• Diagnose issues impacting performance (tracking gaps, disapprovals, learning limitations, data quality, landing page issues)

Copy & Creative Collaboration

• Write and test ad copy across platforms (headlines, primary text, descriptions, hooks)

• Provide performance-based creative briefs and iteration feedback to designers/video editors

• Evaluate creative performance and iterate quickly (angles, messaging, formats, CTAs)
