  • Portfolio showcasing both static and motion social ad creative (TikTok, Facebook, IG, YouTube, etc.)

  • Comfortable creating from scratch using copy, brief prompts, or performance data

  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)

  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and capable of working quickly without sacrificing quality

Bonus Points

  • Experience with MOGRTs, meme-inspired visuals, or short-form UGC-style design

  • Familiarity with AI tools and LLMs for ideation and refinement

  • Prior work in direct response or ecommerce performance marketing

Tech Requirements

  • OS : Windows 11 (64-bit) or macOS 13+

  • CPU : Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) or Intel 6th Gen+

  • RAM : 16GB+

  • GPU : Apple M-series chips or NVIDIA RTX 3060+

  • Storage : 50GB free

  • Monitor : 1920 x 1080 minimum

  • Software : Access to Adobe Creative Cloud (2025 versions)

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly freelance rates (paid monthly)

  • Remote, project-based workflow with ongoing creative opportunities

  • Transparent booking requests — you choose which jobs to accept

  • Performance feedback to help you continuously improve your work

  • A supportive team of producers, editors, and marketers working at the cutting edge of performance creative
