Proven track record of building campaigns that drive measurable growth
Deep understanding of modern marketing channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Google, etc.)
Strong creative instincts across hooks, messaging, storytelling, and offer positioning
Ability to lead creative systems end-to-end, from concept through execution
Experience working with editors, designers, UGC creators, and marketing teams
Ability to operate independently and deliver with minimal supervision
Strong communication skills with both creative and analytical stakeholders

Nice to Have

Experience scaling creative testing systems and creative pipelines
Strong copywriting and scripting ability for performance ads
Familiarity with creative analytics, iteration loops, and ROAS-driven creative decisions

Collaborating with founders, CMOs, and growth teams to align creative with business goals
Reviewing creative performance and optimizing based on real data
Leading creative production across UGC, motion, static, and hybrid formats
Establishing brand voice, positioning, and messaging consistency
Documenting creative systems and playbooks for long-term execution

Why CoTrain

CoTrain is building the future of expert marketing work — and the demand is already here.

Right now, founders, growth leaders, and brand operators are actively looking for top-tier Creative Strategists and Directors who can help them scale acquisition, unlock new angles, and build creative systems that actually perform.

The problem is not a lack of opportunity.

The problem is that the best creative talent is difficult to find, difficult to vet, and often buried inside noisy networks where quality and accountability are inconsistent.

CoTrain changes that.

We are creating a private network where proven creative experts are matched directly with companies that are ready to pay for real creative leadership — not generic content production.

Once accepted, you are not competing in an open marketplace.

You are joining a trusted ecosystem where companies come with immediate needs, ongoing campaigns, and long-term demand for creative operators who can drive growth.

CoTrain is built for:

Consistent work from serious companies
Premium compensation aligned with creative impact
Direct access to decision-makers
Long-term opportunity, not one-off gigs

If you are an experienced Creative Director or Strategist looking for better clients, better pay, and work that actually matters — CoTrain is where that future is being built.
