Responsibilities:
- Concept and pitch ad ideas that balance brand voice with performance hooks, tailored to specific channels (IG, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc.)

- Experience shipping a high volume of assets weekly—without sacrificing originality or quality
- Experience in real money gaming, social casino, or other regulated industries is strongly preferred

- Fun, creative and collaborative company culture
- Unlimited cold brew
- Hybrid & remote work options
