Darkroom is hiring: Creative Strategist in New York

We're building the future of advertising and are looking for the minds to help us do it. Darkroom is a vertically integrated digital agency pioneering the next generation of consumer-facing brands. A category leader in results-driven growth marketing, Darkroom’s success is attributed to our unique partnership model, purposefully built to launch brands to market and accelerate growth across direct-to-consumer. Our model is predicated on three major partnership structures – Growth & Scaling, Digital Platforms, and Brand & Product Launches – threaded by one cohesive, interdisciplinary team. Taking the startup mindset to the agency space, the collective expertise of our team of entrepreneurs and senior digital marketers are deeply aware of the newest trends in e-commerce, development, and digital marketing. Our learned experience has allowed us to take clients (and internal ventures) from $0 to millions in revenue in just a few months. We work with game-changing brands: Crate & Barrel, Popchips, FEED, Olipop, & CALPAK, to name a few.

This is a fully remote role operating in the EST Time Zone and all business is conducted 100% in English. Open to candidates in the following locations: Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Spain.

We’re looking for a visionary creative leader with deep experience in developing ad concepts for acquisition marketing on Meta. You’re able to dive deep into the pixels and give tactical feedback on design and video, but understand how to thread the needle between performance frameworks, creative testing, and world‑building assets. You’re likely a Designer or Creative Strategist by trade but hyper‑focused on paid media.

You’ll work on our Dark Arts service, that has been newly relaunched as the AI‑powered creative direction service for paid media clients. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of creativity, AI, and performance—combining bold visual storytelling with data‑informed design decisions. You'll report to the Director of Creative and lead the management of Designers and Editors to execute paid media assets across a variety of formats, including static ads, short‑form videos, motion graphics, and UGC content.

Your work will directly impact client performance by delivering a high‑volume of ad concepts, elevated creative direction, and data‑backed testing frameworks. You’ll collaborate closely with performance marketers, designers, and video editors in a fast‑paced, remote environment.
