spinhireCreative Designer
Makes ad creatives for casino and betting traffic: static and video for Facebook, UAC and TikTok, testing angles together with the media buyers.
Creative Designer, Malta & Cyprus, middle: €2 500–3 400 per month gross · SpinHire data as of
What the role involves
A creative designer in an arbitrage team lives in a loop of angle, test, conclusions. In the morning the buyer sends stats: what brought a cheap first deposit, what burned out, which offer got banned. Then you need to put together a batch of new creatives fast: static, slideshows, a reaction-to-a-win video, an AI avatar or native UGC, adapted to the language and geo, keeping in mind that Facebook and TikTok moderation cuts direct mentions of casinos. A good creative designer doesn't wait for a brief, brings ideas from spy tools and knows what works in LatAm and what works in Europe.
Responsibilities
- Static and video creatives for Facebook, Google UAC, TikTok and in-app
- Generate and test new angles: UGC, reactions, native, AI avatars
- Adapt winning creatives to geos, languages and formats
- Gather ideas in spy tools and break down competitors' creatives
- Prepare versions that meet each platform's moderation rules
- Review stats with media buyers and scale winning setups
How performance is measured
- CTR and cost per first deposit by creativeclick-through rate: share of viewers who clicked
- Number of new angles per week
- Share of creatives passing moderation
- Creative lifespan before burnout
Skills required
Professional skills
- Photoshop, Figma and After Effects for static and video
- AI generation: Midjourney, Runway, Kling, HeyGen, lip-sync and voice cloning
- Understanding of Facebook, Google and TikTok moderation rules
- Spy tools and trend analysis
- Basic creative analytics: CTR, CPI, CPA
Soft skills
- Speed and stamina under a heavy workload
- A well-trained eye and initiative without a brief
- Taking criticism based on numbers
Tools
Languages: Russian or Ukrainian is enough inside the team. Reading-level English helps with spy tools and adapting copy.
