiration

Build and mentor a team of strategists who are curious, culturally plugged in, and creatively ambitious. Foster an environment where strategy doesn’t just inform—but inspires and elevates the work.

Agency Leadership

Serve as a key voice in shaping Betty’s future—helping define how we show up as a modern, culturally relevant, and creatively driven agency.
