Brand Manager

Job Summary

We are looking for a Brand Manager who understands branding beyond social media posts. This role requires owning brand strategy, managing clients end-to-end, and acting as a bridge between clients and the internal creative team. You will translate business goals into brand narratives, guide creative execution, and ensure every deliverable aligns with the brand’s core identity.

This is not a coordination only role. You are expected to think, recommend, question, and lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Own client relationships and manage them end-to-end from onboarding to delivery
• Understand client business goals and translate them into brand and design strategies
• Take detailed brand, design, marketing, and website briefs from clients
• Act as the creative bridge between clients and internal design, UI/UX, and marketing teams
• Break down projects into clear tasks, timelines, and responsibilities using ClickUp
• Manage workload distribution across the creative team to ensure optimal utilisation
• Guide designers on brand language, visual direction, and consistency
• Partner with the Creative Director on brand concepts and campaign ideas
• Ensure adherence to brand guidelines including fonts, colours, tone, and imagery
• Review creative outputs for brand alignment and quality before client delivery
• Track project progress, document feedback, and ensure timely delivery
• Analyse campaign effectiveness and recommend improvements for better ROI
• Prepare and present progress and performance reports to clients
• Participate in brainstorming sessions for brand-building initiatives
• Stay updated with design, branding, and digital trends (Awwwards, Behance, etc.)
• Visit client locations when required for brand planning or execution

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in branding, advertising, design, or creative agencies
• Prior experience in a Brand Manager / Client Servicing / Account Manager role
• Strong understanding of branding vs marketing (must clearly differentiate both)

Hands-on exposure to design processes including:

• Graphic Design
• UI/UX
• Website design workflows
• Packaging / Motion / Typography (conceptual understanding required)

• Ability to explain the end-to-end website creation process clearly
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills (calls + video meetings)
• Strong ownership mindset and accountability for outcomes
• Analytical thinking and structured problem-solving skills
• Ability to stay calm and professional during frequent client calls
• Strong attention to detail and time management
• Comfortable managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
• Based in Bangalore or willing to relocate
• Must have a working laptop
• What Will Seal the Deal
• You proactively recommend ideas; clients don’t spoon-feed you briefs
• You understand what the agency sells before pitching or managing work
• You can dissect complex work into executable steps without chaos
