Role & Responsibilities:  

This role sits at the intersection of performance and brand. You’ll support the creative strategy that shapes how David shows up across paid, organic, and social-first channels, from brand storytelling and product launches to UGC-style performance ads and lo-fi content. You’ll bring clarity, taste, and direction across platforms, translating brand identity into content that feels culturally relevant and drives measurable results.

This is a role for someone who can think strategically, move quickly, and turn insights into creative that performs.

Creative Strategy and Direction

  • Develop and support high-level creative strategy across paid ads, UGC, influencer content, and social campaigns
  • Write clear, compelling creative briefs for advertising materials, campaigns, launches, and always-on content
  • Define creative frameworks that guide tone, messaging, visual language, and storytelling formats across channels

UGC, Lo-Fi and Performance Creative

  • Support and manage creative strategy for lo-fi and UGC-style ad content, ensuring alignment with brand voice and performance goals
  • Identify high-performing hooks, formats, and narratives across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and TV
  • Brief creators, editors, and internal teams with clear direction on art, tone, and messaging
  • Continuously iterate on winning creative directions based on performance data and testing insights

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

    • Salary: $100,000 - $120,000 per year DOE, inclusive of cash bonus based on attainment of company targets
