Looking for a Creative Strategist Who Actually Lowers CPA? As a Creative Strategist, I drove $177K+ in two months for a supplement brand. Not by increasing the budget. By finding better angles. That's the difference between hiring someone who makes ads and hiring a Creative Strategist who understands how Meta actually works. The algorithm already finds your buyer. That's where I come in as a Creative Strategist. Why Most Creative Strategists Fail? Most Creative Strategists hand off a brief and wait for an editor. Most never touch the production process. Most don't understand media buying. So they create ads that look good but don't survive contact with real traffic. I'm a Creative Strategist who came up through media buying first. I know what metrics punish weak creative before I write a single line. Weak hooks. Weak angles. Slow openings. Pretty ads that convert nothing. What a Creative Strategist Should Actually Do? A Creative Strategist shouldn't start with visuals. A Creative Strategist should start with the customer. The belief that needs to change. The objection blocking the sale. The angle competitors missed. The hook that earns the next three seconds. That's exactly how I approach every project. Creative Strategist + Producer = Faster Testing Cycles Most Creative Strategists depend on editors. I don't. I'm a Creative Strategist who produces AI video ads and creative concepts myself. That means: • Faster launches • Faster testing • Faster feedback loops • More angles tested before competitors catch up Nothing sits in a queue. Nothing gets lost in Slack. Ideas become tests immediately. ## Creative Strategist Built for Tough DTC Niches I work with DTC ecommerce brands on Meta. Supplements. Skincare. Women's health. Jewelry. The categories where cold traffic is expensive and weak creative gets exposed quickly. This is where a strong Creative Strategist earns their keep. My Creative Strategist Process: Step 1: Review customer reviews, comments, surveys, and competitor ads. Step 2: Identify the belief shift required to generate a sale. Step 3: Develop angles built around direct-response principles. Step 4: Write hooks designed to stop the scroll. Step 5: Produce AI video concepts and ad creatives. Step 6: Analyze hook rate, hold rate, CTR, and CPA. Every decision is tied to performance. A Creative Strategist who ignores data is just guessing. What You Get Working With This Creative Strategist ✔ Creative strategy ✔ Angle development ✔ Hook creation ✔ Ad scripting ✔ AI video concepts ✔ UGC concepts ✔ Competitor research ✔ Direct-response creative systems ✔ Performance-focused thinking Who This Creative Strategist Is Best For DTC ecommerce brands that: • Need fresh angles • Need lower acquisition costs • Need better creative testing • Need a stronger creative strategy system • Need a Creative Strategist who understands both creative and performance Ready to See What Your Current Creative Is Missing?

🏆 50+ Successful Upwork Projects | 3,000+ Static Ads Designed | Top Rated Plus ✅ AI Powered Creative Designer for Meta and Google Ads 🎯 Trusted by D2C Brands, Ecom Stores, and Performance Marketing Agencies Hey there..👋 I'm Navneet, the Meta static ad designer who actually knows how to create Ad Creative copy and design high converting ad creatives. Most designers design ads that look amazing in their portfolio but their ads fail in the real world. I'm different because I design ads that connect with your audience and turn them into your customers. Here's what I believe: Your audience doesn't want to see ads. They want the content that resonates with their current life. So I design static ad creatives that speak their language, address their pain points, and make them stop with one strong message. It's about trust, clarity, messaging, and timing. What I Design for You: ✅ Meta Static Ads ✅ Google Display Ad Design ✅ Carousel Format Static Ads ✅ Retargeting Static Ad Creatives ✅ A/B Test Variations & Static Ad Campaign Designs What Makes Me Different: 👉 I think like a creative strategist, design for conveying the message for your brand 👉 Every static ad concept is designed for your specific audience 👉 Fast delivery without compromising quality 👉 Unlimited revisions (your sales and conversions are my goal) 👉 I actually understand business, messaging, and strategy, not just the design part Tools I Use Daily: Adobe Photoshop Figma Canva Illustrator After Effects My process is simple I research what your audience is looking for, what message drives them, and what makes them click. Then I design static ad creatives that reflect those insights. If you want a designer who understands both the creative and the marketing side, I'm here. Let's design static ads that look sharp, perform consistently, and help you scale your ad account with confidence. Share the challenges you're facing with your static ads, and I'll show you how my static ad designs can support your business growth. 🚀 Invite me to your project now or message me if you like my work, and let's get your static ads to the next level.

$149K from $5.5K in spend. That's 27x. Not from a bigger budget. From a better angle. I'll decrease your CPA and increase your ROAS as a Creative Strategist. That's my promise. Send me an invite or message. Let's hop on a Zoom and look at your creative strategy together. I'm Rahul, a Creative Strategist based in India. Meta Ads Specialist too, over a decade in paid social. I work with DTC ecom brands. Supplements, skincare, women's health. A decade as a Creative Strategist in the hardest niches out there. $21M+ in tracked client revenue. 50+ brands. Ten years doing this. $149K from $5.5K in spend. That's 27x. Not from a bigger budget. From a better angle. Your next winning ad isn't in the Ads Library. It's in what your customer already believes. Find that belief, you've got your angle. That's the whole job of a Creative Strategist. Turn what people already believe into angles worth testing. Kill the ones that don't work. Recent results (proof on request): Health and wellness: $149K on $5.5K. 27x ROAS. Home appliances: $377K on $20K. 18x. Food DTC: $299K on $18.5K. 16x. Furniture: $100K on $8.7K. 11x. One apparel brand: $850K+ managed spend, doing $1.4M+ a year. 100% Job Success Score. Top 5 on Upwork for Creative Strategist. Why most Creative Strategists fail Most never touched media buying. They hand off pretty briefs. Cold traffic kills those fast. Then they blame targeting. But the real problem's the angle. I came up through media buying first. Creative Strategist second. I know which metrics punish weak creative before I write a line. How I work Mine reviews, comments, surveys, competitor ads. Find the belief that has to shift before the sale. Build angles on mechanism and direct response principles. Write hooks that earn the next three seconds. Map a testing plan to your real data. Watch hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA. Kill losers fast. What you actually get A brief that names the exact belief shift. Not a vague note your editor has to guess at. A hook bank, not one hook. 5-8 variations per concept, so you're testing real difference. A kill list too. Half this job is telling you what to stop running. "Fine" creative still bleeds your budget. Straight feedback on your account. If targeting's the problem, I'll say targeting. If it's creative, that's on me. Where I learned this Supplements, skincare, women's health. Cold, skeptical buyers. A weak angle dies in 48 hours here. No budget hides it. That's the training ground. Not agency theory. Real accounts, real spend, fast feedback. Who this is for DTC brands on Meta spending $10K+/month. You need fresh angles, lower CAC, and a real testing system. Retainer or full time, either works.

⚠️ Here's the truth: Your business will never scale consistently if you don't know exactly who you're selling to. 🎯 I help eCommerce and DTC brands create high-converting static ad creatives for Meta (Facebook & Instagram) - backed by competitor research ( Foreplay + Atria ) & deep customer anlaysis that eliminates guesswork. Most brands test random creatives hoping something sticks. I take a different approach: understand who you're selling to FIRST, then design ads that speak directly to them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 HOW I CAN HELP: * Make High Converting - Static Ad Creatives Based On Research * You provide the brief - I understand who our target audience is, identify winning frameworks by analysing competitor ads (using tools like Atria, Foreplay etc.) & design high-converting Meta static ad creatives - which are congruent with the headline and visually convey the message. I am well versed with marketing concepts like Avatars, Angles, Unique Mechanisms & Market Awareness Levels, which helps me curate compelling ads - that speak directly to our target audience! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📦 WHAT YOU GET: Creative Deliverables: → Meta Static Ad Creatives (Facebook & Instagram) → Carousel Ads → Retargeting Ad Creatives → A/B Test Variations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ WHY BRANDS CHOOSE ME: → Research-first approach - I find out & understand WHO to target before designing → Strategist + Designer - You get insights AND execution → Limited roster (3-5 brands) - I only work with 3-5 brands at a time, so that I can give my 100%. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 IDEAL FOR: → eCommerce & DTC brands launching Meta ads → Brands stuck with poor ROAS despite testing → Teams who need customer research to guide their creative strategy → Shopify brands ready for research-backed growth ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 NEXT STEP: Send me a message with your brand details. I'll review and share initial thoughts. Tools: Figma, Canva, Higgsfiled, Atria, Foreplay etc ⚠️ I maintain a selective client roster. If you're serious about static ad creatives that actually convert - let's talk.

If you’re here, it’s likely for one of two reasons... You are a badass entrepreneur who’s been in the game for a long time, hungry to extract every ounce of potential from your existing funnels and skyrocket your sales... Or a budding entrepreneur who is striving to give your business the skyrocketing lift-off it deserves… Either way, I’ve got you! I have a knack for the written word where I can seamlessly blend creativity with strategic thinking to create persuasive copy that resonates with your target audience and compels them to take action and drive conversions.

I took part in her flagship copywriting program, a live immersive 8-week course where I learned the ins and outs of marketing, copywriting, and conversion. Plus wrote an entire funnel of assets & got certified by her agency - The Copy Posse. That means I’m well-equipped to tackle any asset that you're looking for - be it ad copy, email campaigns, landing pages, or long-form sales pages. In an attempt to sharpen my copy skills further, I recently enrolled in a monthly mentorship program run by Stefan Georgi and his team of copywriters. I now have the opportunity of receiving hands-on weekly copy coaching from a team of rockstar copywriters who’ve collectively raised 20 billion dollars in sales. That means when you hire me I’ll be bringing their collective expertise to the work that I do for you.

It is very hard nowadays to find someone as dedicated, hard-working, and passionate as Vidisha and I would say I am lucky to have found her.
