We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

About Our Clients

We are representing four ambitious, fast-growing brands across the agency and direct-to-consumer (DTC) landscape.

As these businesses continue to scale their marketing and paid media efforts, they are looking for creative talent who can bridge the gap between creative production, AI-powered content, and performance marketing.

Whether you're a video editor who knows how to turn raw footage into high-converting ads, an AI creative producer who can generate compelling UGC-style videos, or a creative strategist who can take an idea from concept to execution, we'd love to hear from you.

Depending on your expertise and the specific opportunity, your responsibilities may include:

• AI-Powered Video Production: Create engaging video ads using AI video generation tools, AI avatars, synthetic UGC, voiceovers, and other AI-assisted creative workflows.

• Creative Ideation & Strategy: Develop creative concepts, angles, hooks, scripts, storyboards, and ad variations based on audience insights, product positioning, and campaign objectives.
• End-to-End Creative Execution: Take creative projects from initial research and ideation through scripting, production, editing, iteration, and final delivery.
• UGC-Style Ad Creation: Produce authentic-feeling, creator-style content using AI-generated talent, product demonstrations, testimonials, and other direct-response creative formats.
• Performance Optimization: Collaborate with paid media and growth teams to understand ad performance, identify creative opportunities, and develop new iterations based on data and testing insights.
• Creative Testing & Iteration: Produce multiple variations of hooks, messaging, visuals, and formats to support structured creative testing and campaign optimization.
