JOB OVERVIEW

Hi social media addict ????

Yes, we mean you.

The person who spends way too much time scrolling Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and ---------- .

Who notices weird ads.

Saves clever creatives.

Sees a meme and immediately thinks: “This could actually be an ad.”

And who understands why some ads make you stop scrolling… while others disappear into the feed.

We are looking for a creative / social media monster who can help us take our ads to the next level.

Not just someone who knows Canva or Photoshop.

And definitely not someone who takes a template, changes the colors and calls it a day.

We’re looking for someone who understands advertising.

Someone who can take an idea from us and turn it into something that makes people stop, look and understand the message within seconds.

One VERY important thing:

You need to understand the Dutch / European advertising style.

Dutch ads are often cleaner, more direct, more subtle and less “salesy”.

Typography matters.

Spacing matters.

Photography matters.

The words you emphasize matter.

We need someone who sees the difference between something that feels natural in the feed and something that immediately screams “advertisement”.

You don't necessarily need to have worked for a Dutch company before.

But you do need to be able to study our market, understand our references and adapt your design style to it.

What will you create?

Mostly social media ads for Facebook and Instagram.

And we like experimenting.

One day it might be a clean ad.

The next day:

* A fake WhatsApp conversation
* A handwritten note
* A timer inside a work van
* A meme
* A Reddit-style post
* A screenshot-style creative
* A realistic AI-generated scene
* Or something completely new

The concept comes first.

We don't want every ad to look like an advertisement.

Some of our best-performing ads don't.

How we work

Most of the time, we come up with the marketing concept.

For example:

“We want to show a mechanic sitting in his van with a timer counting down until he can finally go home.”

Your job isn't just to execute it.

We want your brain to start working too.

What should it look like?

What should someone notice first?

How do we make it believable?

Could the idea be even better?

We don't need an order taker.

We want a creative sparring partner.

You might be our person if…

* You regularly create social media ads
* You understand what makes people stop scrolling
* You follow memes, trends, formats and advertising concepts
* You understand typography, hierarchy, spacing and composition
* You know how to use text without turning an ad into a flyer
* You understand that the prettiest ad isn't always the best-performing ad
* You have a strong eye for photography and realistic imagery
* You know when AI looks good and when it looks painfully fake
* You use Canva, Photoshop, Figma or similar tools
* You are comfortable using AI in your workflow
* You can work independently
* You aren't afraid to challenge an idea

Experience with Meta Ads or performance marketing is a big plus.

Things that make us cry

Please don't send us:

* Generic Canva templates
* Stock photo + giant headline + icons + logo
* Designs with six different fonts
* Creatives with 37 things fighting for attention
* Fake-looking AI people
* Perfect designs that communicate absolutely nothing
* Copies of other ads without understanding why they work

We love AI.

We use it ourselves every day.

But AI should make your creative work better.

It should never replace good taste.

About us

We create social media advertising campaigns for companies in the Netherlands.

Our job is to make people stop scrolling, understand a message quickly and take action.

You'll mainly work together with our Marketing Manager, who has been running Meta advertising campaigns for more than 10 years and loves testing new creative concepts.

We're informal, ambitious and constantly experimenting.

If something works, we improve it.

If something doesn't, we kill it and try something else.

No ego.

Just better ads.

Before you apply…

Please do NOT send us a portfolio full of logos, business cards, menus and PowerPoint presentations.

We're hiring you to make ads.

So we want to see ADS.

Send us 3–5 social media advertisements you personally designed.

Preferably work aimed at Dutch or European audiences.

For your strongest ad, briefly tell us:

Why do you think this one works?

We just want to understand how your brain works.

And one final thing:

Start your application with the word “Scrollstopper”.

That way we know you actually made it this far. ????

If you live and breathe social media, love making ads and think you can surprise us creatively…

We want to see your work.
