Creative Strategist – Meta Ads / Direct Response
We are a fast-growing high-ticket education company doing approximately $10M+ per year and scaling aggressively toward $30M+ annual revenue.
Paid social, particularly Meta/Facebook advertising, is one of our primary growth channels.
• Founder-led content
• Actors and actresses
• UGC-style creatives
• Direct-response video ads
• Testimonials and customer stories
• Short-form and longer-form creatives
We are looking for an exceptional Creative Strategist who can help us dramatically increase creative testing volume, find winning angles and build a repeatable creative system that allows us to scale paid media.
• Developing a clear creative strategy and being able to explain and defend why particular audiences, angles, hooks, formats and concepts should be prioritised based on customer research, performance data and direct-response principles.
• Developing new Meta ad concepts, hooks, angles and scripts every week
• Creating founder-led ad concepts using the CEO/founder as the face of the brand
• Developing concepts for actors, actresses and UGC creators
• Writing detailed creative briefs for editors and production
• Studying winning and losing ads and identifying why they performed
• Turning winning creatives into multiple new iterations
• Creating new hooks, openings, formats and messaging angles
• Researching our customers, objections, desires, fears and buying motivations
• Reviewing competitor advertising and identifying opportunities
• Working directly with media buyers to understand what creative is driving qualified leads and sales
• Building a structured creative testing calendar
• Ensuring we are launching a high volume of meaningful creative tests every week
• Tracking creative performance from ad through to lead quality, booked calls and sales
• Building a creative library of winners, learnings, hooks and concepts
• Helping prevent creative fatigue as we scale ad spend.
Revenue, CAC and qualified customers — not likes, views or pretty ads.
You should understand that a low CPL means very little if the leads do not show up or buy.
Your creative decisions should ultimately improve:
• Cost per qualified lead
• Cost per booked call
• Cost per qualified live sales conversation
• Customer acquisition cost
• Revenue
• Profit
We are looking for an A-player, not someone learning creative strategy for the first time.
• 3+ years in direct-response creative strategy in a company doing $10m/year or more
• Significant experience with Meta/Facebook advertising
• Experience creating ads for businesses spending at least $400k–$500k+ per month
• Experience with high-ticket, education, coaching, info products, lead generation, or similar businesses
• Strong direct-response copywriting ability, with proven experience writing both short-form and long-form paid social video scripts at volume.
• Strong understanding of hooks, angles, offers, awareness levels, and customer psychology
• Experience managing a high-volume creative testing process
• Experience working with founders/personal brands
• Experience creating concepts for actors, creators, and UGC
• Ability to interpret media-buying data and turn it into better creative
You Should Be Able to Show Us
• Ads you personally strategized
• Winning hooks and concepts you created
• Examples of ads that scaled significantly
• Approximate ad spend behind your work
• CAC/CPL improvements you helped produce
• Your creative testing process
• How you analyze an ad after it launches
• Examples of how you turned one winning concept into multiple iterations.
What Great Performance Looks Like
Within the first 90 days, we want to see:
• A clear creative testing system installed
• Consistent weekly creative output
• Much higher testing velocity
• New winning angles being discovered consistently
• Successful ads being systematically iterated
• Less dependency on one or two winning creatives
• Creative capable of supporting significantly higher Meta spend
• Improved acquisition economics as we scale.
Who You Will Work With
• Founder / CEO
• Marketing Manager
• Media Buyers
• Video Editors
• Actors / Actresses / UGC Creators
• Sales / Revenue Team
This is a high-accountability role in a company with aggressive growth goals.
We move quickly, test aggressively, and care about measurable results.
