A fast-growing, globally established home & lifestyle brand is looking for a Creative Strategist to lead their UK paid social creative as they build out a brand-new UK arm of the business.
Already a major name internationally, the brand is now investing serious budget into scaling its presence in the UK market from the ground up. With strong backing, an ambitious growth plan, and a lean founding team on the ground, this is a genuinely rare opportunity to shape a market from day one.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role sitting at the intersection of data and creativity. You'll own the UK paid social creative process end-to-end, briefing, testing, iterating and reporting, working closely with global creative and an external creative agency to keep pace with a fast-moving growth agenda.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end creative strategy process for UK paid social, using customer insight, performance data and platform best practice to produce high-performing ads
- Manage a creative roadmap, tracking what's briefed, in progress, ready to test and next
- Build a deep understanding of the UK customer through internal data, reviews and other sources
- Run parallel creative workflows: iterating on existing assets and launching new creative to unlock growth
- Write clear, hypothesis-led creative briefs that highlight key product USPs
- Collaborate with producers, creative directors, editors and external agency partners (local and global) to bring ideas to life
- Monitor and report on ad performance, sharing learnings and actions with UK and global stakeholders
- Source and activate UK creator content, building a pipeline of relevant talent for whitelisted ads
- Work closely with global brand and product teams while tailoring creative to UK tone, culture and seasonality
