The Brand
The entire sportswear industry is built on a lie: charging luxury prices for cheap, petroleum-based polyester that traps sweat, stinks, and degrades. Nero was founded to destroy that standard. We engineer elite, high-performance apparel using only the finest natural fabrics.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional 9-to-5 desk job. It is a high-intensity apprenticeship designed for someone with one of two clear goals:
The Future Founder: You want to master the craft of direct-response creative, paid media, and brand strategy so you can build and scale your own DTC brand.
The High-Income Operator: You want to build an undeniable, seven-figure portfolio and track record as a top-tier Creative Strategist by driving real scale with aggressive ad budgets.
You will work directly alongside the founder, learning the full architecture of direct-to-consumer growth: high-converting direct-response creative, paid media mechanics on Meta and TikTok, scripting, visual hooks, positioning, and offer construction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You won’t be managing calendar invites or filing brand decks. You will be actively ideating, brief-writing, and iterating ads with real ad spend behind them. If your creative wins and scales, you get paid directly on that upside.
What You’ll Do
- Ideate & Script: Turn customer psychology, product advantages, and objections into high-retention video briefs and static concepts.
- Deconstruct Top Creative: Analyse daily ad performance metrics (thumbstop rates, hold rates, CTR, CPA) to understand why winning ads print and failing ads die.
- Produce & Iterate: Coordinate UGC creators, edit quick iterations, test dynamic hooks, and produce modular creative assets designed to scale.
- Build a Creator Roster: People who produce great content and brief them on a regular basis.
- Direct Growth Strategy: Sit in on creative analysis and scaling decisions, learning how creative strategy dictates ad account efficiency.
- Attend Video Shoots: and help execute content that will be used in paid ads

Who This Is For
- The Aspiring Brand Founder: You see direct-to-consumer advertising as the master skill of modern business and want an unfair advantage before launching your own venture.
- Baseline Creative Intuition: You consume short-form video obsessively (TikTok, Reels) and already have a sense of what makes people stop, watch, and buy.
- Obsessive Work Ethic: Not afraid to work overtime if needed
- Data-Informed Thinking: You don't view ads as "art projects"; you view them as revenue engines that need to be measured, tested, and iterated.
What You Get
- Direct Founder Mentorship: Daily access to proven brand-building frameworks, creative playbooks, and direct-response methodology.
- Bonus Structure: Earn significantly above market rate if your creative drives profitable scale.
- The Blueprint: Everything you need to know about paid acquisition, creative scaling, and e-commerce operations.
