Summary

We are looking for someone with proven experience in e-commerce creative strategy, preferably within DTC brands, performance marketing agencies, or fast-growing online retail businesses. You should understand how paid social creatives work and how to create ads that are not only visually engaging, but also designed to drive measurable results. You should have a strong understanding of direct-response principles, UGC-style content, offer positioning, scroll-stopping hooks, problem-solution messaging, product demonstrations, social proof, and customer psychology. You do not need to personally edit videos, but you must understand what makes a video ad perform well and be able to give clear direction to editors and content creators. About the Role: As our Creative Strategist, you will be responsible for developing new advertising angles, hooks, concepts, and creative testing ideas for our e-commerce brands. You will work closely with our internal team, video editors, designers, and content creators to ensure that every creative is based on a clear strategy and testing hypothesis. This role is not about simply coming up with random creative ideas. We are looking for someone who can think strategically, analyze performance data, understand why certain ads win or lose, and use those insights to continuously improve our creative output. You should be able to research competitors, study winning ads, identify trends, analyze customer objections, and translate all of this into clear creative briefs for editors, designers, and UGC creators. The ideal candidate should have previous experience as a Creative Strategist, Performance Creative Strategist, UGC Strategist, Media Buyer with strong creative expertise, or a similar role in e-commerce or paid social advertising. You should be able to provide examples of previous creative strategies, ad concepts, creative briefs, or campaigns you have worked on. We value candidates who can clearly explain their creative process and show how their ideas contributed to better campaign performance. Please include the following in your application: 1.) A short introduction about your experience with e-commerce creative strategy. 2.) Examples of creative briefs, ad concepts, or campaigns you have worked on. 3.) Your process for researching competitors and creating new ad angles. 4.) Any results you have helped achieve, such as improved CTR, lower CPA, higher ROAS, better testing output, or improved creative performance. 5.) Your hours availability per day We are looking for a long-term partner who can help us build a professional creative system and support the continued growth of our e-commerce business. If you are strategic, data-driven, creative, and understand how to create ads that sell, we would love to hear from you. To show that you read the full job post, please start your application with the word “CREATIVE”.
