WE ARE HIRING A STRATEGIC PLANNER 

Ever opened a new bank account and got a weekend away? Spent on fashion and received a personal styling session? Picked up groceries and walked away with cinema tickets?

If so, you’ve probably experienced a TLC Worldwide campaign - without even knowing it.

At TLC, we help the world’s biggest brands drive customer acquisition, loyalty and engagement with emotionally engaging, experience-led rewards. From global banks to high street retailers, our programs are designed shift behaviour, boost ROI and build genuine brand love – at the fraction of the cost of discounting and cash offers. Backed by COSMOS, our all-in-one program platform, we deliver personalised campaigns at scale with live data, smart insights, and seamless customer journeys.

We’ve spent 30 years mastering what moves customers; combining deep consumer insight, a global network of 100,000+ rewards, and a unique ability to drive measurable ROI for brands.

We’re 400+ people strong, across 15 global hubs. A collective of marketers, creatives and strategists who care about doing great work - and having fun while we do it. We celebrate bold thinking, empower growth, and champion the kind of culture that helps people thrive.

• Demonstrate your impact—know your contribution to ROI

Who we're looking for:

• Experience in research, planning, or strategy within integrated marketing or brand experience
• Strong understanding of brands, consumers, and client dynamics
• Excellent English and communication skills
• A client-facing mindset with sound business judgment
• Experience working in fast-paced, collaborative environments

• Curious about people, culture, and what makes brands tick
• Media-savvy and always exploring new trends and platforms
• Sceptical of assumptions—you follow hunches and prove them
• Commercially astute, pragmatic, and adaptable
• Passionate about making strategy simple, powerful, and effective

Being a people-led business, we hire upon values and believe that our people are what make the beloved TLC culture so unique.

At TLC we aim to create a ‘world within the world’ that is free from prejudice, bias and inequity.

A world where diversity is valued and celebrated, and where we work hard to ensure all our wonderful people are given equal opportunity to succeed.
