I’m looking for a role where I can own Meta performance creative strategy end-to-end—hook strategy, persona briefs, testing, and iteration—with cross-functional teams. I’m open to remote-first opportunities across US, UK, and UAE markets, especially for D2C/B2C.

Performance Creative Strategist turning audience insight into scalable Meta creative systems for D2C and B2C growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Performance Creative Strategist with 13+ years spanning brand, narrative, and creative direction—now focused exclusively on performance-led paid social for D2C and B2C brands. I bring the rigour of a creative director and the mindset of a performance marketer, translating audience insight into creative systems that scale across US and UK markets.
My specialty is hook development, persona-based brief writing, and creative testing frameworks for Meta. I lead end-to-end creative strategy—from audience research and emotional entry points to creator direction, scripts/voiceover, launch iterations, and performance analysis—so campaigns improve with every creative cycle.
Results I’m proud of include 5.03 ROAS against a 2.5 target (with 615 purchases at $10.38 CPA), 7.15% CTR against a 1.3% benchmark, and 54% hook rate against industry benchmarks. I also apply conversion-focused messaging frameworks (including loss-aversion creative strategy) and partner with performance teams to refine angles, hooks, and messaging using live signals.
