Day-to-day operating brief

What Brand Manager work looks like in practice

A Brand Manager develops and protects how a product, service or organisation is positioned and expressed across campaigns and customer touchpoints. Terms should define brand or portfolio, planning and targets, research, product and sales interfaces, agencies, guidelines, approvals, budgets, pricing or promotion input, customer data, claims, sponsorship, travel, crisis escalation and the limits of authority over legal, product and executive decisions.

  • Coordinate campaigns agencies and internal teams.
  • Manage authorised budgets research and suppliers.
  • Protect claims guidelines and customer data.

  • May allocate routine work and make operational decisions only within documented staffing, financial, contractual and policy limits.

Supervision

Tools and systems

  • Design software.
  • Project management tools.
  • Approval systems.
  • Client communication tools.

Workplace context

  • Office, studio, remote systems, client meetings or approved project locations.

Contract priorities
