Pawezy is an Australian-born pet lifestyle and wellness brand founded in Melbourne, creating premium dog gear and supplements that make everyday life easier, happier and healthier for dogs and their humans.
Since launching in 2021, we’ve expanded into New Zealand and, more recently, the United States. Today, we’re trusted by over half a million dog parents worldwide. We’ve been featured in Vogue Australia and on 7NEWS, and thanks to the support of our Pawezy community, we’ve donated over $1 million worth of products to RSPCA Victoria and other dog rescue organisations across Australia.
We’re a collaborative in-house marketing team where creativity and commercial thinking go hand in hand. Our creative approach combines research, fresh ideas and performance insights to develop advertising that connects with customers and delivers results.
If you want to see your ideas come to life and make a real impact, this is the kind of opportunity we offer.
About the Role
We’re looking for a creative and commercially minded Creative Strategist to help drive ad creative ideation and content strategy across paid social.
You’ll contribute to weekly ad concepts and monthly content ideation, working closely with our marketing and creative teams to keep our creative pipeline fresh and performance-driven across our Australian and US markets.
This role has a strong focus on creative research, customer psychology and direct-response advertising . You’ll research and analyse customer behaviour, pain points and purchasing motivations, and develop compelling concepts, hooks, angles and scripts designed to drive customer action. You’ll also use creative performance insights to identify opportunities, refine ideas and continuously improve our advertising.
You’ll also receive training on our internal creative tools, frameworks and processes from day one.
