Performance Creative Alchemist

2 weeks ago

London, UK, United Kingdom BrightShift Full time

This is a 4-day-a-week freelance role, with the idea of evolving into full-time employment within 4-8 weeks.


  • Do you see narrative in numbers and stories in stats?
  • Do you want your work to resonate with audiences and make a positive impact on the world?
  • Are you a media buyer who’s obsessed with creativity, or a creative obsessed with media buying - but can’t figure out how to combine the two?

Well, well, well… it looks like you could be our next Performance Creative Alchemist.


As the Performance Creative Alchemist, you’re not a cog in the machine; you are the machine. You understand what it takes to succeed in the attention economy and thrive in fast-paced environments. Your role is crucial in translating data and insight into tangible, impactful ad creative - from ideation and inception, right through to final delivery. You’ll collaborate with our diverse creative team and play a part in igniting a collective energy to produce content that resonates deeply, captures attention, and drives meaningful growth for businesses whose mission is to make the world a brighter place.


Your day-to-day will involve generating captivating ideas, overseeing projects to ensure timely and on-budget delivery, working with our creative team and clients’ performance teams to analyse content performance to inform future creations, and communicating with clients.


Your mission is to bridge the gap between analytics, creative ideation, and strategic execution.


But before getting into all of that, here’s why we exist:


We believe in three things:


Belief 1: Social media, and the algorithms that govern them, is a weapon. A weapon that’s attacking our collective attention. We believe that if you understand how to take advantage of the link that social media has on society, you can drive any outcome - good or bad.


Belief 2: In 2024 and beyond - the ultimate differentiator in a world dictated by algorithms, is creativity. The right kind of content has the power to become an unfair advantage - it’s the key to move, inspire and galvanise.


Belief 3: The most pressing environmental and societal challenges are business opportunities in disguise. We believe in the power of human collaboration and entrepreneurship to make the world a better place.


Bright/Shift is the coming together of these three beliefs.


We exist to take advantage of the link that social media and digital channels have on society, in a way that triggers a positive change in the world, by helping give the businesses who deserve to win an unfair advantage.


We’re not a performance agency (they’re too focused on the data)

We’re not a creative agency (they’re too focused on the art)

But we’re like a creative agency - built for 2025.


The role

We’ve created this role from the ground up, and it’s just as unique as its name…


If a creative strategist, account manager, and social video enthusiast has a naughty encounter - you’d be the offspring.


Sound interesting? Cool - here’s a little more of a deep dive:


Responsibilities


  • Work with the Junior Creative Alchemist to ensure a constant stream of relevant, engaging, and left-field creative insights that power the ideation and creation process.
