Creative Strategist — 2-Week Contract

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

Twelve campaign briefs in two weeks. Six a week. That's the entire scope — no standing meetings, no roadmap, no "other duties as assigned." Shipr is a Tampa-based 3PL for ecommerce brands. We bulk inventory from China to the US on DDP freight, then pick and pack out of our own warehouse on one flat line item no setup fee, no receiving fee, no storage fee, no SKU fee, packaging included. Our buyers are founders and ops leads who have already been burned: three-week transit times, chargebacks piling up, a 3PL invoice with fourteen charges they never agreed to. Your job is to turn that into creative that makes them stop scrolling and book a call. What you're briefing against Three defined ICPs, all documented before you arrive: 1. The Graduating Dropshipper — China-fulfilled, losing money to transit time and disputes. Our angle is keep your supplier, move the freight. Nobody in the category is running this. It's the open lane. 2. The Unhappy Switcher — already at a 3PL, bleeding margin on junk fees. Crowded lane; the fee-teardown ad has been done to death. You'll need a format that isn't the one everybody else is running. 3. The Basement Packer — still packing orders in the garage at 11pm. Emotional lever, not a spreadsheet lever. You're not starting from a blank page. You get the ICP playbooks, a competitor swipe file sorted by ICP, and a documented voice and visual system. You're expected to work inside it matching hook logic, structure, and strategic approach. Improve it with evidence, don't redesign it in week one. What a good brief looks like here A single ICP, a single insight, a single CTA Pain-first hook, specific proof, no adjective stacking A shot list or reference an editor can actually execute from without calling you Claims we can defend if we can't verify it, it doesn't go in Briefs that read like decks don't get used. Briefs that get made into ads that book calls do. You're probably a fit if You've done B2B marketing strategy hands-on, not in a supervisory layer above it You've written briefs or campaigns for 3PL, logistics, supply chain, or fulfillment brands — a strong plus, not a hard requirement You know how to position a complex service to operators and finance people who buy on cost, risk, and time You think commercially. You write to move an audience, not to fill a page You can hit six briefs a week without the sixth one being filler You're probably not a fit if You need a full discovery phase before you can write anything Your instinct is to rebrand rather than to sell "Part-time, two weeks" reads to you as low stakes Terms Pay: $70 per brief, 12 briefs, paid weekly on delivery Length: 2 weeks, part-time, remote Reports to: the founder, directly. Feedback is fast and specific Extension: if the work performs, there's more of it To apply Send two things: Two briefs you've written that were actually produced — and one line each on what the creative did in-market Your read, in a paragraph, on how you'd approach the Graduating Dropshipper No cover letter. We'll judge you on the briefs.
