Creative Testing and Iteration

  • Identify creative testing opportunities and develop hypotheses aligned to growth goals
  • Translate performance data into actionable creative learnings and refinements
  • Share insights, patterns, and learnings to improve creative output over time

Culture and Brand Stewardship

  • Conduct brand audits, competitive analysis, and trend research to identify cultural whitespace
  • Stay ahead of platform shifts, creator trends, and emerging content formats
  • Ensure David’s creative output feels current, differentiated, and unmistakably on-brand

Requirements

What You’ll Bring:

  • 1+ years of experience in creative strategy or a high-intensity environment (e.g., hypergrowth startup, consulting, investment banking).
  • Deeply plugged into the social and UGC landscape, with strong instincts across TikTok, Meta, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts – you know what’s relevant
  • Able to translate performance data into brand-aligned creative that drives results and strengthens brand perception
  • Organized and process-minded, with the ability to think strategically while staying hands-on and bringing structure to fast-moving creative workflows (timelines, deliverables, approvals)
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to translate creative strategy clearly to internal teams, creators, and collaborators
  • Humility, curiosity, and a desire to build an early-stage CPG company with a mission to create tools to increase muscle and decrease fat
