Creative Strategist | Tales.com | South Africa

First, before you read on. Does this describe you?

Direct response is my love language
I’ve been known to write VSLs for fun
Breakthrough Advertising is my Bible
I spend my free time reading newsletters and twitter threads, listening to podcasts, and scrolling Foreplay for new ad ideas
I like to make an impact, and be part of a team
I am very curious and always learning
I like to be part of a good team but have the ability to own my domain and work autonomously

If this resonates with you, you might have just found your dream job.

But first… who are we?

Tales is a rapidly growing ecommerce brand hell bent on helping people deepen their relationships through stories. We pride ourselves on selling products that actually help people. And selling a lot of them.

We value speed, accountability, adaptability, and scrappiness among our team members. If we don’t know how to do something, we figure it out and get it done.

We are seeking a creative mastermind. A person who can dive deep into the customer research and emerge with fresh angles and ad concepts that convert.

Someone who understands the power of human psychology and isn’t afraid to use it (for good, of course).
