Who we are

Second Take is a full-stack marketing agency for home service companies and real estate media companies. We build the offer, the ads, the booking and the sales process, and we judge our work by the revenue our clients collect.

We go heavy on creative. Plenty of agencies flood the feed with cheap ads that look like everyone else's. We put the work into research, customer language and offers that stand out in their market.

The role

You lead creative and strategy for a book of about 10 clients and work directly with Chris, our co-founder who runs fulfillment.

You won't be the account manager. You will talk to clients when it matters, like pitching a new offer idea or walking them through their account report, so you need to be clear and confident on a call.

What you'll handle

• Client strategy and offer creation
• Creative strategy: angles, hooks and messaging
• Writing video scripts and ad copy
• Creating briefs for editors and designers
• Leading and managing the creative team
• Managing ads, or managing a media buyer who runs them
• Reporting results to clients

You direct it. Your team builds it.

• Your own ops assistant for the trench work: automations, landing pages and task tracking.
• Your own video editor and graphic designer who turn your scripts and briefs into ads.
• A sales team that fills your book. You never sell to get clients.
• Any AI tool you want, paid for by us, plus our own AI system for research and reporting.

Pay

Who this role is for

• You've run an agency, or led strategy at one.
• You've managed real Meta lead gen budgets in the last 12 months.
• You write copy and scripts that sound like a person talking.
• You've led a creative team or directed editors and designers.
• You can jump on a call with a client to pitch an idea or walk through a report.
• Native-level English, and free for client calls 8am to 2pm Pacific.

Who this role is not for

• You want to live in Ads Manager and never talk to a client.
• You blame the client or the algorithm when results dip.
• You need a script for every situation.
• You plan to keep running a competing agency on the side.
