Brick.

Most "creative strategists" at agencies are really project managers. They pass client requests to an editor, chase revisions, and never see whether the ad made money.

That's not this seat.

Brick Social runs paid media and creative for e-commerce and DTC brands only: SHITI Coolers, Spotlight Oral Care, Atlas Headrest, Minnie Wellness, The Nokbox. One niche, total depth. Every account is a Shopify-economy brand, so the ads you brief on Monday show up as revenue (or don't) by Friday. You'll know which.

You won't be a lone creative fighting for attention, either. You sit inside a pod with a dedicated Meta buyer, a Google buyer, a video editor, and a graphic designer (static editor), all working off the same numbers. Your buyer reads fatigue signals daily and asks for replacements the same day. Your video editor and designer turn your briefs into finished video and static ads. Our pods ship roughly 136 new assets a month, about 7 fresh ads a day, and you decide what they are.

And you're paid like an owner, not a seat. Our pod profit share pays out 20% of pod profit above the margin floor, quarterly. When your creative wins, your paycheck grows. The math is shared openly, and it's the same math I use.

You'll see your scorecard on Day 1. Reviews here have zero surprises.

• Hit Rate (share of new ads that become winners): 20%+
• Revision Rate: under 10%
• On-Time Delivery: 95%+
• Error Rate: under 0.05%

You don't need to be perfect on day one. But you do need to be the kind of person who sees these numbers, gets excited, and immediately starts thinking about how to beat them.

• ✅ Agency-side, multi-account experience - you've run creative for 4-8 ecomm brands at once and know the rhythm; this is not a first-agency-job role
• ✅ Performance creative, not brand creative - you've briefed and shipped paid social ads for Meta (TikTok is a bonus) in the last 2 years, and you can name ads you made that scaled, with the spend and results behind them
• ✅ You read the data yourself - hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA, ROAS; you know the difference between an ad with a bad hook and an ad with a bad offer, and you don't wait for a buyer to tell you
• ✅ You write - direct-response scripts and hooks are your strongest tool; you can write a 10-second Meta ad that grabs attention from the first frame
• ✅ You direct creators - you've written UGC briefs and gotten usable footage back without three reshoots
• ✅ You can hold your own in the tools - basic editing and design (CapCut, Canva, Figma or Adobe) so you can mock up a concept or fix a frame yourself
• ✅ AI-first workflow - you already use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude or similar) every day for research, scripting and QA, and you're always pushing to get more out of them; you can show us how AI makes your work faster and better, not just more
• ✅ US time zone - you work US hours, anywhere from Pacific to Eastern, and your briefs land before the Mon/Wed/Fri launch cutoffs without fail

• ❌ You've never been accountable for how your ads performed, only for shipping them
• ❌ Your portfolio is brand, social or organic content with no paid results attached
• ❌ You need a buyer or account manager to tell you what to make next
• ❌ You've only ever worked on 1-2 in-house brands and have never carried an agency workload

• Have a swipe file of hundreds of ads and can tell us why each one works
• Have built your own AI prompts or workflows for research, scripts or creative QA, and keep improving them
• Watch a competitor's new ad and can guess its hook rate before you finish it
• Get genuinely annoyed when a winning ad runs for six weeks without a fresh version behind it
• Bonus: you've made creative for Shopify-economy DTC brands and know what a winning ad does to a store's conversion rate

💰 Compensation: Base $5,000-$7,500/month USD + quarterly pod profit share (based on experience and location)

🎯 Perks That Matter:

• 🌍 100% remote - always has been, always will be
• 🎬 A production team in your pod, plus an admin who handles UGC logistics - you'll never be stuck editing your own briefs or chasing creator invoices
• 🧠 Weekly group training hour w/ Founder + monthly 1:1
• 🤝 $5K referral bonus when you bring us an A-player

PS: A few years ago I was the guy doing everything: buying, briefing, writing scripts at midnight because a client's best ad had died that afternoon. I built Brick's pod system so creative never works like that here. You get a buyer who shares your numbers, an editor who builds from your briefs, an admin who keeps UGC moving, a launch process that actually runs, real targets you see on day one, and a share of the profit you create. If you're a strategist who wants to own creative results inside a system that supports you - I'd love to meet you.
