Job Summary

Own and grow the brand voice, visuals, and strategy across social, partnerships, PR, and activations, while leading cross-functional collaboration and agency partners.

  • Own brand voice and visual identity
  • Lead partnerships, PR, and activations to drive brand storytelling

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define and document BugMD's voice, visual identity, and strategic positioning — building the brand bible from scratch
  • Own organic social (Instagram, TikTok) — setting the content strategy, managing execution, and building a community that engages because the content is genuinely good
  • Lead influencer and creator partnerships — home hacks, cleaning, DIY, gardening, pet and parent creators — managing relationships and ensuring content feels on-brand
  • Drive PR and earned media — securing meaningful placements in home, lifestyle, DIY, and culture publications that build the brand story beyond product features
  • Plan and execute cultural activations and real-world moments that put the brand in front of homeowners and renters when they actually need us
  • Ensure visual and tonal consistency across every touchpoint — from social content to retail shelf to performance creative
  • Manage agencies, creators, and production partners — knowing when to push and when to let them run
  • Partner with the performance marketing team so brand and paid creative feel like the same company

Requirements

  • 6–10 years in brand marketing, creative strategy, or brand management — ideally in food/bev, better-for-you CPG, or DTC with real cultural cachet
  • You've managed or significantly contributed to a brand's voice and visual identity — not just executed other people's directions
  • You understand culture as a participant, not a spectator — you know what's happening before it trends
  • Experience managing agencies, creators, and production partners
  • Comfortable in a lean, fast-moving environment where you don't need a large team to do great work
  • Strong opinions about brand — you'll push back on what's wrong and advocate hard for what's right
  • Excited to build from scratch rather than inherit a finished playbook

Benefits

  • On-site role with travel budget for activations, market visits, and events
  • Health, dental, and vision
  • Amazing, dog-friendly office environment
  • 401k matching
  • Learning & Development Opportunities
  • Flexible PTO
  • 14 Holidays

Naast mijn vaste baan wil ik met EJAM graag mensen helpen om iets moois te maken van hun woning. Met inzicht en een beetje ervaring hoop ik dat mensen zich echt thuis gaan voelen in hun woning of dat ik ze in ieder geval een duwtje in de goede richting kan geven. Waar ik me nog in wil specialiseren is verkoopstyling, maar ook hier wil ik nu al graag mijn steentje bijdragen.
