Creative Strategist

StackAdapt is a self-serve advertising platform that specializes in multi-channel solutions including native, display, video, connected TV, audio, in-game ads and digital out-of-home ads. We empower thousands of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance everyday. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform, it’s a hub of innovation, imagination and creativity.

Are you ready to be the creative powerhouse behind client success? We're looking for a versatile Creative Strategist to join our team and push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital advertising—this is not a marketing role but a client-facing creative strategy position focused on advertising performance.

As a Creative Strategist, you’ll be the bridge between clients, sales, and our Creative Studio, ensuring every ad creative is optimized for engagement and impact. You’ll collaborate closely with our Revenue team, providing data-driven creative insights that enhance brand storytelling and drive measurable campaign results. Whether advising clients on the latest ad trends, refining creative concepts, or overseeing the production process, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the success of digital ad campaigns.

StackAdapt is a Remote First company. We are open to candidates located anywhere in the Canada and are hiring for two Creative Strategists based in EST and PST time zones.

What you'll be doing:

• Providing creative direction, strategy, and data-backed recommendations specifically for client advertising campaigns, ensuring creative assets are optimized for engagement and performance.
• Acting as a subject-matter expert on creative best practices, advising clients and Sales teams on innovative ad formats, storytelling techniques, and emerging industry trends.
• Supporting Sales in pitching, growing, and retaining clients by demonstrating how creative strategy directly impacts advertising performance.
• Managing multiple creative projects from brief creation to asset delivery, ensuring deadlines, specs, and brand guidelines are met with precision.
• Collaborating with our team to develop compelling, high-performing ad creatives that surpass client expectations and drive measurable results.

What you’ll bring to the table:

• 1-2+ years of experience in digital advertising, creative strategy, or art direction (graphic design experience is a plus—please provide work samples if available).
• Hands-on experience with programmatic advertising channels.
• Proven ability to develop strong creative concepts that align with brand objectives and campaign goals.
• Client-facing communication skills, with experience presenting creative ideas and gathering feedback to refine deliverables.
• Experience in creating ad creatives for digital campaigns, including display, social media, video, email marketing, and paid advertising.
• Bonus points for advanced skills in graphic design, programmatic ad tech, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or fluency in French, Spanish, or German.
