About UMAEZWe build brands.UMAEZ is a marketing incubator and brand operator — we develop real products people actually want, then build the entire machine that sells them: creative, media, retention, fulfillment, everything it takes to reach our customers' doorstep. Our brands are in the 7–8 figure range across the US and Southeast Asian markets, and growth is built entirely on creative research, testing, and iteration — at volume.We move fast, ship often, and put customer desire first — a small, high-standards, low-ego team that owns outcomes, not just tasks. Testing velocity and iteration discipline are what determine how fast we grow: creative strategy here is a real performance function, not a vibes-based exercise.The RoleAs our US Creative Strategist, you'll own the creative pipeline for our US-market brands: research → concept → script → brief → post-launch analysis → iteration.
