Job Description

Salary:

Acceler8 Labs is where growth gets personal.

Were a performance marketing company founded by two former Facebookers who decided to build something better after seeing the gap between traditional agencies and the real needs of modern brands.

We believe scale isnt about bigger budgets but smarter decisions. Our team has helped brands across the globe generate over $1 billion in revenue by combining sharp strategy, bold creativity, and hands-on execution.

Were designed for the digital era, where everything evolves at the speed of light. Our work evolves alongside it, adapting to the industries, platforms, and audiences we help grow.

We partner with some of the worlds fastest-growing brands, from disruptive startups to global household names, to turn marketing spend into measurable business growth.

About the Role

Were looking for a full-time Creative Strategist who can bridge the gap between creative delivery and performance-driven strategy.

This isnt a pure design role, and its not a purely strategic one either. Youll sit in the middle, owning the process from idea through to delivery.

Youll lead creative strategy across a portfolio of ecommerce clients, digging into competitor landscapes, identifying whats working, and translating those insights into clear, actionable briefs for paid social and paid search campaigns, spanning static and video formats. At the same time, youll stay close to the work by managing timelines, guiding creative direction, and maintaining a high bar for what gets produced.

AI will be a core part of how you work. Youll use it to move faster, explore more ideas, and sharpen your thinking, from early research and concept development through to refining briefs and iterating on creative. This role is about knowing when to zoom out and think strategically, and when to get into the details to make sure the work lands.

The brands youll support are growing ecommerce and DTC businesses that rely on strong creative to drive performance across paid channels. Youll partner with our paid media team to keep creative and channel strategy aligned, using performance data as a feedback loop to continuously refine what we put into the market.

Your success will be measured by the impact your creative has on performance, and your ability to move ideas from early concept through to final output with speed and clarity.

As a Creative Strategist, you will:

Lead creative strategy across a portfolio of ecommerce clients, developing concepts that are grounded in performance, not just aesthetics
Translate insights from competitor research, platform trends, and performance data into clear, actionable briefs for paid social and paid search campaigns
Own the creative process end to end, from initial idea through to final delivery, keeping projects on track and moving forward
Project manage creative output across internal and external resources, ensuring timelines are met, and quality remains high
Guide creative direction across formats, including static and video, providing feedback that improves performance, not just polish
Partner closely with paid media specialists to align creative with campaign structure, targeting, and optimization strategy
Analyze creative performance across accounts, identifying patterns, extracting insights, and applying learnings to future concepts
Continuously iterate on creative based on results, building a feedback loop that improves output over time
Contribute to building and refining creative workflows, making it easier to move from concept to launch efficiently
Collaborate with internal production resources, including our in-house creative team, while leveraging tools like Motion, Foreplay, and other creative libraries to support development, iteration, and delivery
Stay current on platform trends, creative formats, and whats working across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging channels

Youll thrive in this role if you:

Have 3+ years of experience in a creative, performance marketing, or digital agency environment, ideally working with ecommerce or DTC brands
Are comfortable operating across both strategy and delivery, able to think through creative direction while staying close to the work itself
Have a strong understanding of paid social and paid search, and how creative influences performance across the funnel
Know how to turn insights into action, whether thats shaping a new concept, refining a brief, or improving existing creative
Have experience working with multiple clients or workstreams at once, and can manage competing priorities without losing quality
Are confident project managing creative, keeping timelines moving and stakeholders aligned
Have a strong creative eye and can give clear, constructive feedback that improves performance, not just aesthetics
Are data-driven, able to interpret performance and use it to inform what comes next
Communicate clearly and confidently, whether youre writing a brief, presenting an idea, or aligning with internal teams
Are proactive and take ownership, you dont wait to be told what to do, you identify gaps and move things forward
Thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift, and are comfortable adapting without losing momentum
Live in Canada (were a remote-first team)
