On each account you partner with a Growth Strategist, who runs media and the client relationship, while you run the creative side. We're hiring at the Mid level of our Creative Strategist career path (Junior, Mid, Senior, then Lead or Director). We'll also talk to strong Junior and Senior candidates and level you against the same grid we use for the team. What you'll do Write your own briefs, covering angle, persona, awareness stage, hook and format. Take a concept from brief to finished asset without hand-offs: statics, video cuts, UGC edits and landing page modules. Pull customer language from reviews and ad comments, then build personas and message maps before you open a design file. Run content gap analysis on competitors in the Meta Ad Library and on the account's own ads. Explain why an ad works using hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA and creative tags. Design tests with a hypothesis, one variable and a success metric, and log every result in our platform. Know how attribution windows change creative results, and flag a "winner" propped up by view-through conversions. Design landing page and product page sections, and watch Clarity recordings to see what visitors skip. Present creative on client calls and turn the feedback into the next round. Plan monthly output against the media plan and keep your hours inside each account's scope. Turn a repeatable production task into an AI workflow your teammates reuse. Write up creative gaps on your accounts with the extra scope and cost they would need.
