Are you obsessed with what makes people click, watch, and buy?

Do you see creative strategy as more than just making things look good—but as a science of identity, behavior, and emotional triggers?

If you're nodding, keep reading.

We’re Dash Activate Online, a performance marketing agency helping digital brands grow fast by building scroll-stopping, psychology-driven ad creative.

We’re looking for a Creative Strategist who can help us think, not just create—someone who can decode human behavior and turn it into messaging that drives results.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Develop strategic creative concepts based on buyer psychology and avatar identity.
Write briefs and messaging frameworks for UGC videos, static ads, and performance creative.
Review ad performance data (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, etc.) to shape test strategy.
Lead weekly creative testing initiatives and help us iterate faster, smarter.
Work closely with our media buyers, designers, and editors to scale winners and cut the rest.

This is a remote, async-first role with flexible hours. Start part-time (15–20 hrs/week) and grow with us.

Understand why good creative works—not just what it looks like.
Have experience with Meta/TikTok Ads, UGC scripting, and funnel-aware messaging.
Think in angles, hooks, emotions, and avatar identities.
Get more urgent when results dip—not more passive.
Love analyzing patterns, testing new ideas, and writing with purpose.

You won’t be designing or editing—this role is about strategy, direction, and creative intent.

Have experience analyzing creative KPIs like hold rate and hook retention.
Are familiar with frameworks like Mindstates for Marketing, Jobs To Be Done, or levels of awareness.
Have worked in eCom, coaching, or direct-to-consumer brands.

How to Apply:

We built a short application to get to know how you think, not just what you've done.
