The Creative Strategist is a data-driven role at the heart of Santevia's customer acquisition. You will own the creative testing roadmap for paid social, which means turning customer reviews, conversations and ad performance data into distinct ad concepts. You'll also write briefs that designers, editors and creators can produce on the first pass, and decide which concepts launch and which get cut. The work runs on a weekly creative cycle, and each month you'll report on what worked, what didn't and what changes next. You will work closely with Marketing, Growth and our creative and creator teams, reporting to the Director of Growth.
This role is well suited to someone who is curious about what makes customers buy, makes decisions from data, and can explain health and science topics simply and accurately. You'll bring 3+ years of paid social creative strategy for a DTC brand or performance agency, experience supporting $100K+ in monthly ad spend, and a portfolio of concepts with the results they produced. What we need is sharp analytical judgment, strong writing, and an AI-first way of working.
Key Performance Indicators
Grow the number of new ads that become winners each month.
Hit the target win rate for new ads without cutting testing volume.
Bring recent concepts to the target cost per acquisition in priority markets.
Keep every priority persona and funnel stage covered by live, distinct concepts.
Primary Responsibilities
Own the creative testing roadmap for paid media: which personas, angles, offers, formats and funnel stages to test, and in what order.
Develop and prioritize testable hypotheses about customer motivations, objections, messaging, and offers,
using creative experimentation to generate insights that improve acquisition performance over time. Winning here means you can say: here is what we learned from customers this month and this is how we can use that to acquire next month.
Translate the brand positioning and approved claims into angles, hooks and proof points that sell.
Mine reviews, support conversations, call transcripts, surveys, comments and perform competitive research for the customer language and objections that become new angles.
Keep a portfolio of genuinely distinct concepts live for every priority persona, not variations of one idea.
Plan sale, launch and seasonal creative with the Marketing Manager against the marketing calendar.
Give the Social Media Manager the angles for creator briefs, and decide which creator content goes into paid testing.
Coach external creators to enable them to make winning creative.
Collaborate with Growth and CRO teams to ensure creative messaging, customer promises, and proof points carry consistently from advertising through landing pages and the purchase experience.
Weekly Creative Cycle
Turn the weekly performance read into the creative requirement for the next cycle.
Write the weekly slate of creative directions and review every concept the creative team builds against them.
Make the greenlight-or-kill call on every concept,
and record the reason for every kill.
Write briefs the creative team can produce on the first pass: audience, angle, hook, script or layout, references, specs and due date.
Flag concepts that need more than one cycle to produce, so they are planned separately.
Approve finished assets against the brief and hand them to the eCommerce Specialist for launch.
Deliver each cycle's directions and briefs on schedule.
Performance Analysis
Lead the weekly review of which ads won and lost, by concept, persona and angle.
Record the likely reason each winner won or loser lost, and the next test that would confirm it.
Performance Analysis
Watch for creative fatigue and refresh winners as their performance starts to slip.
Map coverage across personas, products, funnel stages and markets, and fill the gaps that matter commercially.
Present a monthly creative read to the Director of Growth and the Marketing Manager: what worked, what didn't, what changes next.
Quality and Compliance
Check every ad before launch for hook, message, claims, captions, specs and naming.
Keep every ad within approved claims, and send new claims to Product for approval before production.
Keep briefs, ad names and test results current in the shared creative workflow, so every asset traces to its concept, persona and creator.
Work within the brand standards set by Marketing, and bring proposed exceptions to the Marketing Manager with evidence.
Other Duties Assist the team with additional work as assigned, demonstrating a can-do attitude.
Required Skills
Bring three or more years as a creative strategist, or in a similar r
