The Performance Marketing Strategist develops ad concepts, collaborates with influencers and creators, analyzes performance data, and works with production teams.
Brand Knew is looking for a Performance Marketing Strategist who’s equal parts ideator, collaborator, and executor—someone who lives at the intersection of storytelling, creator culture, and performance marketing. You’ll be tasked with developing thumb-stopping ad concepts, identifying and guiding influencers and content creators, and collaborating with production and design teams to bring high-volume creative to life across campaigns.
You should be comfortable interpreting performance data to understand what’s working, and use those insights to continuously refine creative strategy.
If you have a deep understanding of what makes people stop scrolling—and what makes them convert—and are excited to bring that skill to a diverse roster of clients across real money gaming, social casino, DTC, financial services, and travel, we want to hear from you.
Note: Applications that are not fully and properly filled out will not be considered.
Responsibilities:
- Concept and pitch ad ideas that balance brand voice with performance hooks, tailored to specific channels (IG, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
- Own and evolve creative frameworks across dozens of weekly assets—ensuring high-volume output while working within compliance guidelines for regulated verticals like real money gaming and social casinos
- Analyze creative performance data independently and in collaboration with the paid media team to identify trends, extract insights, and proactively inform new creative concepts
- Collaborate closely with our video production team and visual artists to turn concepts into reality quickly and efficiently
- Lead brainstorms, build creative decks, and present ideas internally and to clients
- Identify, vet, and brief influencers and creators aligned with client goals and brand tone
- Set up recurring media days to capture content with creators or customers to produce compelling ad creative
Requirements:
- 3+ years experience in a creative role focused on social or performance marketing
- Proven track record of collaborating with influencers/creators and developing UGC-style ads
- Deep understanding of digital content trends and platform nuances (especially TikTok, Reels, and Shorts)
- Experience shipping a high volume of assets weekly—without sacrificing originality or quality
- Strong analytical skills—you know how to interpret performance metrics, pull out actionable insights, and translate them into creative strategies that convert
- Experience in real money gaming, social casino, or other regulated industries is strongly preferred
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- Excellent creative instincts and visual storytelling chops
- Data-aware, not data-paralyzed—you understand how creative performance influences strategy
Perks:
- Significant opportunity for growth in the company
- Work alongside an incredible slate of clients and team members
- Fun, creative and collaborative company culture
- Unlimited cold brew
- Hybrid & remote work options
Compensation:

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. 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.

- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
