This contractor will play a key role in producing video and static content that fuels Thrive Market’s acquisition engine across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Snap. This is a role for a true performance-minded creative: someone who can edit compelling videos, design scroll-stopping statics, and—ideally—write sharp ad copy that drives clicks and conversions.

This is a contract position.

    • Think like a strategist: Translate briefs into performance-driven creative, combining strategy, storytelling, and aesthetic execution
    • Edit influencer and UGC footage into polished, high-converting ads without losing authenticity

    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure creative aligns with brand voice, audience insights, and business goals
    • Contribute strategically: Suggest ideas for new formats, editing structures, and ad concepts based on platform trends and performance data

    • Write copy that converts: Develop on-screen text, headlines, and scripts that are optimized for platform, brand voice, and performance

    • Strategic and collaborative thinker who understands the relationship between visual design and copy—comfortable contributing to light copywriting and iterating on messaging
    • Proactive and flexible mindset—equally comfortable executing fast-turnaround deliverables and participating in higher-level creative ideation
    • A strong portfolio of direct-response social ads that showcase your ability to hook, convert, and perform—especially on TikTok and Meta

    • Highly organized and detail-oriented, capable of managing multiple projects and versions at once.
    • Exceptionally skilled at image curation, visual storytelling, typography, layout, form and color
