You are a data storyteller who can assess what worked, what didn’t, and why, with conviction and confidence. You are equally at home in a methodology discussion with analysts, a working session with Strategists and the Studio team, and a client meeting where your work is being challenged. You work autonomously and take direction well. You are accountable for your output, you share progress and flag blockers before anyone has to ask, and you arrive with proposed solutions, not just problems. You will collaborate with our Creative Studio, Creative Strategy, Performance Media, Influencer/Creator, Client Partner teams, and project managers to translate data points into clear analysis and recommendations.
If you have a pulse on industry-wide creative trends, hold yourself to an exceptionally high standard of output, and want to help shape how a discipline is built, we want you on our team.
What You’ll Do
You own the creative performance read, the testing insights, and the recommendations that inform what we create and test next, on your accounts and as a model for the team. You close the feedback loop: every result is read against its hypothesis, explained, and fed back into the next round of creative and testing, so learnings compound instead of restarting. Media and channel teams retain ownership of campaign management, budgets, bidding, and in-platform execution, and you partner with them on test setup and results.
Own the Read on Tier 1 Accounts: Lead creative performance analysis for our most complex, highest-spend, or most strategically complex accounts. Anchor every read to the client’s business goals, with lower-funnel metrics (such as CAC, ROAS, CPA, and LTV) as the measure of success. Use upper-funnel and engagement metrics (such as thumbstop rate, hold rate, and CTR) to diagnose which variable(s) drove the result (hook, format, message, audience, moment, etc.). Separate creative effect from media effect, spot ad fatigue early, and judge the creative mix for diversification and journey-stage coverage.
Read More Than the Metrics: Go past the numbers to understand what in the asset itself drove the result. Assess the nuances of creative across formats (static, GIF, UGC, lofi video), fidelity (lofi, product-first, hi-fi), messaging angles, hooks, visual treatment, and creator or voice, and attribute success or failure to those specific elements rather than to the platform metric alone. Turn what you see in the asset into specific, testable guidance for the Studio and strategists.
Shape Process, Workflow, and Methodology: Act as a thought partner to the Manager and Senior Manager in designing and refining how the team operates, including hypothesis and test-plan formats, tagging and naming standards, the learning record, readout structures, and the handoffs between analyst, strategist, Studio, and channel teams. Pilot new approaches on real accounts, document what you learn, and turn what works into repeatable standards others can adopt.
Set the Quality Bar by Example: Produce work that is accurate, rigorous, and clear enough to serve as the team’s reference standard. Offer peer review, coaching, and feedback to analysts when asked or when you see an opportunity, without formal management responsibility.
Design and Defend Testing & Experimentation: Own the measurement and the creative read on complex tests, and contribute to testing frameworks and roadmaps. Apply sound practice on hypotheses, sample sizes, statistical significance, and incrementality so we know when a result is real, and explain clearly why a test won or lost.
Translate Insight into Action: Turn every read into clear, prioritized recommendations for media, strategy, and the Studio, including what to iterate on, what to retire, and what to test next. Be explicit about tradeoffs.
Lead Client Storytelling: Present, defend, and communicate the team’s work with professional maturity in weekly highlights, monthly insights, quarterly deep dives, and post-flight analyses. Handle challenge and pushback with evidence and composure, tailor the story to senior marketing and business audiences, and represent the function in pitches and strategic conversations when needed.
Build Creative Intelligence Infrastructure: Use an AI-enabled tool set to build and manage the dashboards, learning records, and cross-client libraries that make our learnings compound. Partner with Performance Media, channel teams, and Product on tagging, naming, and tooling, and surface tool gaps with a proposed fix. Check and edit all AI output before it reaches a client.
Benchmark Against the Market: Monitor industry-wide creative and media performance to separate account-specific results from broader market shifts, track competitor and cultural trends, and contribute to agency benchmarks. Flag when what you see should change our recommendations.
Own Your Work and Communicate Proactively: Manage your own priorities across accounts and projects. Give regular, unprompted updates on progress, risks, and blockers, and come with options and a recommended path.
