• Optimize blended channel metrics (CAC, MER) while ensuring healthy contribution margins at scale.
• Design and implement a structured creative testing framework covering angles, hooks, formats (video, static, carousel), UGC vs. produced, and rapid iterations.
• Analyze performance data to deliver precise, actionable creative briefs and instructions to our in-house video editor (e.g., hook structure, pacing, proof elements, CTA placement).
• Maintain a live content pipeline, testing calendar, iteration backlog, and documentation of key learnings to inform weekly optimizations.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate idea generation, concept variations, and quick mockups for faster testing cycles.

• Ensure full tracking readiness (pixel/events, attribution setup) and account hygiene before go-live.
• Lead rapid early testing to identify high-performing creatives and audiences, then transition to aggressive profitable scaling.
• Document the entire process into a repeatable launch playbook for future brand expansions.
