Apex Growth is hiring a junior Creative Strategist to translate performance insights into platform-native, high-converting ad concepts across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond. This role exists to drive structured creative ideation, testing velocity, and storytelling precision at the intersection of growth marketing and creative strategy.

You’ll operate at the core of our creative engine—bridging media performance and narrative craft. This role reports to the SVP of Growth & Creative and plays a pivotal part in scaling creative systems, refreshing ad pipelines, and accelerating learning loops across paid media accounts.

What You Will Own

Creative Briefs & Campaign Concepting

  • Write testable creative briefs aligned to client goals, audiences, and channel best practices

  • Develop hook frameworks, messaging hierarchies, and visual/storytelling direction

  • Translate performance data and product insights into scalable campaign concepts

Post-Launch Creative Analysis

  • Monitor creative performance metrics (CTR, thumbstop rate, CAC, etc.) across platforms

  • Identify top-performing themes, fatigue signals, and cross-client learnings

  • Partner with media and analytics teams to package insights into debrief decks and scorecards

Testing Cadence & Infrastructure

  • Manage creative workflows for briefs, testing rounds, and asset libraries

  • Ensure creative refresh velocity is maintained across pods and client verticals

  • Coordinate with media leads and project managers to ensure timeline alignment

  • Serve as a collaborative hub across Growth, Creative, and Analytics

Process Building & Creative Ops Support

  • Evolve briefing templates, creative scorecards, and async feedback systems

  • Contribute to internal creative libraries and training resources

  • Help build systems that support speed, experimentation, and repeatable success

Who This Role Is Not For.

This likely isn’t a fit if:

  • You prefer creative environments without structure or feedback loops

  • You rely on visual or copy execution to drive strategy instead of upstream insight and framing

  • You struggle to manage async workflows or own timelines

  • You’ve never worked in a performance marketing, media, or data-informed creative setting

Maggie Valiunas (SVP, Growth & Creative Strategy): Direct manager and strategic partner

Kathy (Creative Strategy Lead): Day-to-day creative collaborator

David Mausolf (Co-Founder): Strategic alignment and business context
