Creative Performance Specialist

About us

Creative Milkshake is a remote-first performance creative agency. We make scroll-stopping short-form ads for some of the world’s most exciting DTC brands on Meta and TikTok - high-volume, fast-moving, and built to convert.

We’re a close-knit team of ~34 people spread across the Netherlands, the Philippines, South Africa, Spain, and beyond. We’ve recently joined the Fieldtrip group alongside inBeat, which means we’re growing - in ambition, in capability, and in the complexity of clients we work with.

Our Amsterdam studio is the creative heart of our production operation. Over the next 1–2 years, we’re expanding from UGC-first content toward elevated branded formats, this role is central to holding the quality bar as we scale.
