Job Responsibilities

At Trafilea, you won’t just make ads — you’ll shape how millions of customers around the world discover, engage, and buy through performance-driven storytelling.

You’ll own the strategy, testing, and iteration of high-volume direct-response ads that move the needle across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google. You’ll lead the creative engine behind campaigns that fuel $500K+ in daily spend, diagnose creative performance through AdBattery and data-driven insights, and build scalable testing frameworks that consistently deliver winning hooks, angles, and storytelling formats.

As Creative Strategist, you will:

• Lead creative strategy for assigned product funnels, ensuring every asset is optimized for direct-response performance.
• Define angles, hooks, and ad structures, blending emotional storytelling with persuasive copy and visual psychology.
• Continuously analyze creative KPIs (ROAS, CTR, Hook Rate, Thumbstop, View Rate) to identify winners and iterate with speed.
• Conduct weekly AdBattery diagnostics to manage variety, freshness, and fatigue across ads.
• Design and execute A/B testing plans for creatives — copy, visuals, formats — with a clear process from hypothesis to iteration.
• Leverage UGC, trends, and platform-specific formats (Meta, TikTok, YouTube) to push creative boundaries and scale performance.
• Collaborate with Creative Operations, Copywriters, and Video Editors to ensure briefs, production, and post-production run seamlessly.
• Partner with Growth and Data teams to align creative strategy with funnel performance and scaling priorities.
• Provide clear, actionable feedback to creators and content partners, ensuring alignment with brand tone and direct-response objectives.
• Stay ahead of platform trends, competitor benchmarks, and consumer behavior shifts to identify and act on new creative opportunities.

• 4+ years of experience in Creative Strategy, Performance Marketing, or Direct Response Advertising (DTC, agency, or similar).
• Proven track record crafting high-converting video ads & UGC content.
• Strong grasp of sales psychology, persuasive copywriting, and buyer persona frameworks.
• Data-driven mindset: confident in reading KPIs, extracting insights, and proposing actionable iterations.
• Hands-on experience with A/B testing, creative diagnostics, and funnel optimization.
• Passion for trends, platform nuances (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), and continuous creative innovation.
• Highly organized and execution-obsessed, with a structured approach to creative planning.
• Strong collaboration & feedback skills — able to align creators, editors, and copywriters toward performance goals.
• Fluent in English (B2+ minimum).
