Job Summary

Own the brand from voice and visuals to culture-led growth, leading social, influencer partnerships, PR, and real-world activations while aligning with performance marketing.

  • Own brand voice and visual identity across channels
  • Drive partnerships, PR, and activations to grow the brand
  • Collaborate with performance marketing to unify creative and brand messages

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
