Creative Strategist

Inkitt Job Opportunity

Inkitt is building the Disney of the 21st Century, standing at the forefront of technology and entertainment. Leveraging AI and predictive algorithms, Inkitt discovers unknown stories and turns them into blockbuster hits, producing a new $1M ebook every 4 weeks and selling directly to consumers through its Galatea app. Inkitt has become the 11th most bestseller-generating publisher in the world, boasting a 40x higher hit-rate than traditional publishers. Recently raising a Series C and backed by some of the top VC's such as: Khosla, Kleiner Perkins, and NEA Ventures, our recent expansion into CandyJar TV is only the beginning of our journey to becoming the next-gen entertainment powerhouse.

What You'll Do:

• Read books and watch series to extract key USPs and pivotal story elements; synthesize them into punchy hooks and paid ad creative briefs engineered to drive conversion across paid channels.
• Write compelling ad copy and hooks for paid social, distilling a full story into a two sentence scroll stopper optimized for performance.
• Own the paid creative production lifecycle for UA campaigns: conceive performance driven angles, brief designers, manage tickets end to end, and iterate based on UA feedback and ROAS/conversion data.
• Embed within the UA team to align creative with funnel signals, translating what's working in paid channels into new angles, formats, and tests that move CAC and LTV.
• Stay deeply plugged into BookTok, Bookstagram, and Reddit to identify trending formats and hooks before they peak, then translate them into paid ad concepts.
• Experiment with AI video tools and image editing to independently build and iterate on performance assets.
• Develop and manage a pipeline of paid creatives aligned to key marketing beats, evergreen campaigns, and UA testing roadmaps.
• Manage external production partners for more complex creative executions.

What You'll Bring:

• 3+ years of experience in creative strategy or content marketing specifically in support of paid UA or performance marketing, ideally in a fast moving startup.
• Exceptional copywriting skills built for paid social. You can write a hook that stops the scroll and a two sentence synopsis that sells a 400 page book.
• A genuine love of romance: books, movies, TV. You're the person who actually wants to read this content all day.
• Active presence on BookTok, Bookstagram, or romance reading communities. You know what's trending, what tropes are having a moment, and what's coming next.
• Strong analytical instincts: comfortable in Google Sheets/Excel, fluent in performance metrics, and able to connect creative decisions to paid channel outcomes.
• Hands on experience working alongside a paid/UA team with a solid understanding of full funnel marketing and how creative impacts conversion.
• Proficiency with creative tools: CapCut, Premiere Pro, image editing, and AI video tools.
• A bias toward action. You move fast, learn fast, and don't wait for a perfect brief to get started.
