This role sits at the intersection of performance and brand.

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.

  • 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
