Creative Strategist

Creative Strategist, Paceline Studios

About us

Paceline Studios is a performance creative studio in Los Angeles. We make 16:9 video ads for YouTube and CTV, working with influencers and UGC creators for fast-growing startups. We're a small team, and every person here works directly on client campaigns.

The role

We're hiring a Creative Strategist to develop ad concepts and write scripts for our startup clients. You'll review what's working in current campaigns, pitch new testing ideas, and write scripts tuned to each creator's voice.

This is a hands-on role. You'll learn performance marketing by doing it: watching how your concepts perform, seeing what the data says, and adjusting.

Day to day

• Review creative performance data and find opportunities for new concepts
• Develop ad ideas for 16:9 placements across digital channels
• Research and identify creators for startup campaigns
• Write scripts that sound like the creator, not like an ad

What we're looking for

Skills and cultural fluency matter more to us than years of experience. Recent grads and students finishing their degree are welcome. You should have:

• Deep familiarity with social media and digital advertising trends
• A feel for how creators talk, and the ability to write in their voice
• Interest in learning performance marketing, not just creative

Strong preference: you've built your own social following and know what it takes to grow an audience from zero.

Our process

Three steps: an intro call, a short take-home creative prompt so we can see your scripting, and a final conversation with the team. We'll tell you where you stand at each step.

All majors and backgrounds welcome. If you understand the creator economy, apply.

Paceline Studios is an equal-opportunity employer. We're based in Los Angeles and support flexible work.
