Job description

Social Creative / Copywriter
Location: London, regional UK or New York, depending on the right candidate
Salary: £38000 - £44000
Full time | Mid-weight

We're working with a culture-first creative agency looking for a Social Creative / Copywriter to develop bold ideas and brilliant writing for a portfolio of world-famous brands.

This is a role for an ideas-led creative whose craft is language. Someone who can find an unexpected angle on a brief, write a genuinely funny script and make a caption work just as hard as a campaign headline.

You’ll understand how people talk online, what makes different platforms tick and how to bring a brand into the conversation in a way that feels natural.

The role

Working within the copy team and alongside creatives, strategists, designers and producers, you’ll develop work spanning everyday organic content through to bigger, fame-making campaigns.

Coming up with original, social-first campaign and content ideas.

Writing scripts, on-screen text, captions, headlines and calls to action.

Adapting brand voices across platforms, formats and audiences.

Contributing to tone of voice guidelines, messaging decks and creative toolkits.

Keeping close to the trends, memes and conversations shaping culture.

Presenting your ideas confidently to colleagues and clients.

Helping bring concepts to life with an understanding of how social content is filmed, edited and published.

About you

You’ll have around 2-4 years' agency experience and a portfolio that shows both creative thinking and excellent writing for social.

You’ll bring:

A sharp ear for how people write and talk online.

The ability to write brave, funny and engaging copy across different brand voices.

A strong understanding of platform nuances, from TikTok to LinkedIn.

The judgement to balance cultural relevance with what makes sense for a brand.

Curiosity about audiences beyond your own feed.

A collaborative approach and confidence explaining the thinking behind your work.

Experience developing ideas with a creative partner and writing entertaining short-form video scripts would be a bonus.

This role is suited to a mid-weight copywriter ready to bring fresh ideas and a distinctive way with words.
