ABOUT US
EAK Distribution stands as the umbrella entity for a diverse range of e-commerce consumer brands, available on platforms like Amazon.com and directly through our brand websites. While our brands span various categories, they all share a core ethos: they are impact-driven, thoughtfully designed products aimed at providing customers with what they need.
At EAK Distribution, we're not just in the business of selling products - we're shaping the future of e-commerce. Our passion is intertwined with the trust our customers place in our brand, and Amazon is a pivotal platform where this relationship blossoms. But this relationship is only as strong as the individual steering our brand on this platform.
As a rapidly expanding company, our vision is to establish ourselves as a premier consumer products leader, all while fostering an exceptional team and cultivating a vibrant company culture.
Right now, the EAK Distribution team is seeking a dynamic and ambitious Head of Creative Strategy & Brand Experience. You will manage day-to-day creative deliverables, lead the creative team, and ensure consistency across all visual and written content. As well as driving brand strategy, creative direction, and conversion optimization across multiple platforms, including Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok.
