PLEASE READ. Applications that do not address the questions on the job description will not be accepted. We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on freelancer to help grow GC18, a UK functional drinks brand starting with golf. Our core product is a 60 ml performance shot, sold through our website and golf pro shops. We have soft-launched and are preparing for a bigger spring 2027 launch. We want someone who can work directly with the founder, take ownership of paid advertising and help build a consistent process for producing effective creative. **The immediate priority** Over winter, we’ll run controlled tests, improve our advertising and website conversion, and prepare the creative and campaign plan for spring. We want thoughtful testing and clear recommendations, with spending increasing as the evidence supports it. **What you’ll be responsible for** - Reviewing our existing advertising, purchase tracking and website journey. - Managing and improving Meta campaigns within agreed budgets. - Assessing and managing Google Ads where there is a clear opportunity. - Developing creative concepts, hooks, copy and practical briefs for creators and editors. - Coordinating agreed creative deliverables and identifying which content to develop further. - Recommending improvements to landing pages, offers and the purchase journey. - Providing a short weekly update covering results, learning, next actions and budget. - Preparing a clear advertising and creative plan for the spring launch. Meta will be the initial priority. We value someone who can explain where to concentrate resources. **Who we’re looking for** - Demonstrable experience selling physical products through ecommerce advertising. - Strong hands-on Meta experience and relevant Google Ads experience. - Experience working with smaller brands and budgets, rather than only established advertisers. - Strong creative judgement, particularly for creator-led video advertising. - An understanding of acquisition cost, margins, repeat purchasing and attribution limitations. - Familiarity with Shopify and ecommerce purchase tracking. - Practical use of AI tools for research, creative development, analysis or workflow improvement. - Clear communication and the ability to work independently. Experience with drinks, sports nutrition, supplements or golf would be useful. Relevant ecommerce results matter more than personal interest in golf. **Working arrangement and budget** Remote freelance role, with regular availability during UK working hours. UK-based applicants are preferred, although we’re open to other locations. Indicative management budget: **£1,500–£2,500 per month**, depending on experience, capacity and agreed scope. Advertising spend, creator fees and substantial filming or editing are separate budgets. Please explain what creative work you can personally deliver and what would require additional support. We propose an initial paid month, with an ongoing relationship for the right person. **Please include in your proposal** 1. Two relevant ecommerce examples, including dates, advertising spend, results and your personal contribution. 2. An example of a creative brief or advertisement you helped develop. 3. Your priorities for the first 30 days with an early-stage brand like ours. 4. Your monthly fee, estimated time commitment, availability and exclusions. 5.

15 hours ago29 proposalsRemoteTshirt Designer for Wargaming store
Hi! I'm Tom, and I'm setting up a wargaming and hobby shop called Nirvana Wargaming in Chesterfield, UK. Alongside the shop, I'm developing our own range of T-shirts featuring original artwork. If you love warhammer, DND or any other wargames this could be a fun thing to work on. I'm looking for an illustrator whose style would suit the range, ideally someone I'd be able to work with on multiple designs over time. **The style I'm after** I'm drawn to dark fantasy, gothic imagery, medieval warriors, religious symbolism and grim, apocalyptic landscapes. I love artwork that tells a story, particularly illustrations with a strong central character set against a detailed backdrop. Some of the inspiration comes from older grimdark artwork and settings such as Trench Crusade, but I'm keen to develop our own original style rather than simply create gaming merchandise. Ideally, the designs would appeal to people who love alternative clothing and dark fantasy, even if they've never played a wargame. The T-shirts will be black and washed-black oversized fits, so artwork that works well against dark fabric would be ideal. **What I'm looking for** - Original illustrations created specifically for our brand. - The opportunity to discuss ideas and agree on a rough concept before the finished artwork. - High-resolution, transparent-background files suitable for DTF T-shirt printing. - Editable source files where possible. - Commercial usage rights that allow us to print and sell the designs on our own clothing, including future reprints. I'm hoping to start with one design and, if we work well together, commission more as the clothing range develops. I am completely new to this so have no idea how this works. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do! Tom Nirvana Wargaming
