Creative Strategist – Paid Social & Display Ads in Beverly Hills, California at Innovative Metrics

You’ll work closely with a senior media buyer to develop and produce winning ads end-to-end — from idea to execution — that drive qualified leads at scale.

• Rapidly iterate on creatives based on performance data
• Build a high-volume creative testing pipeline
• Stay current with trends across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and native platforms

• Ability to create:
  • Static ads

  • Short-form video ads
  • Landing page/mock creative concepts

• Copywriting experience in direct response

• You consistently produce ads that convert — not just look good
• You generate new creative concepts weekly
• Your creatives directly contribute to lower CPL and higher volume
• You can both ideate and execute without bottlenecks

  • Creative performance
