Creative Strategist in Birmingham

We are looking for a Creative Strategist to sit at the high-traffic intersection of our Creative, Strategy, and Performance teams. At Kubix, we know that world-class performance marketing requires more than just high budgets. It requires thumb-stopping creative backed by cold, hard data. You aren’t just a designer, and you aren’t just an analyst. You are the architect who translates ROAS targets, CPA goals, and retention data into high-converting visual concepts. Reporting to the Strategy Director, you will be the secret weapon for our Account Managers and Paid Media teams, ensuring every pixel we produce serves a specific purpose in the marketing funnel.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Vision

• Trend Forecasting: Be the agency’s eyes and ears for e-commerce trends, keeping our clients ahead of the curve on TikTok, Meta, and beyond.
• Competitor Intelligence: Conduct deep-dive research into competitor landscapes to identify opportunities for our brands.
• Performance Briefing: Translate complex client objectives into razor-sharp creative briefs for social, email, and web.
• Creative Efficiency: Audit our output to reduce wasted resources, ensuring we focus on the formats and hooks that actually move the needle.

• Data Storytelling: Analyse ad format performance and present findings to clients, explaining why a specific creative won or lost.
• Full-Funnel Design: Craft assets tailored specifically for their placement, whether it’s a high-energy top of funnel TikTok or a bottom of funnel conversion-led email.
• Hands-on Creation: When duty calls, you’ll jump into the tools to execute design work, ensuring the final product matches the strategic intent.
• Workload Orchestration: Manage multiple creative work streams, balancing big picture strategy with the daily demands of a fast-paced agency.

About You

• eCommerce First: You understand the Shopify ecosystem and know what makes a digital shopper click Add to Cart.
• Funnel-Focused: You know the difference between awareness creative and conversion creative, and you can articulate those differences to clients.
• Tool Mastery: You are a power user of Figma and Motion, and you’re comfortable exploring new AI or video tools to speed up iteration.
• Proactive & Polished: You’re comfortable presenting your ideas in a boardroom (or a Zoom room) and can defend your creative choices with data.

Skills / Qualities

• Proven Agency Experience: You’ve worked in a performance-led environment where creative is measured by results.
• Creative Tech Stack: Deep proficiency in Figma and Motion (or similar video/animation software).
• Analytical Mindset: You are comfortable looking at Meta Ads Manager or GA4 to see which creative hooks are driving the best CAC.
• Briefing Expertise: You can write a brief so clear that a designer or copywriter knows exactly what is expected of them on the first pass.

Salary & Application

Salary expectations: We appreciate that showing a salary indication is helpful for you to know whether it works with your personal circumstances. We’re open to a wide variety of experiences and salary levels for this role, so we’d rather discuss your experience and skills than try to set a salary bracket. If you’re the best person for the role, we’ll offer a salary that works.
