Responsibilities

• Scriptwriting: Write compelling, clear, and highly persuasive scripts for 30-second (as well as 15s and 60s) television commercials, pre-roll video, digital ads, and radio.
• Visual Storytelling: Think and write with visuals in mind. Format scripts in standard A/V format, adhere to our internal best practices, provide clear direction for graphics and visuals, sound design, and voiceover tone.
• Concepting: Be ready to pitch concepts for scripts to CDs and Partners based on individual client needs. Should have a pretty solid understanding of political ad medium and stay on top of current ad trends (political or non-political). Should have no fear of doing something on the edge of the discourse.
• Rapid Response: Draft quick-turnaround scripts in response to breaking news, debate moments, or opposition actions without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
• Message Distillation: Translate complex polling data, campaign platforms, and opposition research into punchy, emotional language that resonates with the target demographic.
• Collaboration: Collaborate with Creative Directors, Art Directors, Video Editors, Designers, Producers, and Political Strategists to ensure the final cut matches the strategic vision.
• Quality Control: Ensure all copy aligns with campaign messaging, legal disclaimers, and broadcast clearance requirements

Requirements

• Experience: 3–5+ years of copywriting experience at an advertising agency, political consultancy, media, or campaign.
• Portfolio: A strong reel or portfolio showcasing produced 30-second broadcast and/or digital video spots is required.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of standard script formatting (A/V scripts), word-count-to-time-code ratios (knowing exactly how many words fit into a 30-second read), and broadcast standards.
• Adaptability: Ability to write across a variety of tones—from positive, uplifting biographical spots to hard-hitting, contrast-driven opposition ads.
• Resilience: Capacity to thrive under tight deadlines, handle multiple revisions gracefully, and work campaign hours when the election cycle demands it. Nothing’s precious.

Preferred

• Political experience: Previous experience working on political campaigns, PACs, or issue-advocacy groups is strongly preferred.
