WHY JOIN US?

At Launch Potato, you’ll accelerate your career by owning outcomes, moving fast, and driving impact with a global team of high-performers. Base Salary $100,000 to $125,000 per year, paid semi-monthly. Launch Potato's performance creative runs on briefs. Every asset the Creative Design team produces starts with a brief that specifies the persona, hook rationale, format, platform context, CTA, and the performance hypothesis being tested. The Creative Strategist is the person who writes those briefs and owns the full upstream strategy behind them. You determine what gets made, who it's for, and why it should win, and you communicate it with enough precision that nothing is lost between strategy and execution. LP operates a centralized hub-and-spoke creative model: this role feeds the hub with concepts and performance intelligence while media buyers test at speed across verticals. Your job is to make sure everything entering that hub is grounded in real audience understanding, not intuition alone.
