Freelance Senior Copywriter

Los Angeles, CA or New York, NY

THE ROLE

We’re looking to build our bench of exceptional Freelance Senior Copywriters for ongoing project-based needs. This is not for one specific assignment, rather we’re seeking versatile, conceptual, and social-native writers who can jump in as opportunities arise.

As a Freelance Senior Copywriter, you’ll craft bold, culturally fluent copy across campaigns, pitches, social content, brand storytelling, and concept development. You’ll help shape ideas that break through, push brands into cultural relevance, and speak directly to today’s digital audience. Your ability to work autonomously, think big, and adapt your voice across categories will make you an invaluable creative partner for our internal teams and clients.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Concept, write, and collaborate on world-class creative across new business, social, digital, and integrated campaigns
  • Partner closely with creative directors, designers, strategists, and producers to bring ideas to life from brainstorm to final delivery
  • Develop disruptive campaign concepts that feel native to platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging channels
  • Write compelling social-first copy across short-form video, scripts, captions, campaign taglines, brand messaging, decks, and more
  • Elevate creative presentations and pitches with sharp, digestible, emotionally resonant writing
  • Bring a proactive POV on cultural trends, platform behavior, audience insights, and storytelling formats
  • Collaborate with production and post teams to ensure creative integrity through delivery
  • Adapt brand voices across diverse industries while maintaining clarity, consistency, and creative spark
 
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of copywriting experience at creative agencies, in-house brand teams, or content-driven environments (social-first experience strongly preferred)
  • A portfolio showcasing breakthrough, platform-native work. Especially TikTok-forward and social-first storytelling
  • Strong conceptual abilities with proven experience taking ideas from concept through execution
  • Deep understanding of cultural trends, digital behavior, and what stops thumbs on social
  • Ability to write in multiple tones, from sharp and witty to editorial, emotional, or brand-forward
  • Comfortable working autonomously, managing deadlines, and jumping into fast-moving environments
  • Passion for new media, emerging platforms, creator culture, and modern entertainment, paired with low interest in traditional, slow-moving advertising formats

We look forward to hearing from you! 🎵💃

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
