Creative Copywriter

We’re looking for a Creative Copywriter with a sharp eye for storytelling and a flair for turning ideas into compelling scripts and digital content. This is a contract role focused primarily on developing social video scripts and creative concepts for digital campaigns, with secondary support in e-commerce digital content creation.

This role leans heavily into the creative side of copywriting, especially video—think short-form, thumb-stopping content that grabs attention and drives engagement. You’ll collaborate closely with creatives, strategists, and marketing teams to bring ideas to life for one of our leading clients in the consumer retail space.

This is a 6-month contract, which may involve the talent going into the office in Toronto occasionally to collaborate with the client's content creator during content creation. Hours may flex on this role on a weekly basis up to 35 hours per week.

Responsibilities:

• Write engaging and original video scripts for social and digital platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.)
• Conceptualize creative ideas and campaign angles for brand and product storytelling
• Support the team in writing e-commerce copy, including product descriptions, banners, and other digital assets
• Collaborate with creative and strategy teams to ensure messaging aligns with brand tone, campaign goals, and audience insights
• Participate in brainstorms, pitch sessions, and creative reviews
• Adapt messaging across channels while maintaining a consistent brand voice

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience as a copywriter, preferably in an agency or fast-paced in-house environment
• Strong portfolio showcasing video scripts, digital campaigns, and e-commerce content
• Exceptional storytelling skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives in a few words
• Ability to think conceptually and translate strategy into creative execution
• Experience writing for digital and social media platforms
• Collaborative mindset with strong communication skills

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience with retail or e-commerce brands
• Familiarity with video production or content creation workflows
• A sense of humour and a sharp creative POV
