Notable Highlight

Drove above-benchmark ROAS and CTRs for 6–7 figure DTC brands through full-funnel direct-response copy and creative strategy across Meta, Google, Klaviyo, and Postscript.

Experience Summary

JB J. is a Philippines-based digital marketing professional with 10 years of experience across direct response copywriting, email marketing, media buying, automations, creative strategy, and project management. He brings a broad performance marketing background and appears strongest in creative strategy, messaging development, and conversion-focused content planning. He shared a recent example from a health and wellness / supplement client where he developed a performance-oriented creative concept that he said outperformed the client’s ROAS by around 50%. He showed a clear understanding of how to balance persuasive messaging with compliance considerations, which is relevant for brands operating in regulated or sensitive categories. He also demonstrated a practical approach to TikTok and UGC content strategy. His strength appears to be in building briefs, shaping hooks and angles, and improving conversion-focused video structure rather than directly managing creator relationships. He described reviewing sales sequence, offer clarity, guarantee/risk-reversal elements, and supporting visuals when diagnosing videos with strong views but low conversions. JB also appears comfortable using AI in his workflow, particularly Claude, for competitor research, angle generation, and creative ideation. He described a process of feeding research into AI tools, generating hooks and concepts, and then manually refining and fact-checking outputs before use. From an operations standpoint, he emphasized weekly sprint planning, structured production workflows, and the use of ClickUp to help scale content efficiently while maintaining quality. Overall, JB appears best suited for roles focused on creative strategy, performance messaging, UGC scripting, and AI-assisted ideation.
