Reports To: Marketing Manager, Brand & Creative
About the RoleWithin Marketing at GEICO -- a team in the middle of a significant transformation -- brand creative is how millions of people come to know, remember, and choose us. Keeping one of America's most beloved brands sharp, culturally relevant, and working hard for the business is a real competitive advantage and a must-do.
As Marketing Lead on the Brand & Creative team, you'll take part in the development of GEICO's brand advertising in partnership with our creative agency of record and in-house creative teams. You'll collaborate day-to-day with creative agencies, shape briefs and creative through development, and make sure the work delivers against strategic business objectives and budgets. You'll partner across Social, Creative Studio, Communications, and Analytics so that every campaign is cohesive across the customer journey and gets smarter with each rotation.
This role is a strong fit for someone who has both a creative eye and an operator's discipline -- you can give an agency sharp, consolidated feedback in the morning and untangle talent rights and ad expirations in the afternoon. You'll be close to work that reaches culture at national scale, with real room to shape how the team plans, reviews, and learns from its creative.
Key ResponsibilitiesAgency Partnership & Creative Development- Collaborate on the day-to-day relationship and project work for GEICO's creative agency of record.

- Provide creative input and recommendations throughout the development process; capture and communicate consolidated feedback to agencies.
- Review marketing and non-marketing materials to ensure all creative adheres to GEICO's brand voice and visual identity.
Cross-Functional Campaign Integration- Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to develop omnichannel campaigns aligned with business, product, and marketing goals.
- Partner with internal Social and Creative Studio teams to ensure shared strategic direction, brand cohesion, and campaign extension across the customer journey.
- Partner with Internal and External Communications to amplify awareness of campaigns as they go to market.
Creative Performance & Insights- Synthesize and circulate creative performance metrics from Analytics.
- Partner with Analytics to interpret creative performance and incorporate findings into current and future work.
Project Management & Operations- Maintain organization of Brand & Creative projects, holding accountability for deadlines and stakeholder reviews.

- Visualize and share creative rotations with internal and external stakeholders.
- Manage talent, usage rights, and ad expirations for commercials and external assets.

You May Be a Good Fit If You- Have managed creative agency relationships day to day -- or worked agency-side -- and know how to keep a partner focused on strategy, deadlines, and budget.
- Can look at a rough cut or a concept board and articulate clearly what's working, what isn't, and why it matters for the brand.
- Have worked inside a business where marketing is tied directly to winning and keeping customers, and you think about creative in terms of what it does for the business.
- Can take feedback from several stakeholders and turn it into one clear, actionable direction for an agency.
- Are the person who keeps the roadmap, the rotation schedule, and the rights tracker accurate -- and you don't let details like talent expirations slip.
- Use performance data to make the next round of creative better, not just to report on the last one.
- Do your best work in a fast-moving environment where processes are still being shaped, and you like helping shape them.
- Want to work on a brand people already know and love, and help it keep earning its place in culture.
Ideal Experience- Experience: 3+ years of brand management experience or comparable creative agency experience.
