The Role
Most agencies treat creative as an output, we treat it as a growth lever.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Creative Strategist who knows how to turn customer insights, performance data and direct-response principles into creative that drives growth for DTC/eCommerce brands.
You'll own the ad creative across a portfolio of eCommerce brands in the USA and Canada, developing concepts, angles, messaging, creative briefs and testing strategies that drive measurable commercial results.
You'll be part of a high-performing cross-functional Squad, working alongside a Growth Strategist, Media Buyer, Visual Designer, Campaign Coordinator and Copywriter. Together, you'll work towards a shared goal: driving growth for our eCommerce clients.
This role is not for someone still learning the fundamentals of performance creative.
