About VIVRE

VIVRE Panels is redefining how India experiences design materials. We create wall surfaces and architectural materials that don’t just function — they feel. Every texture, colour, and pattern we make becomes part of people’s homes, offices, and stories.

Over the past few years, we’ve tripled our team size, built new warehouses, and set up a robust operations backbone.

Now, we’re returning to our original strength — brand, storytelling, and creative direction — led personally by the Founder, a marketing-driven director who once set the trend for design branding in this category.

We already have a talented in-house team of 3D artists, graphic designers, and video editors. What we need now is someone who can bring words, ideas, and stories together — the narrative architect behind how VIVRE speaks to the world.

About the Role

Vivre is not trying to “post more content.”

Vivre is trying to build memory, meaning, and desire around surfaces, materials, and spaces.

This role exists to ensure that:

• Every campaign
• Every content series
• Every PR story
• Every launch narrative

…is rooted in thinking, not randomness.

The Brand Strategist is the intellectual backbone of the brand.

They don’t design.

They don’t edit.

They decide what deserves to exist — and why.

Core Responsibility

The Brand Strategist is the central thinker, ideator, and researcher responsible for:

• Campaign ideas
• Content directions
• Brand narratives
• PR angles
• Product storytelling frameworks

They define what the brand says, explores, questions, and stands for, across:

• Social media
• Campaigns
• Product launches
• PR & brand partnerships
• Long-form storytelling

Execution teams build after this role thinks.
