Grounded in a talent-centric mindset, Maker Lab is a marketing agency designed to build decentralised technology-led agency teams, rooted in collaboration with clients from the ground up. Maker Lab’s cross-functional teams of multidisciplinary specialists are embedded into client teams across digital marketing competencies — from measurement & analytics to content production. Job Summary: We're looking for an Audience Strategy Lead to support one of our amazing clients in the music and entertainment industry. You'll be the person uncovering the stories behind the data — combining audience insights, AI, and cultural trends to decode fan behaviours and transform signals into bold marketing strategies that help artists make their mark across APAC. Role: - Oversee the rollout of a generative AI brief-intake tool, ensuring it works effectively for non-data marketing stakeholders and reduces manual strategic workload. - Design and deliver scalable, templated insights from client briefs using qualitative and quantitative tools, equipping Creative, Commerce and Paid teams with clear audience knowledge. - Build scalable post-campaign audience engagement reports that measure effectiveness and surface opportunities for continuous improvement. - Use a growing library of engagement reports and predictive modelling to synthesise campaign results (streams/sales) into actionable, repeatable marketing blueprints. - Partner closely with data engineering to feed behavioural inputs and blueprints into a unified data engine, refining algorithmic trend predictions and AI briefing recommendations. - Help establish a predictive viability tool to assess a track's potential success across multiple markets ahead of campaign launch and spend approval. - Deliver deep-dive market intelligence on regional consumer behaviour and opportunities to support senior leadership decision-making. You: - BA/BS degree or equivalent experience - 10+ years of experience leading digital consumer insights, audience strategy, or predictive analytics within media, tech, or entertainment. - Skilled at translating complex data and statistical analysis into a clear, narrative-led strategy for creative and marketing teams. - Strong understanding of regional digital and e-commerce consumer behaviour. - Experience working alongside data engineering teams in modern cloud data environments (e.g. Databricks) and with third-party research platforms. - Comfortable leading a team and operating as a senior stakeholder across insights, creative and commercial functions. - Exceptional verbal and written English communication and presentation skills.
