Experience with high-end premium brands is essential. The ideal candidate understands that creative excellence must translate into measurable growth.

Detailed Responsibilities

Creative Development, Production & Technical Execution: 

  • Adapt master campaign concepts into performance-led digital assets across Paid Social, Programmatic, and Paid Search, 
  • Design static imagery, carousels, and display banners in multiple sizes and formats adhering to platform specific best practices for Meta, Google, TikTok and Display & Video 360. 
  • Build HTML5 display banners (including animation where required) and create high-performing paid social assets. 
  • Implement click tags and standard tracking requirements for programmatic campaigns. 
  • Optimise file sizes and formats in line with platform specifications and performance standards.

  • Demonstrate an understanding of performance marketing metrics, including: CTR (Click-Through Rate), CPL (Cost per Lead), CPC (Cost per Click), and ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). 
  • Develop high-performing, B2C-optimised creative assets to drive audience growth and lead generation, while contributing to the overarching creative strategy of the business. 
  • Contribute actively to the creative testing strategy by:
  • Developing structured A/B test variations
  • Proactively suggesting new test hypotheses
  • Adding test ideas to the testing roadmap
  • Collaborating with digital teams to refine future creative based on results
  • Testing is a collaborative process, but the designer is expected to contribute to creative experimentation and strategic thinking - not just asset production.
