Performance Creative Strategist
TwinklingTree, in partnership with Puck
UK, fully remote. £50,000 to £75,000 plus 10 to 20 percent bonus.
Your evidence sets your level. Not your years.
THE COMPANY
TwinklingTree sells decorative lighting people fall a little bit in love with. Fairy-lit trees, tulip lamps, glowing gardens. Warmth you can plug in.
Behind the storefront sits an AI-native operation growing 250 percent year on year and tracking toward 30 million dollars in revenue. In-house software, automations, and a creative engine that ships concepts to market in days, not weeks. More than 10 million dollars a year goes into paid social, and this role owns the thinking behind it.
THE ROLE
You develop the research, audience opportunities, concepts and briefs behind the paid-social creative, then read the results and turn the learning into the next round of tests. Your concepts get real budget behind them, quickly, and you see performance feedback on every round.
What you'll own:
- Customer research: customers, competitors, reviews and market trends.
- Audience discovery: untapped audiences, customer desires, objections and market gaps.
- Creative development: hooks, scripts, storyboards and production-ready briefs.
- AI leverage: using AI to improve research, ideation and production without outsourcing your judgment.
- Performance review: hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA and conversion.
- Feedback: giving editors and AI creative specialists clear, practical direction.
- Testing: structured tests across messages, formats and audiences.
- Learning: recording what worked and making each creative round stronger than the last.
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.
If you join at senior scope, you'll also define the operating model for the AI content system, build the scorecards and feedback loops that lift creative quality, set priorities across audience discovery, briefing, production and iteration, partner with media buying on what to test, scale or stop, and raise the strategic standard of the wider creative team.
YOUR FIRST NINETY DAYS
Success is defined before you start. In your first thirty days you audit the customers, the performance data, the creative output and the briefing process, identify the highest-value gaps, and begin shipping clear, useful briefs the team can execute.
By day ninety your concepts are producing winners or valuable learning, performance insights consistently shape production, and the team has a clearer pipeline of audiences and tests. At senior scope, day ninety also means practical improvements across the AI content workflow and a learning system the whole team works from.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- At least one year in performance creative, direct-response marketing or closely related DTC ecommerce work.
- Strong customer research, concepting and brief-writing ability.
- Working fluency in Meta creative metrics and performance diagnosis.
- The ability to turn data into a clear creative decision and next test.
- Strong written English and experience communicating with creative teams.
- Confidence using AI tools while retaining independent strategic judgment.
- Evidence of campaigns, concepts, briefs or strategic work you can talk us through.

COMPENSATION AND LOGISTICS
£50,000 to £75,000 base.
The range is real: the lower half reflects strategist scope, and the upper half is reserved for evidence of senior-level ownership and results.
