A bit about us…

At Pure, we’re passionate about transforming dogs’ lives through better nutrition. Born from a friendship between two dog-loving friends and a shared vision, we’ve grown into something truly special – a UK-based company that’s leading the pack in healthy, tailored dog nutrition.

We’re not just another pet food company – we put paws and people first with dogs and their owners driving our decisions. We craft healthy, perfectly portioned meals that delight dogs and keep bowls sparkling clean. But what really makes us different is how we support our pet families every step of the way. Through expert advice and personalised communication, we’re right there beside them on their journey of giving their four-legged family members the best possible life.

The role…

• Come up with scroll-stopping creative concepts for paid social video ads on TikTok and Meta.
• Write high-performing scripts with strong hooks, clear messaging and persuasive storytelling
• Appear on camera to create content, presenting in a natural and relatable way.

• Use AI-assisted editing tools to bring concepts to life quickly.
• Write clear content briefs for production, including filming direction for UGC creators and the in-house team.
• Review ad performance with the team, then test, learn and iterate on creatives based on performance,
• Keep on top of TikTok and Meta trends, and bring new content ideas to the table
• Work closely with the other creative strategists to share ideas, give and take feedback, and keep raising the bar on our creative output.

What we’re looking for

A desire to align to the Pure values:

• Ahead of the Pack: You use data to back up your creative ideas, so every concept has a clear reason behind it. You work closely with others to improve performance, and you plan content that supports growth and drives results for the business.
• Paws & People First: You put dog owners and their needs at the heart of every creative you make. You build great working relationships with your teammates, and you show kindness, honesty and a positive attitude every day.

• New Tricks: You’re always looking for new ideas, trends and ways to improve. You’re open to testing, learning and trying something different, even if it means stepping outside what’s worked before.

• Experience in creative, video editing, content marketing, copywriting, graphic design or organic social.
• A content creator mindset, with confidence and a natural presence on camera and a tone of voice that’s your own.
