Job description

Gupta Media was founded over 25 years ago on the idea that advertising could create huge leverage in our clients' businesses. Our work initially focused on the entertainment industry, specifically live events and recorded music (SXSW, Sony Music, Universal Music, and Disney Music Group are all clients). We have grown to include global brands (Amazon, Sophia Learning), major sports franchises (X Games, Florida Panthers, Washington Commanders, Cleveland Cavaliers, Women’s Tennis Association), as well as public sector institutions (City of Boston, Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism).

At Gupta Media, we blend creative thinking with analytical rigor to help brands grow. As a Senior Creative Strategist on our Strategy & Analytics team, you’ll operate at the intersection of media, data, and storytelling — translating insights into high-performing creative that drives measurable business outcomes.

You’ll partner with clients and internal teams to uncover audience insights, develop testing roadmaps, and guide the creation of content that performs — not just because it looks good, but because it works.

What You’ll Do

Creative Strategy & Leadership

• Develop creative briefs and campaign strategies that connect brand storytelling with performance goals.
• Translate audience insights, data trends, and platform learnings into actionable creative direction.
• Analyze creative performance — identifying what works, what doesn’t, and why — and lead the iteration process.
• Serve as a strategic partner to clients and internal teams, fluent in both creative and analytical conversations.
• Present findings and creative recommendations with clarity, confidence, and data-backed rationale.

Testing & Optimization

• Design and manage creative testing frameworks across digital channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google Ads, etc.).
• Partner closely with media and analytics teams to connect creative hypotheses to measurable KPIs (CTR, CVR, ROAS, CPA).
• Develop and maintain creative testing roadmaps that fuel continuous improvement and innovation.
• Synthesize performance data into insights that inform future concepts, hooks, and messaging strategies.

Collaboration & Production

• Work cross-functionally with creative, production, and media teams to deliver high-performing assets aligned to business objectives.
• Brief and review ad concepts informed by data, cultural trends, and platform best practices, including UGC, static, and video creative.
• Provide actionable feedback to elevate storytelling, clarity, and conversion potential.
• Champion creative excellence through collaboration, iteration, and experimentation.

About You

• 5+ years of experience in creative strategy, performance marketing, or digital advertising, ideally within an agency or growth environment.
• Deep knowledge of performance creative across paid media channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Google, LinkedIn).
• Strong analytical mindset, comfortable pulling and interpreting data from Ads Manager, Google Analytics, or internal dashboards.
• Skilled communicator and storyteller, able to simplify complexity and inspire both creative and analytical audiences.
• Hands‑on experience with creative testing, data‑driven iteration, and performance optimization.
• Excellent project management and organization skills; able to balance multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Familiarity with UGC and influencer creative trends is a plus.
• A passion for creative that performs, and for the data that proves it.
