Job Description

C2’s client, a coffee-loving, humor-first marketing agency in Southeast Wisconsin, seeks a Client Strategist to steer small businesses toward marketing success. The agency brings its clients’ stories to life across digital, print, and social media for a roster that stretches across the Midwest, from manufacturing floors to travel destinations. The team loves getting to know clients so it can introduce them to their ideal customers, and that work is growing to include keeping brands visible as AI changes how people search.

The agency wants a teammate for its client success team who fits their brand of crazy: a fun, personable strategist who loves to learn, dives into the wide range of industries on the client roster, and keeps tasks and deadlines on track while laughing along with the boss’s famously groan-worthy jokes. This is a team of coffee-loving, prolific snackers and proud connoisseurs of Mexican cuisine, with a soft spot for puns and for marketing data dashboards.
