- Build a high-volume creative testing pipeline
- Stay current with trends across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and native platforms

- Deep understanding of:
- Hooks, angles, and messaging
- Consumer psychology

- Ability to create:
- Static ads
- UGC-style creatives
- Short-form video ads
- Landing page/mock creative concepts
- Experience working with high-spend media buyers ($500K+/month)
- Experience with TikTok-style and native ad creatives
- Copywriting experience in direct response
- You consistently produce ads that convert — not just look good
- You generate new creative concepts weekly
- Your creatives directly contribute to lower CPL and higher volume
- You can both ideate and execute without bottlenecks
- Competitive base + performance-based bonuses tied to:
- Creative performance
- Winning ad volume
- Contribution to campaign scaling
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage - Medical, Dental and Vision
- Paid vacation

With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
