Creative Strategist - 1500+ monthly ads created - 100m+ USD generated

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Top-Rated on Upwork | 5-Star on Trustpilot, Google, Clutch & Fiverr (proof on request) Creative Strategy · UGC Ads · Direct Response Scripting · Ad Copywriting · Concept Creation · Video Editing · Static Ads at Scale · AI Ads & AI Animation · Meta Ads · TikTok Ads I've generated $100M+ in revenue for eCommerce brands, and my creative currently powers $20M+ in yearly ad spend (September 2026), including accounts running $20K to $70K per day. I build the concepts, scripts and creatives that open new angles and unlock new audiences. 📂 👇🏼 Check below my full creative portfolio, 300+ creatives and 129 pages of case studies. 🔹 WHAT I DO • Concept creation: every ad starts from a defined angle, persona, pain point and USP • Direct response scripting and ad copywriting for video, static and landing pages • UGC management end to end: creator sourcing, briefing, shipping, filming, revisions. Official partner of the largest UGC creator database in the world, 1,200+ creators filmed • Production and filming: UGC, founder and talent, product, studio and lifestyle • Video editing: hooks, pacing, subtitles, versioning, winning ad iterations • Static ads at scale: ad design, carousels, comparison, review and problem/solution formats • AI ads and AI animation ads: AI video, animated and cartoon concepts, AI UGC • 1,000 to 1,500+ new ad creatives shipped every month • Official Meta Business Partner, TikTok Business Partner and Google Partner 🌍 MARKETS & LANGUAGES I produce creative for the USA, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Dubai/UAE, in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Arabic, with native creators and native scripting for each market. 🔹 MY PROCESS 1. RESEARCH: customer reviews, forums, competitor ad libraries, Atria and Foreplay data. Output: personas, pain points, buying triggers, awareness stages, USPs. 2. CONCEPTS: each concept is one psychological angle tied to a persona, a pain point and a USP, then mapped to a style, theme and production type. You approve before anything is filmed. 3. SCRIPTING: direct response scripts and ad copy written per concept, with hook variations. 4. PRODUCTION: creators sourced and shortlisted, filming managed, footage edited into launch ready videos, statics, carousels and AI animation. 5. ITERATION: thumbstop, hold rate, first frame retention, CPA and ROAS decide what gets iterated and what gets cut. A winning creative validates its concept, which validates its angle. That is how new angles, audiences and personas open up, and how accounts move from $500/day to $5K/day to $20K+/day. 🔹 RESULTS - Blackout Coffee: scaled from $100K to $1.4M revenue per month. $40M+ generated in total, $18M in 2025 alone - Ergonomist: £800K (2024) to £4.2M (2025), now tracking toward £12M to £15M, driven entirely by creative strategy - FIXD (car diagnostic device): $1M to $1.5M per month in ad spend - Gratsi: $500K+/month, driven with UGC filming and ad production - Smile veneers brand: CPA cut from $134 to $35, now spending $300K to $600K/month - Furniture brand: $20K to $50K/day in ad spend - QGS: consistent 16x to 18x ROAS - French motor accessories: 80% winning creative hit rate on $30K/month, products sold out - Mechanic Superstore: 6x to 8x ROAS on $35K/month - Snackverse: TikTok CPA halved, from $20 to $10 - Backgammon Galaxy: inventory sells out every quarter - Strob Studio: +40% Shopify sales from creative scripting and copywriting alone 🔹 WHY BRANDS STAY ✔ A concept system connecting creative to angle to persona to pain point to USP, so you know exactly why an ad won ✔ A full team behind me: creative strategists, UGC managers, scriptwriters, designers, video editors ✔ You approve, I handle the rest. No hiring, no freelancer vetting, no tool stack. Weekly reporting, bi-weekly calls 🔹 THIS IS A FIT IF ✅ You're spending $10K+/month on ads (my strongest work sits on $20K/day+ accounts) ✅ You have a product people already love and want to scale, not fix ✅ You treat creative as the main growth lever, not an afterthought If your creatives have stopped producing new winners and your spend has hit a ceiling, that is exactly what I fix. Message me and let's look at your account.
