Junior Creative Strategist in Manchester

Hambi Media Ltd is one of the UK's fastest-growing performance creative agencies for e-commerce brands, powered by a team of 40+ A-Players. With over £100M in ad spend behind our creatives on Meta and TikTok, we've helped scale brands like Heights, 47 Skin, Surreal, Nutrition Geeks, and Mindful Chef. We're one of the few D2C creative agencies with design, production, strategy, and UGC all under one roof. In 2025, we were named the #1 independent Meta agency and were recently nominated for Meta's Creative Diversity Award.

The Role: We're looking for a Junior Creative Strategist to support our creative strategy team across a range of fast-growing D2C brands. Rather than owning accounts end-to-end, you'll float across clients - helping with ideation, scripting, briefing and performance analysis - while learning how world-class performance creative is built, tested and scaled. This is a perfect role for someone early in their creative strategy journey who wants to develop deep platform knowledge, sharpen their understanding of what makes ads convert, and grow quickly in a high-performance agency environment.

You’ll work closely with senior strategists, designers, producers, media buyers and account managers to help deliver consistently excellent creative output across Meta and TikTok.

• Contribute to structured creative testing roadmaps across accounts.
• Collaborate with account managers to ensure creative output is aligned and delivered smoothly.
• Help monitor trends, hooks, formats and platform updates.
• Support presentation prep for client reporting and creative recommendations.
• Manage multiple supporting tasks across clients with clarity and attention to detail.

• You confidently support strategy delivery across several client accounts.
• Your ideas and briefs contribute to improved creative performance.
• Senior strategists and media teams rely on your organisation and input.
• You build a strong understanding of creative testing principles.

You’ll Thrive Here If You Have:

• 1-2+ years experience in paid social, creative strategy, content or performance marketing (agency experience bonus).
• A genuine interest in Meta/TikTok ads and what drives conversions.
• Strong analytical instincts - you enjoy understanding why creative works.
• Clear written communication and an eye for detail.
• A proactive mindset and eagerness to learn from a high-performing team.
• An interest in buyer psychology, storytelling and performance-driven content.
• The ability to juggle multiple tasks across clients and stay organised.

Who You Are (Mindset & Attitude):

• You take pride in doing the basics exceptionally well.
• You’re solutions-focused and enjoy collaborating with others.
• You care about performance, not just aesthetics.
