The Role in One Line
Decide where our brands and clients should compete, how they should win and where they should grow next, then make it happen through AI-powered marketing, great content and a young, high-energy team.
About Futura
Futura Media & Marketing is the AI marketing, media and creative company of the NUVEXA Group, a founder-led, profitable and fast-growing group based in Bengaluru.
We help two kinds of clients grow:
- Our own brands in nutrition, wellness, skincare, personal care, pharma and D2C, such as RUGD MEN, SuperBeing Nutrition, Super Titans, Super Envi and AAurveda.
- External clients: startups, D2C brands, SMEs and large companies in India, the USA and global markets.
We offer AI marketing, performance marketing, content and creators, marketplace and quick-commerce growth, CRM and retention, and brand and growth strategy.
Why This Role Is Different
- Strategy that makes money, not reports. Every idea you bring must lead to a decision, a launch and measurable revenue.
- You create, not just plan. You will write hooks, script videos and build content plans yourself.
- AI-first. You will use our own AI intelligence tools every day and help turn them into products.
- India, USA and global. You will work on our own brands and on clients across markets.
- You build the business. You will help design new services, pricing and revenue streams for Futura.
- You lead a young team. You will build, motivate and grow a team of Gen Z and Millennial talent.
What You Will Do
1. Find the Next Growth Opportunity
- Build growth strategies for our brands and clients: where to play, how to win, and which products, channels and markets to focus on.
- Map markets and categories: size, growth, competitors, prices and profit pools, down to city and pincode level.
- Understand consumers: their needs, problems and buying triggers, through quick research, social listening and AI search data.
- Track competitors and trends, and spot new channels early (quick commerce, marketplaces, creator commerce, AI search).
- Find gaps in the market and recommend what to build or launch, with a clear business case.
- Plan entry into new markets, including the USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Kenya.
2. Position Brands and Take Them to Market
- Define how each brand and product should stand out: positioning, value proposition and key messages.
- Build go-to-market plans: target customers, channels, launch plan, pricing, offers and targets.
- Make sure all claims follow advertising and health rules in India and the USA.
- Stay involved until results come in, and review every launch at 30, 90 and 180 days.
3. Drive AI-Powered, Profitable Marketing
- Design AI-led marketing: smart targeting, fast creative testing, personalisation, and visibility on Google and AI assistants.
- Focus on real business results: sales, low customer acquisition cost (CAC), repeat purchases and retention. Likes and reach alone don't count.
- Build repeat and retention programmes: subscriptions, loyalty, WhatsApp and email journeys, and win-back campaigns.
- Track the numbers that matter: CAC, customer lifetime value, payback period and profit after marketing.
- Stop spend that brings revenue but loses money.
4. Create and Manage Content, End to End
- Plan: set content strategy, brand voice and monthly calendars for every brand and client.
- Create: write and create content yourself, including hooks, scripts, reels, carousels, ad copy, blogs, case studies and newsletters. Use AI to produce more, faster, including content in Indian languages.
- Produce: run a smooth production system with briefs, approvals, templates and an asset library, working with creators and freelancers.
- Publish and engage: share content across social, website, marketplaces and creators. Manage comments, DMs and community.
- Measure: track which content drives sales and retention, test new formats, and keep improving.
- Protect: keep content on-brand, legal and compliant, including health claims and influencer disclosures.
5. Win Big Clients and Build Large Solutions
- Design complete growth programmes for large companies and multi-brand groups, combining strategy, marketing, content, commerce and data.
- Lead strategy for big pitches, from discovery to the final presentation.
- Turn successful work into repeatable playbooks for each industry and market.
6. Build Futura's Revenue Engine
- Design how Futura gets paid: clear pricing, packages, retainers and results-linked fees.
- Create and launch new services, such as: managed marketplace and quick-commerce growth (Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart);
- fixed-price monthly packages for AI creatives, AI-search visibility and content;
- creator and affiliate programmes;
- retention and CRM services;
- growth audits and strategy retainers.
- Work with our tech team to turn our AI tools into products and paid reports.
- Build partner income with platforms such as Shopify, Meta, Google and Amazon.
- Screen opportunities to co-build new brands.
- Work with Finance to keep every client and service profitable, and grow recurring revenue.
7. Lead and Grow a Young Team
- Build: hire curious, creative people and organise them into clear roles and client pods.
- Motivate: give everyone a clear purpose, recognise good work quickly, and give people stretch opportunities.
- Deliver: set clear weekly goals, high standards and regular follow-ups, without micromanaging.
- Grow: show every team member a growth path, coach them, and promote top performers fast.
- Be one of them: work alongside the team, join pitches and late pushes, listen to their ideas, and celebrate wins together.
