ABOUT US
Now in our fifteenth year, we bring brands into the real world through brand experiences, consumer activations, on-premise and field marketing, creator programs, and branded content across music, sports, and lifestyle consumer communities. We execute 200+ programs annually across 50+ markets. Culture lives in the real world, and social is where it travels: the moments worth sharing are the ones that meant something first. We create those moments, experiences, and content…then make them impossible to ignore.
We are culture seekers, blending ongoing research and on-the-ground market intelligence to place brands in the moments they belong in. We are a lean, entrepreneurial team that moves fast, builds with intention, and holds a high bar for the work.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We’re looking for a sharp, AI-native Analyst to work directly alongside the CEO and senior management team. A role that will be multi-faceted: right hand, marketing coordinator, research analyst, and AI operator.
You won’t just manage tasks. You’ll use AI daily to absorb the volume of research, synthesis, first drafts, coordination, and follow-through so that judgment, taste, and decisions get the time they deserve. You are the leverage that lets leadership think bigger and move faster.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
Extend the Leadership team
- Manage the flow of information, prep, and follow-through so nothing slips.
- Turn loose direction into structured outputs — agendas, briefs, decks, trackers, clear next steps.
- Anticipate what’s needed before it’s asked, and close the loop without being chased.
Coordinate the Work
- Support experiential, creator, and cultural programs across timelines, deliverables, and budgets.
- Build and maintain trackers, status reports, and recap decks that clients and teams actually use.
- Keep internal teams, clients, and vendors aligned — clear communication is the whole job.
Find the Signal
- Research cultural, competitive, and industry trends across drinks, beauty, sports, music, and lifestyle.
- Synthesize noise into a clear point of view — what’s happening, why it matters, and what Cogent should do about it.
- Lead with the data or credibility anchor, then the insight; separate real signal from trend-chasing.
Operate AI as a Partner
- Use AI every day to explore ideas fast, pressure-test thinking, and raise the speed and quality of output.
- Build prompts, workflows, and lightweight agents that make the whole team faster.
- Know the difference between “AI helped” and “AI made it worse” — taste is the final filter.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 1–3 years in marketing, agency, events, research, or a related field
- Genuinely AI-native: you already use AI daily and are hungry to push it further.
- Exceptionally organized, able to track and prioritize many moving pieces without dropping any.
- Strong written and verbal communication, with real attention to detail.
- Curiosity about consumer culture — the brands, artists, and moments across drinks, beauty, sports, music, and lifestyle.
- Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; comfortable building presentations, plans, and recaps.
- A self-starter who moves work forward without waiting to be told
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including occasional evenings and weekends.
HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED
- Leverage created — how much you free up leadership to do higher-value work.
- Quality and clarity of your synthesis, drafts, and research.
- Speed and reliability — the loop always gets closed.
- How well you use AI to multiply output without lowering the bar.
- Consistency in moving work forward without being asked.
