Job Summary

Own end-to-end creative concepting and testing for high-spend Meta campaigns, turning audience language into scalable ad formats and testing frameworks that move from insight to scale.

  • Responsibilities: avatar/market research to spark original angles; concept ownership from insight to finished ad; rapid weekly creation across brands; structured testing, weekly win/lose analysis, and close founder collaboration.
  • Audience-to-adopting: leverage Reddit, reviews, and forums to craft messages that win in high-skepticism markets; build briefs that editors/des designers can execute without rework.
  • Measurement: own the testing lifecycle and clustering of winners to inform new creative clusters and future concepts.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Perform deep avatar and market research weekly — Reddit, TikTok comments, Amazon reviews, competitor ad libraries — and translate findings directly into creative concepts
  • Develop original angles and concepts — you don't just execute briefs, you own the idea from insight to finished ad
  • Build 3–5 net-new creative concepts per week across multiple brands — video, native, static
  • Write and brief native advertorials, VSL scripts, podcast-style scripts, and static ad concepts
  • Build detailed concept briefs for our editors and designers to execute, then review the executed ads to ensure the brief was followed correctly
  • Own the testing structure — what gets tested, how it's isolated, when it's killed, when it graduates to scaling
  • Analyze winners and losers weekly — identify what voice, moment, belief, enemy, and format carried the winner, and build new clusters around the common core
  • Attend weekly team calls to discuss what's winning, what's losing, and what's next
  • Work directly with the founder to develop new angles and concepts as we scale

Requirements

  • $1M+ annual Meta/Instagram ad spend that your creative has personally supported — not assisted, not on a team, your concepts running at that level
  • Experience building creative for campaigns handling multi-five-figure daily spend — you know how to build for scale, not just small tests
  • Built Meta/Instagram direct response creative for physical DTC eCommerce brands — supplements, health, or similar high-skepticism markets preferred
  • You develop your own angles and concepts — not just a brief executor
  • You can read an account — you know the difference between a creative that lost and a creative the algorithm never let breathe
  • Fluent English with exceptional command of conversational American copy — every line reads like a real human, not a copywriter
  • Read Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz — or can prove you apply awareness levels in practice without being told
  • You mine customer language before building a single concept — Reddit, reviews, TikTok, forums
  • You can show us real creative that actually ran at serious scale
  • Experience: Copywriting: 1 year (Preferred)

Nice to have

  • Obsessed with why creative works, not just whether it looks good
  • Treats avatar research like a religion
  • Brings original angle thinking — you see opportunities others miss
  • High output, low ego
  • Coachable but brings genuine instinct to the table
  • Punctual, organised, strong communicator
  • Thrives in a fast-moving, high-standard environment

Benefits

  • Family leave
  • Flexible schedule
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays + sick days
