Job description

Creative Strategist (Full-Time, Remote)

MVR Digital is hiring a Creative Strategist to own the link between performance data and creative output for our luxury and premium DTC clients. This is not a brand-storytelling role. You'll read Meta and Google ad performance daily, form testable hypotheses about what's working and why, and write briefs precise enough that a designer or editor can execute without guessing.


About MVR Digital

MVR Digital is a performance marketing agency serving luxury and premium DTC and e-commerce brands, with roots in New York, Denver, and Canada. We were named one of Adweek's Fastest Growing Agencies. We operate fully remote and async-first, using Slack and ClickUp to run distributed teams across the US and Canada.


Our Values

  • Act Like an Owner
  • Clarity Over Complexity
  • Serve Clients' Best Interest
  • We Win Together, We Lose Together
  • Data-Informed, Human-Led


What you'll own

  • Performance-to-brief pipeline -Read Meta and Google ad performance data daily. Identify which hooks are fatiguing, which formats are holding attention, and which audiences are saturating. Translate those signals into structured creative briefs: segment, message, hook type, format, reference, and success metric.
  • Creative testing strategy - Build and prioritize a testing roadmap with media buyers. Form specific, falsifiable hypotheses rather than general concepts.
  • Brief management and execution oversight - Brief designers, video editors, copywriters, and UGC creators. Maintain a tagged creative asset library so winning concepts from past sprints can be found and iterated on, not rebuilt from scratch.
  • UGC scripting and trend iteration - Track UGC and short-form trends across TikTok and Instagram on a rolling basis and adapt winning formats to client brands and offers quickly, before they fatigue.This is a core function of the role, not a secondary skill. Candidates without recent, hands-on UGC scripting experience should not apply.
    • Iterate on existing UGC concepts based on performance data: tightening hooks, testing new openers, recutting pacing direction for editors.
    • Write UGC-style scripts that sound like real people talking, not ad copy. You should be able to nail hook, problem, proof, and CTA structure in a 15-30 second format.


What you need

  • 3+ years in creative strategy, performance marketing, or a closely related role (media buying, copywriting, or brand marketing with a strong performance bent).
  • Demonstrated experience writing structured creative briefs, not mood boards.
  • DTC or e-commerce experience strongly preferred.
  • Luxury or premium brand experience is a differentiator, not a requirement, but you should be able to speak to how creative instincts shift in a higher-consideration purchase environment.
  • Comfortable in a remote, fast-moving agency environment managing multiple client accounts and external creative partners simultaneously.
  • Strong written communication. You'll be working async with a distributed team, so clarity in writing carries real weight.
  • Hands-on UGC scriptwriting experience, ideally with a portfolio or examples of scripts that turned into produced ads.
  • Working fluency in Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads reporting. You should be comfortable reading hook-rate and hold-rate curves, not just total spend and ROAS.


Nice to have

  • Familiarity with AI-assisted creative research or tagging tools.
  • Basic working knowledge of Figma, Canva, or Adobe tools, enough to communicate visual direction, not to execute design work yourself.


Role details

Full-time, fully remote. Open to candidates across the US and Canada. Compensation is monthly, commensurate with experience.
Benefits: PTO, paid holidays and flexible Friday's
