Description Whisker is redefining what it means to live with cats—designing intelligent systems that remove friction, elevate the everyday, and celebrate the quiet brilliance of feline companionship. Today, Litter-Robot leads the category. Tomorrow, an entire ecosystem that expands what’s possible for cats and the people who love them. We believe the future is feline. And we’re imagining that future today.

We work onsite 4+ days a week, with our team based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Juneau, Wisconsin. Our team of 700+ passionate pet people thrives on collaboration, innovation, and the occasional office cameo from a four‑legged friend.

Whisker Marketing We are building the world’s first great cat brand. Not simply a marketing function, but an engine of cultural change. Our work elevates cats and cat parents, rewrites the norms of pet culture, and expands the future of the category we created. We do this by operating full‑stack—from deep consumer insight to breakthrough brand expression to world‑class growth execution. And we’re just getting started.

What You’ll Do At Whisker, the Performance Sprint Studio is where art, psychology, and data collide—and the Creative / Content Strategist leads that charge. This role owns how Whisker shows up in the world’s most visible spaces—paid social, short‑form video, and emerging platforms—where cultural fluency and creative experimentation drive growth. You’ll lead a team built for speed, volume, and insight, transforming creative intuition into measurable impact. Equal parts strategist, anthropologist, and maker, you’ll decode human behavior, identify cultural currents, and craft content that converts curiosity into action.
