Full Job Description
📋 Description
- • Develop campaign ideas that work for a brand and feel native to Substack, rather than an ad bolted onto someone's newsletter.
- • Match brands with the right writers and publications, using judgment about audience, voice, and what a given writer will actually agree to.
- • Own the creative side of the pre-sale: read the brief, build the proposal, and respond to client feedback with new concepts and pivots.
- • Run campaigns from idea through execution, keeping the brand, the writer, and our sales lead pointed in the same direction.
- • Join client and agency calls to pitch ideas and pull out the information you need to sharpen them.
- • Write the pitch materials, thought starters, and points of view that help brands picture what they can do on Substack.
- • Watch what's working across the platform and feed real examples back into the next round of ideas.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5+ years in creative strategy, branded content, or content strategy, at a publisher, an agency, or a platform.
- • A portfolio of campaign ideas you've taken from concept to live work, ideally involving creators or publishers.
- • A feel for the RFP process and for writing proposals that win.
- • Real instincts for the creator and media space, and a sense for what's fresh versus what's played out.
- • The range to hold a creative conversation with a CMO and a practical one with a writer, sometimes on the same day.
- • Strong writing, and the organization to run several campaigns at once without dropping the details.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Market competitive salary.
- • Equity for all full-time roles.
- • Exceptional benefits.
