Cold email

We're a B2B creative agency producing podcast-style video ad variations for eCom brands. We've relied on paid Meta ads as our main acquisition channel. It's time to diversify. Cold email is the next channel — and we need someone who can own it completely, not just send messages. This is not a task-based freelance gig. This is a real seat on the team, with real upside tied to results. What You'll Actually Own — A to Z This is a full-stack cold email operator role. You are not handed a list and a template.
