Specifically, you’ll be responsible for:

• Develop and own the creative strategy for paid media (Meta, Tiktok, Google, Amazon) using audience insights and wider market trends to ensure we remain effective. You will work end end from ideation, script writing right through to production.
• Optimising and briefing influencer creative to ensure it flows effectively through to paid media channels.
• Generate innovative ad ideas for visuals, copy, and video by staying updated on industry trends.

Production Management

• Ownership of end-to-end creative production, including briefing teams, timelines, and deliverables.
• Manage relationships with freelancers, and other creatives to bring ideas to life as needed.
• Own creative agency relationship, including brief and asset review and approval process.
• Ensure brand consistency across all assets, aligned with brand guidelines.

Copywriting & Messaging

• Write engaging ad copy that drives clicks, conversions, and brand loyalty.
• Test and refine messages for different audiences and channels for maximum impact.
• Collaborate with content teams to ensure cohesive voice across customer touchpoints.

Testing & Optimisation

• Execute testing strategies to identify high-performing creatives.
• Analyse performance data, providing actionable insights for future ad iterations.
• Optimise creative assets based on performance and audience feedback.

Collaboration & Reporting

• Report on creative performance and optimisation insights to stakeholders.
• Led feedback loop between performance and brand teams.
• Ensure performance creative aligns with brand.
• Own creative ads KPIs such as monthly ad volume and ad win rate.

About you

Great comes in lots of different forms, and we’re really open to seeing candidates from a range of backgrounds. Given the nature of this role and what we’ll ask of you, we do believe that the following skills are needed to be able to deliver to a high standard:

• Circa 4+ years of experience in a Creative advertising role, ideally in a DTC, FMCG, or start-up or relevant experience in a creative agency
• Proven experience creating successful paid ads for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads from ideation through to execution (including shooting video + recording voice overs.)

• Excellent project management and multitasking abilities.
• Understanding of consumer psychology, advertising trends, and audience resonance.
• Collaborative team player with strong communication skills.
• Passion for sustainability and natural products.
• Be nice.

And anyone who has these skills too would likely be a super fit for this role, but these are by no means essential:

• Familiarity with analytics and reporting tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Ads Manager)
