The Role
We are searching for a Direct Response Copywriter to write the scripts and copy behind the ads we produce for our clients. We are a UK creative agency making direct response video ads for DTC brands in beauty, wellness, sport and consumer goods, and our goal on every account is the same: to consistently improve the results and return on investment of the ads we create. Your role sits at the writing stage of that process. Working from an approved concept, a brief and a set of references, you will write full video ad scripts, with hooks, body copy and calls to action crafted for spoken delivery, along with multiple hook variations for testing. The work is predominantly video, with regular opportunities for static ad copywriting as well. You will need to understand the metrics direct response copy is judged on, including hook rate, hold rate, click-through rate, cost per acquisition and return on ad spend, and how the words you write move each of them. This is a collaborative system. You will work closely with management, receive structured feedback on every batch, and revise scripts based on both team notes and real ad performance. Deliverables are agreed at the start of each week, so you always know exactly what is expected. This is a part-time role with a clear path to full-time for a writer who consistently delivers
Main Responsibilities
Write direct response video ad scripts (hook, body, CTA) from approved concepts and briefs.
Write multiple hook variations for testing on each script.
Revise scripts based on team feedback and real ad performance.
Write occasional supporting copy (headlines, primary text) tied to the same concepts.
Follow our script templates, SOPs and formatting standards exactly.
Deliver the agreed weekly set of scripts on schedule.
Ad hoc copy and creative tasks.
Essential Requirements
- Exceptional English. Written English at a very high level. Your scripts must sound like a real person talking, not an essay, and you must understand a brief first time.
- Direct response experience. You have written copy that actually ran and produced results, ideally video ads for Meta or TikTok.
- Copy thinking. You think in hooks, angles, objections and awareness levels. You should also deeply understand buyer psychology and native social media content
- Ultra-responsive. Fast replies during working hours are essential to this role. Comfortable and active on Slack and WhatsApp every day.
- System discipline. You follow templates and SOPs exactly, hit deadlines without being chased, and take blunt feedback without ego.
What We Will Train
- Our script system, templates and SOPs.
- Our clients, their offers and their past winning ads.
- Our feedback and performance-review loop.
Desirable
- Experience writing for e-commerce or DTC brands.
- Familiarity with Meta metrics such as hook rate and thumbstop.
- Experience writing UGC-style scripts for creators or AI avatars.
