- Review all creative assets (copy and design) for message clarity, strategic alignment, and adherence to direct response best practices
- Provide clear, actionable feedback to the creative team to ensure assets are optimized for performance on each platform
- Collaborate closely with media buying and growth teams to analyze ad performance data and identify opportunities for creative testing and iteration
- Be detail-oriented and capable of meeting tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Qualifications and Skills:
- 5-10 years of experience as a Paid Social Creative Strategist or in a similar performance creative role, with a strong focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands
- Proven experience working for brands with non-physical products, such as in the fintech space
- Deep knowledge of direct response (DR) best practices and a track record of creating high-performing ad creative
- A strong portfolio demonstrating a strategic approach to paid social advertising and a keen understanding of what drives conversions
- An innate curiosity for social media trends and a proactive approach to sourcing competitive inspiration
