Creative Analyst

WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world. 

About the Role

Creative Analyst is a hybrid strategic, creative and paid media role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of creativity, media performance, and client partnership. You’ll help bridge the gap between data-driven insights and high-impact creative execution by collaborating across Creative, Media, and Account teams. From writing briefs and roadmapping to analyzing creative performance and authoring detailed post-mortems, you'll be a key player in shaping creative strategy that drives measurable growth.

This role is a strong stepping stone into a future Creative Strategist position—ideal for someone eager to evolve beyond reporting and into leading strategic vision for creative testing and innovation. 

What You’ll Do

• Own the development of project briefs that align with media strategy and campaign objectives, ensuring all specs are met per paid media platform
• Manage a creative roadmap across geographies and audiences in close partnership with media and creative stakeholders
• Analyze creative performance data to surface insights, identify trends, and inform strategic direction
• Deliver clear, actionable post-mortems that evaluate creative test results and inform future creative direction
• Act as a key point of contact for cross-functional teams, fostering alignment between media teams, project management, and creative design
• Partner with Creative Strategists to produce audits, performance reviews, and creative presentations for clients
• Facilitate creative feedback loops and maintain organized documentation of testing progress and performance
• Grow to lead client calls and internal reviews, contributing strategic POVs and performance narratives
• Collaborate with Project Management and Account teams to improve process efficiency and cross-team communication
• Contribute to thought leadership initiatives (e.g., case studies, testing brainstorms, process improvements) that highlight creative impact
  
  

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of experience in creative strategy, media buying, or account management at a digital agency or in-house team
• Proven ability to analyze performance data and translate it into actionable creative insights. You should be comfortable with large data sets, inclusive of pivot tables, vLOOKUPs, and more
• Strong writing skills, with the ability to craft strategic briefs and clear performance recaps
• Comfort presenting to clients and leading cross-functional discussions
• Solid understanding of digital media channels (Meta, Google UAC, YouTube, Programmatic) and how creative drives performance
• A creative mindset with a sharp eye for what makes ad creative resonate across platforms
• High attention to detail, organization, and ability to juggle multiple projects at once under fast-moving timelines

Additional things that will impress us:

• Experience working with creative production teams or managing creative development processes
• Familiarity with creative testing methodologies and tools
• Agency background with experience in fast-paced, high-stakes environments
• Ability to advocate confidently for creative or strategic recommendations based on data
• A passion for both the art and science of advertising
