  • Confidently present and defend creative insights
  • Develop decks and narratives to guide client decision-making on creative direction
  • Help ensure alignment and buy-in across internal and external stakeholders

  • Partner closely with internal Media teams and Client teams to develop and execute creative testing plans aligned with client goals
  • Contribute to DEPT’s thought leadership through case studies, articles, or internal presentations
  • Help shape and evolve our internal creative strategy processes

Requirements:

  • 2+ years in Creative Strategy or a related digital marketing role, with hands-on experience in paid media and creative testing
  • Deep familiarity with Meta, TikTok, Google, and other performance channels (Snap, DV360, GDN, Amazon, etc.)
  • Strong analytical acumen
  • comfort working with reporting dashboards or Excel/Sheets to identify trends
  • Clear and responsive communicator—someone who thrives on being in sync with teammates and clients
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects without dropping the ball
  • Strong presentation and storytelling skills
