How to Apply for Creative Strategist - EdTech (French fluent 🇫🇷)
at Paradox
🏢 About Paradox
Paradox appears to be an EdTech company focused on personal development and media creation, uniquely positioned at the intersection of personal branding and educational content. The company's approach of transforming a personal brand into a 'Top-Tier Media' suggests they value innovative content strategies and have ambitious growth goals. Working here would appeal to creative professionals who want to build media empires rather than just create content.
About This Role
This Creative Strategist role involves architecting a dual-brand strategy for David Laroche's personal brand and Paradox's company brand, ensuring they reinforce each other without cannibalization. You'll lead the entire content creation process from concept to execution, manage a creative team, and collaborate with growth teams to produce conversion-focused content. This role is impactful because you'll directly shape how both brands are perceived and grow in the competitive EdTech space.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with analyzing performance metrics from recent content to identify what's working, then moving into creative sessions with the content team to storyboard new concepts and provide artistic direction. You'd likely spend time scripting hooks for upcoming videos, collaborating with the Head of Growth on conversion-focused content strategies, and reviewing content to ensure it aligns with both David Laroche's personal brand and Paradox's company objectives.
