Senior Social Creative

Spekk was named one of the UK’s top 100 companies to work for in 2025 by the Culture 100 Awards, which recognises Britain’s most loved workplaces

TL;DR:

We’re looking for a Senior Social Creative who can take a concept and turn it into a full suite of beautiful paid social ads, working across design and video, for premium brands that people genuinely love. This is a full-time, fully remote position, reporting directly to our Creative Director who runs our Creative Studio, the fastest growing part of our business.

Who we are:

Spekk is a digital advertising agency for high consideration products. We help businesses with complex offerings increase their sales by combining the power of algorithms with human empathy, storytelling and style. Our paid media department handles the strategic and technical side of paid social and paid search advertising. Our creative studio develops the campaigns and social-first content that goes into the ads. The combination of strategic, technical and creative capabilities under one roof has proven highly valuable to clients, and we are now entering our 9th consecutive year of double-digit growth as an agency.

Setting the Scene:

Here’s the thing about paid social ads for premium brands: most of them are terrible. They either look like they were made by a performance marketing team that thinks ‘creative’ is a noun, or they look gorgeous but completely ignore how the platform actually works. We sit in the gap between those two worlds and our clients trust us to stay there.

We work exclusively in paid social ad creation. Not organic. Not general campaigns. Paid ads, built to perform inside Meta and TikTok’s delivery systems. But our clients are not your average e-commerce brands. We work with the likes of Marfa Stance, Humanrace, LYMA and Hunza G. Premium products with longer consideration periods, where people don’t just see an ad and click buy. They think about it. They come back. They need convincing. That means we build creative across the full funnel, from awareness through to conversion, and every stage requires a different creative approach.

Our studio is small, growing, and punching well above its weight. We need someone who can raise the bar even further.

What you would do in this role:

As a Senior Social Creative at Spekk, you are the person who turns a creative concept or campaign idea into a fully rolled-out suite of paid social ad assets. That means designing static ads, directing video content, and sometimes picking up the camera (read: iPhone) yourself when the moment calls for it.

Campaign Rollout: Take a concept or creative direction and build it out across multiple ad formats, aspect ratios (9:16, 4:5, 1:1), funnel stages, and platforms. A single idea might become 15 individual ad variations. You see that not as busywork but as a creative challenge.
Design: A good background and understanding of design. How to really design with type and titles. And importantly a good grasp of design programs, so you can roll out the designs. These brands live in the world of fashion, beauty and premium lifestyle, so the work needs to feel editorial, considered and elevated.
Video Direction: Lead an editor through the production of video ad content. You should be able to brief clearly, give precise feedback on pacing, grading and structure, and push the work to the right quality level without endless revision rounds. If you can edit yourself, even better, but the directing ability is what we need most.
Phone Content: Be comfortable shooting and editing content on your phone when the situation calls for it. This is not the primary output of the role, but there are moments (events, quick-turn assets, lo-fi test variations) where the ability to produce something polished on a phone is genuinely valuable.
Funnel-Stage Thinking: Understand that a top-of-funnel awareness ad for a cold audience is a fundamentally different creative problem than a retargeting ad for someone who has visited the product page three times. Adapt your creative approach accordingly, from format and length through to messaging hierarchy and visual tone.
Brand Guardianship: Protect the visual identity and tone of each client’s brand across every asset you produce. These are premium brands with carefully built aesthetics. The ads need to feel like a natural extension of the brand world, not a departure from it.
Creative Volume: Meta rewards creative variation and regular testing. You should be comfortable maintaining a healthy output of new concepts and iterations without letting quality slip. We do not do throwaway work, but we also do not spend three weeks on a single asset.

Who is this role for:

People with premium taste and performance brains. You understand that a beautifully art directed carousel and a high hook-rate are not mutually exclusive. You know how to make something look like it belongs in a magazine while also understanding why the first frame matters more than anything else.
Designers who also think in motion. Your foundation is in design (layout, type, colour, composition) but you have genuine fluency in video. You can direct an edit, you understand pacing and sound, and you know what works in a 15-second vertical format versus a 60-second consideration piece.
People with a curiosity about and a good understanding of AI tools that help creating content: Anything from video and image creation to voiceover tools. We’re not about making all AI content, but the tools can be a huge help in storytelling when in the right hands.
Innovative Storytellers: You don’t only know how to come up with interesting ideas, but you are creative with how to bring them to life, sometimes with limited material or resources.
People who understand paid social as a medium. You know what creative fatigue looks like. You understand that Meta tests multiple ads and picks winners. You know what a hook rate is. You don’t need to be a media buyer by any means, but you should speak the language well enough that you never produce work that ignores how the platform actually delivers it.
Self-starters who own the outcome. We’re a small team. You won’t have a 10-person department behind you. You’ll report to our Creative Director, and work closely with a small specialist team. That requires independence, good judgment and the confidence to make calls without waiting for permission.
People with a portfolio that proves it. We want to see paid social work for brands that care about how they look. Ideally in fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle or similar premium categories. Show us carousels, video ads, campaign rollouts. If your book is full of general brand campaigns but light on actual ad assets, this probably isn’t the right fit.

What you’ll get:

The stability of full-time work, with the freedom of being remote. Work remotely, travel when you want, show up to team trips in Barcelona or wherever we end up next. If you deliver quality work on deadline, we don’t care where you do it from.
Direct exposure and mentorship from our Creative Director. You’ll report to and work directly with the most senior creative person on our team, who is also a partner in the agency. He’ll teach you everything he knows, because if you win, everybody wins.
Creative ownership. Your work goes live within weeks, not months. You’ll see your ads in people’s feeds and you’ll know whether they worked. There’s no 12-layer approval process between you and the real world.
Clients that do interesting things. We don’t do creative work for big conglomerates. We work with smaller, founder-led businesses who have built aspirational brands and products that people actually want.

Timings & remuneration:

Start date: ASAP.
We’re flexible around employment forms depending on location. We can figure out what suits both sides best.
Remuneration: Based on experience and location, up to £60k.

Benefits & Perks:

Team trips to places like Barcelona, Nice and Mallorca (2-3 per year).
£500 one-off allocation for home office set-up.
Fully remote workforce with team members based in the UK, Sweden, Spain, Germany, France and Portugal.
Casa Spekk in Barcelona (our own ‘brand home’). Whenever you are in town you can take full advantage of this collaboration space.

Please apply if…

Your portfolio shows paid social ad work, not just general brand campaigns.
You’ve worked with premium or high-consideration products before and understand that the creative rules are different.
You can design a carousel that feels editorial and a video ad that hooks in the first second.
You’ve directed video editors and know how to give feedback that actually moves the work forward.
You’re comfortable working across Meta and TikTok ad formats.
You can work during UK office hours (we’re flexible, but for collaboration we need some overlap).
Your level of English is advanced.
UK/EU based.

Bonus points if…

You’d rather spend your money on seeing the world rather than buying more of what’s in it.
You speak more than one language.
You have opinions about typography that you’d defend at a dinner party.
You’ve ever shot and edited something on your phone that you were genuinely proud of.
You know the difference between content that looks premium and content that just looks expensive.
