Video Creative Director 🔥


This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on Senior Creative Director to lead our internal team of video creative producers, editors and copywriters to produce modern direct response video ads that convert on paid media for Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok. The ideal candidate can easily toggle between high-volume, lo-fi test-and-learn productions ala TubeScience, and low-volume, hi-fi hero productions ala Harmon Brothers. You’re a linear thinker who loves architecting a systematic A-B-C process, yet also has the non-linear creative spirit to toss in the K-Q-Z to keep videos spicey.

If you’re a T-shaped talent who can think of the big idea, write a crisp script with a hook that snags attention, then direct, produce and edit a video that inspires someone to purchase… and rinse and repeat this in a high-volume, test-and-learn environment, then you’re a perfect fit and we’d love to talk.

Hello, my name is Jeff Radich, Chief Creative Officer and President of Metabolic Living, and I need your help. We spend millions monthly on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and other digital channels. We’ve grown our business 300% in the last 3 years with a goal of hitting $100MM in top line this year. However, to continue our growth – and deliver on our goal of becoming a billion-dollar multi-channel brand by 2024 – we must take our creative to the next level. And that’s why we need you.

 

What are the Key Points?

  • Compensation: $175,000 - $225,000 + Bonus (negotiable for right person)
  • Location: 100% Remote (virtual team of 100+ with no corporate office)
  • Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision/Disability/Life + Robust 401k + 15 Days PTO
  • Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EASTERN (regardless of where you live)
  • Culture: Human-first with High-Performing, Happy & Humble People (no jerks)
  • Personality: Obsessed with Details so We can Simplify the Complex for Others

 

Who Are We?

Metabolic Living is a self-funded, profitable, rapidly growing multi-channel DTC health and wellness company with 100+ on our team and on pace to more than double in 2021. The overall trend towards health and wellness was already a wind in our sails, but COVID lit a match and set our growth on fire. So, this is your opportunity to help us make a meaningful impact, precisely when the world needs it.

What makes us different than every other brand in the crowded health and wellness space is our integrated ecosystem-based approach to making a difference. We produce and sell the entire suite of products someone needs to optimize their metabolism, including nutraceuticals, functional foods/beverages, customized exercise and nutrition programs and 1-on-1 and group coaching. Most companies provide 1-2 of these solutions, but we provide them all. This is not a future vision thing, it’s a now thing, the products are already there, we’re just scaling them out now.

And it’s all based on our proprietary Metabolic Optimization System (or Metabolic OS) that combines extensive practitioner wisdom and scientific research with machine learning and AI to deliver a truly customized consumer experience. That true customization combined with our true integration of all elements of our ecosystem delivers the true transformation that all consumers want. Think of us like the Apple for your metabolism. It just works.

Rather than a rigid one-sized-fits-all approach like Paleo, Vegan, Keto, etc. we empower you with our flexible Metabolic OS framework that’s 100% customized to you. It allows you to get results fast and to sustain those results as your body, mind and daily life changes as you age. Without this flexible framework, those rigid approaches ultimately backfire, leaving you worse off.

 

What’s Our Past and Future?

We built everything organically in reverse, starting with our first nutrition program in 2012, then our first exercise program in 2014 and then launching our full ecosystem of products, including nutraceuticals, functional foods, subscriptions, memberships, 1-on-1 coaching and more. These are all marketed separately under different DTC websites and brands in a direct response (DR) manner.

And now we’re centralizing everything under our new brand, Metabolic Living, with our flagship e-comm website launching in March, with our app launching quickly thereafter. Normally, companies launch with a brand and then figure out how to make money. We did that in reverse – pinpointing pain points, curating world-class products, validating product-market match, generating cash flow to self-fund our growth, building out our operational team along the way and then retrofitting the brand on top. Strange path, but here we are. Read our full story here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/metabolic-living/... [1].

 

What’s Our Culture Like?

We’re serious about high-performance, so our culture is built around deep work to allow uninterrupted time for the intense concentration needed to deliver world-class performance. At the same time, real collaboration and transparency is critical to keep us all in alignment and keep office politics out of the equation. These aren’t just talking points – we’ve implemented specific policies, for example:

  • A standardized 8:30 to 5:00 p.m. ET schedule to protect your personal and family time
  • No meetings before 1 p.m. ET to empower you with 4 hours truly of deep work to GSD
  • Daily huddles and weekly 1-on-1s to support your ability to focus on what matters most
