Creative Social Ads Designer

We Sell Stories is a Dutch online marketing agency specializing in two key niches: moms and sustainability. We excel in social advertising, social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, and much more. Founded by Loes, We Sell Stories operates with a team of talented freelancers (most of us women), and we are now looking to expand our team.

About the Role
We are seeking a skilled and creative individual to design outstanding social media ads for both our clients and our own campaigns. You will play a key role in brainstorming, creating, and delivering ad visuals that are not only highly effective but also visually stylish—reflecting the high-quality brands we work with.

This is a freelance role starting with project-based work, with the opportunity to grow as our agency continues to expand.

What You'll Do
- Collaborate on strategy: Review a provided folder with videos, photos, text, logos, and branding guidelines. Conduct your own research on the product/brand and suggest effective ad themes or concepts.
- Create engaging ads: Design a variety of ad formats, including video ads, single images, and carousels, in multiple dimensions for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
- Work in Canva or your preferred tool: We prefer using Canva (and provide access to our workspace), but if you prefer tools like Photoshop, that’s fine too.
- Work with languages: Ads will primarily be created in Dutch and German. While knowledge of these languages is a plus, it is not mandatory. Native speakers will review the final ads to ensure quality.

What We’re Looking For
- Experience: At least 2 years of experience designing social media ads with proven results.
- Style-savvy: You know what works and what doesn’t in the world of social ads and can create visuals that are both effective and elegant. Our goal is to avoid generic, cheap "dropshipping-style" ads.
- Proactive & creative: You bring fresh ideas to the table, backed by research and an understanding of branding and target audiences.
- Portfolio: A collection of your relevant work examples showcasing successful ad designs.
- Language skills: Please share which languages you speak or are fluent in. Knowledge of Dutch and/or German is a bonus but not required.
- University degree

Who You Are
We’d love to get to know you! Please share some information about yourself:
- Your name, location, hobbies, and anything else that helps us get to know you better.
- Details about your family situation or daily life (optional but appreciated!).

What You’ll Need to Apply
- A portfolio or examples of your previous ad work.
- A brief overview of your work experience and how you’ve helped brands succeed. Please also let us know if you have other marketing skills that could be useful for our business.
- A short introduction about yourself, your background, your interests, and the languages you speak.

PLEASE NOTE: WE ONLY WORK WITH THE BEST, AND WILL ONLY RESPOND TO APPLICANTS THAT SEND US A COMPLETE APPLICATION. YOU MAY ALSO SEND A VIDEO APPLICATION, INTRODUCING YOURSELF TO LOES@WESELLSTORIES.NL

Compensation
- The initial hourly rate is $7 - $10 USD based on your work experience, with the opportunity to increase this rate as we build a successful working relationship.
- As We Sell Stories continues to grow, this role can expand into more consistent, ongoing projects.

Why Work With Us?
- Flexible working hours and remote work.
- A supportive team that values collaboration and creativity.
- Opportunities to work with well-known brands and on exciting projects.

We Sell Stories is looking forward to collaborating with you to create ads that drive results while looking amazing! Ready to apply? We can’t wait to see your creativity shine.
