@TheMartinMezei Where do you usually land your jobs is it on x word of mouth or other places ?

@strikerecom Seem to have way more luck on insta than on x not sure where I’m going left

@rihntv Storytelling and making content relatable

Running my agency taught me that whether it’s a restaurant a gym or a skincare brand people connect with stories that feel familiar to them

Make someone feel understood and they’re much more likely to pay attention

[creative strategist @pr1vateceo]

Creating organic content for restaurants skincare brands and gyms taught me how to grab attention and keep people watching

That same skill is a huge advantage in creative strategy. If your ad doesn’t get attention nothing else matters

Anyone else transitioned from SMMA into creative strategy? How much did your organic experience help?

Today I’m working on my website as a creative strategist

My VSL is recorded and I’m still editing it myself but I want a proper place to show brands who I am and how I can help them

Still figuring it all out as I go

For those of you who have a website what’s one thing you wish you knew before building yours?

@MuhammadTa7408 Have done zero courses and learnt more teaching myself than anything so much free information out there courses are overrated unless they put you through to the right people to land a role

[creative strategist @pr1vateceo]

I’ve recorded my VSL and I’m editing it myself now

It’s taken longer than I thought but I’m learning as I go

I’ve also been reaching out to around 50 ecommerce brands a day on Instagram and getting about 3 replies

It’s not a lot but at least some conversations are starting

On X it’s been a different story I’ve been applying for creative strategist roles but haven’t had any replies yet

For anyone who’s landed clients or roles through X what worked for you

Should I be replying to more posts sending DMs or focusing on sharing my work and building my page first?

@TheMartinMezei Not gonna lie that was ruining my focus

[creative strategist @pr1vateceo]

Today I recorded my VSL and another video that I’m going to send to potential clients.

The VSL explains who I am, my background and how I can help brands with their creative strategy.

The second video is for when I send a brand a free ad I’ve made for them. Instead of just sending the ad, I can explain why I chose that angle, who it’s for and how they could test it.

For the last six months, I’ve also been working behind the scenes under someone who was testing around $100k a month in ad spend. I learned a lot and did some work I’m proud of.

But one thing I’d tell anyone starting out: don’t get so excited about doing the work that you forget to document it. That’s what I did.

I was focused on learning and helping, but I didn’t think enough about getting a testimonial or keeping examples I could use in my portfolio. Now I’m working on getting something I can show potential clients.

So don’t be an idiot like me and be too excited for some work where you can’t show the results that shit will hurt you more than it will do good

@jordanmenard Only reason why I started business I have people who have worked under me that make more than me now it’s amazing to see

@GabMalenowitch Lost my old account back to rebuilding this one

“Is it too late to become a Creative Strategist?”

Ive found myself confronted with that question a few times already

What do you think?

Personally, I believe that “too late” assumes the window closed itself

Thats not the case. Maybe the gold rush will pass.
Maybe another thing will be more hyped.

But what I know for sure is that world-class skills will always find a place.

Don’t worry about if your niche is dying.

Just learn copy, bro

@aaxuus Claude saves everyone who I messaged who I need to chase up and who I have sent ads too

[creative strategist @pr1vateceo]

DM’d 50 ecommerce brands today

Looked through their ad libraries, used Claude to help with my research and sent out cold DMs

Got 4 replies so far, not bad

Going to keep doing this every day, 7 days a week and see where it takes me

[creative strategist @pr1vateceo]

@niakjaw Being over creative can actually do more damage than good nowadays

[creative strategist @pr1vateceo]

@copywriter_adam Facebooks groups are underrated
