Recruiter tips for Brand Manager CVs
- Brand CVs should show market share, recall, or consideration, not just 'launched campaigns'. Brand metrics are the proof.
- Show agency management maturity: budgets, briefing, evaluation. FMCG hiring managers screen for this.
- Include consumer research ownership. Brand managers who commission and act on insight stand out.
- Mention the brand scale: revenue, markets, channels. Seniority in brand roles is read through scope.
Common CV mistakes for Brand Managers
- ✗Describing campaigns without the brand metric that moved
