We don't. Performance creative done well is a real craft, and we hire people who already know that.\nHere's why this is different from every other job you've looked at:\nMore reps than anywhere else. You'll write more scripts, ship more hooks, see more of your work go live in your first 8 weeks at WITHIN than a brand creative gets in their first year somewhere else. Reps are how taste develops. The data tells you within 48 hours whether you nailed it.\nDirect access. For your first 8 weeks, you're on Quinn's team - our Head of Creative. Working on 2-3 live client accounts. Pitching new business. Owning work, not shadowing it. At most shops your level, you'd be three layers down.\nThe work mix is 70% performance creative + 30% campaign development and rebrands for brands you'd recognize. The 30% is a real perk - but it's not the reason to take this job. If you don't already think performance creative is interesting in itself, please apply somewhere else.\nAt week 8, fellows who've shown they can own work at our velocity move into the broader creative team under one of our Creative Directors as full-time Creative Leads.\nWe're looking for three things we can't train: hustle, taste, and curiosity.\nWho you are\nYou've made something real. Maybe a TikTok account that grew past 5K followers because the content was actually good. Maybe a Substack. Maybe a spec campaign for a brand you love that they never asked for. The work is public and shows your taste.\nYou can write a hook in 90 seconds that makes someone stop scrolling - and you can articulate why it works.\n You think performance creative is interesting in itself. You've thought about hooks, fatigue, iteration, platform mechanics. You read ad teardowns. You watch ads and have opinions about what's working before you check the metrics.\nYou're already using AI tools in your creative workflow. Midjourney, Runway, Sora, ElevenLabs, Veo, whichever - and you have strong opinions about which are real and which are hype.\nEither you're a recent grad of a portfolio or design program (Brandcenter, Miami Ad School, SVA, FIT, Parsons, Pratt, Newhouse, RISD, equivalent) OR you've spent the last 1-3 years building an audience and learning to make things people stop for.\nYou live in NYC or you're moving for this. This fellowship is in person.\nWho you are not\n\"I need to ramp up before I can ship work.\"\nLooking for a senior title and a quiet corner.\nYou think performance creative is what you do to pay the bills until you can do \"real creative.\" The 30% brand work isn't going to be enough to keep you happy if you don't already love the 70%.\nPortfolio is beautiful posters with no brand attached, no audience, no result.\nWhat you'll do\nPitch concepts daily. Ship work weekly.\nWrite scripts, draft storyboards, set design direction across video, static, and AI-generated formats.\nWork with a team of designers, editors, motion designers, and AI tools to execute your concepts.\nSit in on new business pitches and own meaningful sections of the work.\nWatch your work go live within days, not months. Be wrong publicly. Iterate fast.\nProgram structure\nWeeks 1-2: Onboarding. WITHIN's process, our tools, our standards. Shadow live work briefly, then start contributing.\n Weeks 3-8: Work directly with Quinn (Head of Creative) on 2-3 client accounts plus new business pitches. Real ownership, real deadlines.\nEnd of week 8: Fellows who've shown ownership at our velocity transition to the broader creative team under one of our Creative Directors as full-time Creative Leads.\nHow to apply\nWe don't want a cover letter. Send:\nA link to your work - portfolio, TikTok, Instagram, Substack, YouTube, whatever shows the real version of how you think.\nA 60-second Loom: pick one ad currently running in market, tell us what's working and what you'd change. Don't script it. Just talk. This is the most important part of your application. We're listening for whether you talk about performance craft with genuine interest.\nOne sentence: what's a piece of work you wish you'd made, and why?\nWe offer a competitive salary and benefits based on education, experience, and skills level, including: \nUnlimited vacation policy\nMonthly Phone Stipend\nComprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance options\n401(K) plan with matching\nDog friendly office\nHybrid work opportunity\nProfessional Development Program\nBonus Perk - Seamless allowance\nTotal compensation based on education, experience, and skills level ($45,000-$99,000)\nLevel 1 - $45,000-$55,800Entry Level - Meets qualifications on a minimum basis\n\nLevel 2 - $55,800-$66,600Junior level - Exceeds qualifications on a moderate basis\n\nLevel 3 - $66,600-$77,400Middle Level - Exceeds qualifications on a strong basis\n\nLevel 4 - $77,400-$88,200Advanced Level - Exceeds qualifications on an extensive or advanced basis\n\nLevel 5 - $88,200-$99,000Senior Level - Exceeds qualifications on an outstanding basis\n\nAbout WITHIN\nWITHIN is the world's first Performance Branding company, partnering with some of the biggest brands in the world to drive business growth through innovative marketing strategies.
