Creative Direction & Strategy: Pitch new video concepts, trends, and campaign ideas to keep the brand fresh. Work with Simon to align content with marketing goals (product launches, seasonal campaigns, etc.). Maintain a consistent visual style that reflects the Guardfather identity: clean, modern, and trustworthy.
