Creative Strategist

Mother's Earth · Fully remote · Reports to the Head of Strategy · Leads a creative pod Role OverviewMother's Earth is a multiple 8-figure DTC brand running four stores across the Netherlands, Germany, France and the wider EU. We're fully remote, Meta is our core growth engine, and creative is our biggest lever.As Creative Strategist you lead a pod: you, a video editor and a designer. You own the brief, you lead the two people who bring it to life, and you own the performance of everything your pod puts into the account.You lead from the work. Each sprint the Head of Creative Strategy gives your pod an allocation: the products, angles and awareness stages to cover, and a concept target by format. Within that allocation, the creative call is yours. When a concept scales, that's your pod's win. When one fails, you explain why and what you're changing.The brief is where this job is won or lost. The standard is a brief someone outside the room can execute without three rounds of questions. What you'll ownYour pod's output.
