助理创意总监, 文案
Associate Creative Director, Copy
**职位描述**
Directive 是一家以收入为导向的营销咨询公司，致力于为 B2B SaaS、企业技术、工业和商业品牌服务。我们不是为了好看而设计，而是打造能在绩效渠道、复杂的专业服务定位以及从 CMO 到 CFO 的购买者面前经得起考验的视觉系统。
我们正在寻找一位高级创意总监，他将把关键时刻转化为创意领域、信息假设、活动概念、标题、行动号召和文案方向，供设计师执行。高级创意总监将带来高级别的创意判断力，应对快速推进、以数字为主、直接与业务成果挂钩的工作。这个人不会等待打磨完善的提案或执行单一的设计请求。他们将参与定义需求，发现更有力的创意角度，并将战略输入转化为清晰、有说服力且与众不同的资产。他们将在新业务和组合销售机会中代表创意部门，协助构建设想性和组合创意，并支持 Directive 向以活动形式呈现的案例研究转型，从而推动客户增长和新收入。
这是一个个人贡献者角色——没有直接下属——但工作将高度可见，标准也将很高。理想的候选人应以文案写作为主导，具有活动思维。他们应具备足够的高管气质，能够参与客户和管理层的讨论，同时保持足够亲力亲为，能够撰写文案、审核提案、开发信息领域并塑造创意方向，而无需一个完整的创意团队支持。他们应理解绩效创意是一个假设、测试、学习和可扩展成功方案的系统，而不仅仅是品牌执行或资产质量。
成功意味着帮助 Directive 将基于交付的请求转变为以业务目标、买家洞察、测试变量和成功指标为基础的活动提案。高级创意总监应在工作进入生产阶段之前提升创意思考的质量，改善 Directive 与技术和企业买家的沟通方式，并为可扩展的绩效创意实践打下基础。

**THE ROLE**
Directive is a revenue-first marketing consultancy built to serve B2B SaaS, enterprise technology, industrial, and commerce brands. We don't make things look good for its own sake. We build visual systems that hold up under the pressure of performance channels, complex professional services positioning, and a buying audience that starts with a CMO and ends with a CFO.
We are looking for an Associate Creative Director who will translate Moments that Matter into creative territories, messaging hypotheses, campaign concepts, headlines, CTAs, and copy direction that designers can execute against. The Associate Creative Director will bring senior-level creative judgment to work that is fast-moving, digital-first, and tied directly to business outcomes. This person will not simply wait for polished briefs or execute one-off design requests. They will help shape the ask, identify stronger creative angles, and translate strategic inputs into assets that feel clear, compelling, and differentiated. They will represent creative in strategic new-business and portfolio-sales opportunities, help build speculative and portfolio creative, and support Directive’s move toward campaign-style case studies that can drive account growth and new revenue.
This is an individual contributor role — no direct reports — but the work will be high-visibility and the standard will be high. The ideal candidate is copywriting-led and campaign-minded. They should have enough executive presence to participate in client and leadership conversations, but remain hands-on enough to write copy, review briefs, develop messaging territories, and shape creative direction without needing a fully staffed creative team around them. They should understand performance creative as a system of hypotheses, tests, learnings, and scalable winners—not just brand execution or asset quality.
Success means helping Directive replace deliverable-based requests with campaign briefs grounded in business objectives, buyer insight, test variables, and success metrics. The ACD should raise the quality of creative thinking before work reaches production, improve how Directive communicates to technical and enterprise buyers, and create the foundation for a scalable performance creative practice.
**WILL OWN**
**Campaign Strategy**
The ACD owns the idea, message, and creative direction before production begins — and helps prove that better campaign thinking can create better performance, stronger pitches, and more creative revenue.
- Support new-business and portfolio-sales opportunities with speculative creative, campaign narratives, and stronger creative presence in strategic pitches.
- Create the foundation for Directive’s strategic creative approach.
- Primary responsibility is creative direction, campaign concepting, messaging strategy, and performance copy direction.
- Turns campaign and creative briefs into territories, concepts, hooks, headlines, CTAs, landing-page narrative direction, and message sequencing.
- Partners with designers by giving them a strong concept and copy direction to execute against.
- Builds the early proof points, examples, and campaign-style case studies needed to support future creative revenue growth.
**WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE**
**30-day success signal:** Internal teams understand why this role exists, what it owns, and how creative requests should start shifting from asset asks to campaign briefs.
- Audited current creative requests, briefs, production workflows, pitch materials, and performance creative examples.
- Met with Creative Production, Paid Media, Growth, Sales, Account leadership, and executive stakeholders to understand opportunities.
- Defined what a “good” campaign brief needs to include before work enters production.
- Created a first draft of the campaign creative brief template tied to Moments that Matter / Stratos.
- Identified 2–3 priority use cases where the new model can prove value quickly, such as strategic account pitches, paid social campaigns, ABM campaigns, or portfolio-sales opportunities.
- Produced at least one example of a stronger campaign territory or messaging direction from an existing work.
**90-day success signal:** Directive can point to live examples where creative strategy made the work sharper before production began, and stakeholders feel the new process is improving clarity, quality, and pitch readiness.
- Run several real briefs through a campaign-level creative process: insight, hypothesis, concept, copy direction, production handoff, launch, and learning.
- Developed creative territories, messaging angles, campaign copy, and testing recommendations for priority initiatives.
- Supported at least one new-business, strategic account, or portfolio-sales opportunity with speculative or campaign-style creative.
- Built a working partnership model with production designers so designers are executing against clearer concepts and copy direction.
- Created early examples of campaign-style case studies or internal proof points.
- Established a lightweight creative review rhythm focused on concept quality, message clarity, testability, and business relevance.
- Begun defining the message/proof library and taxonomy needed for learning to compound across campaigns.
- You have an established creative testing rhythm: hypothesis → variant → data → decision, repeatable without manual oversight.
**QUALIFICATIONS**
**Experience & Portfolio**
**Creative Expertise**
- 4–6 years of professional creative experience, with a meaningful portion in an agency, professional services, or B2B marketing environment
- A portfolio that shows range across brand work and performance creative — we need to see both a visual system you built and an ad campaign you designed that drove measurable results
- Experience developing campaigns from concept through execution.
- Ability to maintain and evolve brand standards across multiple channels.
**Strategic and Business Skills**
- Understanding of creative strategy and storytelling.
- Ability to translate ICP, positioning, personas, JTBD insights, proof points, objections, and funnel-stage context into creative hypotheses and campaign concepts.
- Executive presence and confidence presenting creative strategy in new-business, portfolio-sales, client-facing, or leadership settings.
- Strong understanding of performance creative, testing methodology, message iteration, pipeline influence, and revenue-oriented creative measurement.
- Ability to partner effectively with production designers, paid media strategists, Account Directors, Growth, and Sales without needing to personally execute design production.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping shape the brief when the request is not fully formed.
**Technical and Industry Knowledge**
- Digital marketing and social media
- UX/UI design
- Video and motion graphics
- Content strategy
- Creative software such as Adobe Creative Cloud
- AI-assisted creative tools and emerging technologies
**Tools — Required**
