• Up to 7 years into your creative career, with strong thinking, craft, and a portfolio that shows what you can do - with a background rooted in campaign ideation and short-form copy, not long-form editorial.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking, format-aware copy, and integrated campaign work across multiple channels.
• Deep knowledge of advertising formats — you understand how to write for OOH, social media, and short-form content, and know that a great idea must be tailored to the format and audience, not simply repurposed.
• Script and brief writing ability — you can write a tight video script and a clear, actionable creative brief with equal confidence.
• Strong aesthetic and visual understanding — you can think in images as well as words, and understand how copy shapes the overall visual and creative direction of a campaign.
• A collaborative, ego-free mindset — you're a natural thinker who takes feedback constructively, understands that great work serves business and communication goals, and thrives in a cross-cultural team environment.
• Confidence presenting and defending ideas — you can pitch a concept clearly to stakeholders and adapt it with grace when the brief evolves.
• Experience writing for short-form video formats (e.g., Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) is a must — familiarity with how copy and pacing work together in short-form storytelling is valued.
• Experience in film production processes is advantageous.
