CREATIVE ASSISTANT

 

What We Do

We are a performance-focused DTC agency. We help e-commerce brands scale through paid media (Meta, Google, Bing), email marketing (Klaviyo), website optimisation, and creative strategy. Our clients sell physical products.

The Role

We need a creative who can produce performance-driven design assets across our client portfolio. This is hands-on production work — not brand strategy or art direction. You will be briefed by George or the account lead, given clear direction, and expected to deliver polished assets quickly.

The goal: free up George and the team from design bottlenecks so we can move faster for clients.a

Core Responsibilities

  1. Ad Creative (Primary)
  • Design static ad creatives for Meta, Google Display, and retargeting campaigns
  • Create ad overlays and text treatments for UGC and product videos
  • Build variations and iterations of winning ads (new hooks, formats, angles)
  • Design product imagery and lifestyle mock-ups for ad use
  • Use AI tools (Midjourney, ChatGPT image gen, Canva AI) to produce and iterate creative concepts quickly
  1. Email Design
  • Design email templates and campaign emails in Canva
  • Build and style automated flow emails (welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase)
  • Create email graphics, banners, hero images, and product feature blocks
  • Work from content briefs to produce ready-to-send emails
  1. Website & Product Assets
  • Create website banners, collection imagery, and promotional graphics
  • Build pop-up designs for Klaviyo or Shopify
  • Produce social media assets when needed

What We Need From You

  • Speed: We move fast. Turnaround on most assets is 24–48 hours.
  • Canva-native: You live in Canva. You know templates, brand kits, and how to work efficiently in it.
  • Klaviyo competent: You can build and style emails directly in Klaviyo, not just design them.
  • E-commerce eye: You understand what makes someone click an ad or open an email. You design for conversion, not awards.
  • AI-savvy: You use AI image generation and design tools to move faster and explore ideas.
  • Self-managing: You pick up briefs from Monday.com, deliver on time, and flag problems early.
  • Multi-brand comfortable: You can switch between a recycled homeware brand, a premium bin company, and a DTC drinks brand in the same day without mixing up the tone.

How We Work

  • Briefs come through Monday.com with clear direction, reference examples, and deadlines.
  • Feedback is direct and fast — usually same-day via Monday.com comments or Loom.
  • We expect design files to be shared via Canva links (editable, not view-only).
  • Weekly check-in with George to align on priorities across clients.

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a brand strategist or creative director role — direction comes from George and the client leads.
  • Not a web developer role — we have separate dev resource for that.
