An Advertising Designer creates the creative for paid campaigns: static social ads, video ads, display banners, landing pages, and the creative variants that drive performance marketing. They work tightly with paid media buyers and growth marketers, churning out volume while maintaining brand consistency, and they're measured on creative performance (CTR, CVR, CPA) as much as on craft. The role blends graphic design with data-driven iteration.
Advertising Designer salaries align with mid-level designer rates. Expect an average U.S. salary of $5,000 per month compared with an average Latin American salary of $2,500 per month, creating potential savings of up to 50%. LatAm has built a strong advertising design bench from agency and in-house growth team backgrounds, with designers shipping high-volume creative for U.S. paid media programs.
Yes, advertising design is fully remote-friendly. South contracts the designer locally, runs payroll and compliance, and bills you monthly. They join your Figma, asset management, and Slack day one. Time-zone alignment helps for fast revision cycles and live creative reviews with the paid team.
Strong design fundamentals, brand-system fluency, and the speed to ship 10-20 variants per week without quality degradation. Look for portfolios with shipped paid creative and clear performance numbers. Test with a paid brief: produce 8 ad variants for a single product across two formats. The signal is platform-native judgment plus production speed.
Figma for design and prototyping. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects for graphics and motion. Canva for fast templated work. CapCut or Premiere Pro for short-form video. Asset management in Frontify or Brandfolder. Familiarity with Meta Ads Library, TikTok Creative Center, and Google Ads creative specs.

The region has the perfect mix of everything you want in remote employees: English skills, shared time zones, hard-working, and depth of talent. They are already accustomed to working remotely for top US startups and Fortune 500 companies.
Absolutely! The US and Latin America have basically the same time zones. No Latin American city is more than two hours ahead of EST.
Every hire is sourced based on your exact needs. They will arrive ready to support your business right away. They can do basically any tasks done remotely, but we recommend starting them as support so your team has more bandwidth for high-value strategic tasks.
All types of roles - customer service, executive assistant, sales, accounting, email marketing, lead generation, content writers, operations, social media marketing, and more!
You can pay directly through us (most popular) or we can connect you with one of our payroll partners.
You don't have to deal with any American labor laws / taxes when hiring full-time remote contractors. They aren't US-based, so no visas or sponsorships to deal with either.
We recommend market pay which varies for each role. See our salary guide and success stories for some ideas.
Then, we have two different models:
Staffing (most popular) - We charge a small monthly fee for each employee's monthly salary to make the process hassle-free. The fee covers sourcing, recruiting, admin, payroll, compliance, ongoing support, and a free replacement if necessary at any point. There are no cancellation fees or minimum commitments. You only pay if you make a hire.
Headhunting - A one-time simple fee once we've found the perfect candidate. This comes with a 120-day replacement guarantee.
For both options, you only pay something if we find you someone great that you want to hire.
Yes, we only recruit for full-time and we strongly recommend full-time hiring if you can. Stability (full-time & long-term) is highly sought after abroad. The top caliber candidates are only looking for full-time work.
You're also going to spend time training and getting them up to speed on your processes. It would be a waste to do that over and over again with new people all the time.
We recommend training new hires on one thing at a time.
For example, once they get up to speed on lead generation, you can add the next role writing blog posts or whatever you'd like. You can definitely overlap roles until you have enough work for multiple people.
The cost of living is much less in Latin American countries. Many of our employees are able to own homes, raise families, provide for their parents, and have in-home help of their own with their salaries.
If you aren't happy with your hire in the first 120 days, we will work with you to conduct a second round of search for the same role for free.
