Develop and pitch high-volume, platform-specific ad concepts; collaborate with production and paid media to produce UGC-style creative; analyze performance data to iterate strategy; identify and manage influencers/creators; lead brainstorms and present creative to clients while ensuring compliance for regulated verticals.
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.

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

- Experience in real money gaming, social casino, or other regulated industries is strongly preferred
