Own the creative briefing process, delivering strong, objective briefs based on a deep understanding of the channel, customer mindset, and historical performance. Drive channel-level experimentation roadmaps by developing robust testing frameworks, identifying high-impact variables (creative, audience, landing page), and overseeing the end-to-end execution of channel tests.
