Hiring guide

What to look for in a Video Ads freelancer

A strong video ad creator understands direct response as much as editing, building creative that earns the click. Look for:

  • A grip on the hook, knowing the first seconds decide whether the ad works.
  • A conversion mindset, pacing toward a clear action, not just a pretty edit.
  • Format fluency: vertical, square, and landscape cuts with captions baked in.
  • A habit of testing, delivering multiple hooks and variants to compare.
  • Results-oriented examples in the reel, ideally ads that actually ran and performed.

Ask which of their ads ran live and what happened after. A creator who talks in hooks and results, not just transitions, tends to make ads that convert.
