Creative · Full-time · Remote: Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia
Creative Director (Performance Ads)
Based in: the Philippines, Indonesia or Malaysia. Working hours overlap with Singapore (GMT+8).
You'll lead and make the creative behind our clients' paid ads on Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube, and the landing pages they send traffic to. You'll design the graphics yourself, and set up the way we test ad angles and hooks, so each month's new ads are chosen by what the last month's taught us. Your end goal: a learning document, built with our Performance Ads team, of the angles and hooks that work for each client and industry. Our clients are hotels, healthcare, retail, property and B2B brands across Singapore and Southeast Asia.
What you'll do
- Produce the ads yourself: static graphics, carousels and short videos for every platform
- Set each client's creative direction: concepts, angles, hooks and formats
- Introduce a framework for testing ad angles and hooks: what we test, how we name and track it, and when a winner is a winner
- Read the results in the ad accounts with the Performance Ads team, and decide what to make next
- Report each month on the angles and hooks that worked and the ones that didn't
- Turn those findings into a learning document with the Performance Ads team, by client and industry, that the whole agency uses
- Brief and review designers, video editors and UGC creators when the work needs more hands
- Use AI image, video and copy tools where they save time without lowering the bar
What we're looking for
- 3+ years making performance ads: paid social and video, for an agency or in-house
- You design the graphics yourself, and have a portfolio of ads with the results each was judged on
- Experience running creative tests, or a clear method for doing so
- You write as well as you design: headlines, hooks and scripts
- Native fluency in short-form video for Meta Reels and TikTok
- You can read Meta Ads Manager and talk about hook rate, click-through rate and cost per result
- Clear written English; Bahasa, Tagalog or Chinese is a plus
