Talo is hiring on behalf of a client
A confidential search run by Talo for one of its clients. The full brief is shared with shortlisted candidates.
Give a single gross monthly figure in USD for a full-time engagement. The base budget for this role is USD $4,000–$8,000 per month plus performance bonuses.
If you have a notice period, give the first date you could realistically start.
This role is remote, so we need to know your working location and contract basis (for example: "Working from Portugal, Brazilian national, able to invoice as a contractor").
You will work daily with media buyers and editors, so live overlap matters.
Count only time owning concepts, scripts and testing for paid acquisition — not general brand, social media management or video editing.
Choose the closest single match.
One line per role, most recent first. Example: "Brand X (DTC skincare, ~$40M/yr) — Senior Creative Strategist, Mar 2023–present". Name the brands where possible; if one is under NDA, describe the category and size.
Select all where you personally led the creative strategy.
Select all that apply. Adjacent experience (supplements, beauty, wellness, self-development, info products) is relevant.
Answer yes only if you originated or led the concept yourself, rather than supporting someone else's.
Choose the highest monthly spend level on the account where your concepts and scripts were running.
Select only the areas you were accountable for, not those you assisted with.
A link to a one-pager, slide, or screenshots (Google Drive, Notion, Dropbox) showing spend, ROAS/CPA, hit rate or before-and-after performance. Redact anything confidential, but keep the numbers legible. Ensure the link is publicly viewable.
Link to 2–5 live or past video ads you scripted or concepted (ad library, Drive folder, or reel). Tell us in the link description which parts were yours.
Around 200–300 words. Cover the customer insight behind it, the angle and hook, what the data told you, how you iterated it, and how you turned it into a repeatable framework. Write it yourself — pasted AI text is easy to spot and counts against you.
Select all you have used hands-on in the last 12 months.
Be specific: which tools, for which steps (research, insight mining, scripting, iteration), and how you keep the output original and on-brand. 150 words is plenty.
Include direct reports and people you briefed and held to standards without formal authority.
Give the volume you can sustain at quality, with editors supporting you.
A single paragraph or a short numbered plan. Tell us what data you would look at first, what you would test and in what order, how you would decide between iterating and building a new angle, what research you would run for the launch, and how you would handle the disagreement with the media buyer.
Shortlisted candidates complete a Creative Strategy Assessment. It is paid and briefed clearly.
Record on your phone or laptop, unedited and unscripted. Cover: who you are, the direct-response brand and result you are proudest of, and one creative angle you would test for a pheromone fragrance brand expanding into confidence and self-development. Upload to Loom, YouTube (unlisted) or Drive and check the link is viewable without a login request.
Optional. For example, interview scheduling constraints, accessibility adjustments for the test task, or context about a gap in your history. This will not count against you.
