- Create multiple variants per concept, experimenting with hooks, angles, pacing, structures, and AI-generated assets.
- Leverage AI to accelerate creative production and develop new approaches to generating scenes, B-roll, voiceovers, product visuals, and creative variations.
- Translate performance insights into concrete editing decisions, iterating quickly based on CTR, CVR, retention, and ROAS.
- Build clear DTC narratives including problem/solution, demo, testimonial, comparison, educational, and objection-handling formats.
- Collaborate closely with Creative Strategists and other teams, proactively proposing new creative and AI-driven approaches.
- Explore automated and programmatic video workflows that can help scale creative production.
