Full-Time · In Person · Beverly Hills, CA

About AdBlend

AdBlend is a performance creative agency producing high-volume Meta and TikTok advertising for leading DTC brands. We create new ads every week across formats including UGC, street interviews, podcast-style ads, product demonstrations, direct-response videos and static creative.

We’re looking for a Performance Creative Strategist & QA Lead to help shape our creative direction and ensure every ad we deliver is polished, compelling and built with performance in mind.

About the Role

You’ll work directly with our strategy, production and editing teams in our Beverly Hills office, helping develop ad concepts, strengthen scripts and guide creative through final delivery.

You’ll also be the final set of eyes on ads produced by our editing team—reviewing everything from the strength of the hook and clarity of the message to pacing, captions and brand accuracy.

This role combines creative strategy with hands-on quality control. You should be comfortable explaining why an ad works, identifying what’s missing and giving the team clear direction to improve it.

Responsibilities

• Help develop ad concepts, hooks, messaging angles and creative briefs for DTC brands
• Review and refine scripts before production to strengthen the hook, value proposition and call to action
• Research competitors, customer pain points and successful paid-social creative to inform new ideas
• Collaborate with our in-office team on creative direction and production needs
• Review Meta and TikTok ads submitted by video editors, ensuring they follow the approved script and creative direction
• Evaluate pacing, storytelling, captions, music, graphics, audio and overall visual quality
• Confirm offers, product claims, pricing and calls to action match approved client information
• Ensure ads follow client brand guidelines and applicable platform requirements
• Give editors precise, actionable feedback that improves both execution and persuasiveness
• Approve final ads before client delivery
• Use available performance data and client feedback to recommend new tests and iterations
• Track recurring issues and help improve our creative review process
• Manage multiple brands and deadlines within a fast weekly production schedule

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in paid-social creative strategy, production or creative review
• Strong understanding of direct-response Meta and TikTok advertising
• Ability to develop compelling hooks, messaging angles and ad concepts
• Strong copywriting instincts and an eye for what makes an ad clear and persuasive
• Excellent visual judgment and attention to detail
• Ability to give concise, constructive feedback to writers, producers and editors
• Familiarity with video-editing terminology and workflows
• Ability to manage a high volume of creative without sacrificing quality
• Organized, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of your work
• Available to work full-time in person at our Beverly Hills office

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience at a performance creative or DTC advertising agency
• Experience interpreting creative performance metrics and turning findings into new tests
• Hands-on experience with Premiere Pro, CapCut or After Effects
• Experience with UGC and short-form video advertising
• Familiarity with tools such as ClickUp, Frame.io or Slack
• Understanding of Meta advertising policies

Schedule & Location

This is a full-time, in-person position based at AdBlend’s office in Beverly Hills, California. You’ll work alongside our creative and production teams throughout the week.

Compensation

Full-time salaried position. Compensation will be discussed during the interview process based on experience and qualifications.
