• Develop ad concepts from scratch: hooks, angles, narratives, and formats built for rapid testing and iteration.

• Write platform-native scripts that feel conversational and built for the scroll—not the boardroom.

• Manage and mentor a small, high-output creative team—setting the bar for quality, speed, and ambition.

• Design AI-powered workflows that supercharge production speed, creative variation, and testing cycles.

• Build repeatable creative frameworks and playbooks that enable the team to produce ads at scale.

• Use performance data to scale winners, kill underperformers, and iterate fast.

Who You Are
