Creative Strategist - DTC/Ecommerce Paid Social
Company Overview
It is one of the fastest-growing remote creative and performance marketing agencies in the United States, scaling direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce brands through paid advertising and high-volume creative assets. Founded by experienced industry operators with a decade of expertise in the DTC space, the agency produces over 100 in-house ad creatives a month. The team holds an exceptionally high bar for execution, moving away from theoretical strategies to run fast-paced, direct, and high-growth ad accounts for an exclusive, waitlisted client base.
Mission
We are looking for a deeply creative, data-informed Creative Strategist who lives and breathes paid social ad performance. In this role, you will own the creative strategy for our client portfolios—conducting rigorous market research, developing high-volume ad concepts, writing production-ready briefs, and translating raw performance metrics into winning ad iterations. This is a high-volume, pure strategy and ideation role, not a visual design or video editing seat. If you are a marketer at your core who constantly studies viral hooks, thumb-stops, and consumer psychology because you genuinely love the craft, you'll feel right at home.
Key Responsibilities
Your daily tasks will vary, giving you room to learn, grow, and strengthen your skills while supporting the team with excellence.

- Develop 10+ production-ready creative briefs weekly, balancing entirely new visual angles with data-backed iterations of winning ads.
- Monitor live ad accounts daily to extract clear, data-driven insights from creative metrics like click-through rates and hook rates.
- Lead weekly creative reviews per account to analyze performance wins, dissect ad failures, and map future testing strategies.
- Execute precise quality control reviews on editor video cuts, delivering clear feedback notes and hopping on alignment calls with production.
- Maintain flawless project organization in ClickUp, taking full ownership of deadlines, asset statuses, and internal creative reporting.

- Industry Knowledge Required: Deep understanding of short-form video formats (UGC, TikTok, IG Reels), performance creative metrics, hooks, scriptwriting angles, and multi-niche DTC e-commerce ecosystems.
- Specific Gender: No preference
Skills & Competencies
