Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Campaign & Digital Copy - Campaign copy across digital channels—email, paid social, display, and website content
  • Product detail page (PDP) copy for PopSockets.com and wholesale partner platforms, written with SEO best practices in mind
  • Paid ad copy for performance campaigns, balancing brand voice with conversion intent
  • Video & Motion Scripts - Scripts for short-form social video (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts), online video advertising (OLV), and brand films
  • Voiceover scripts, supers, and on-screen text for motion and animated content
  • Creative frameworks and talking-point briefs for influencer and creator partnerships
  • Physical & Retail Copy - Packaging copy that communicates product benefits and brand personality with clarity and charm

  • Wholesale and retail partner toolkits—sell-in copy, co-branded asset copy, and brand guidance materials for major retail accounts
  • UX & E-Commerce Copy - Website micro-copy—CTAs, navigation labels, onboarding flows, checkout messaging, error states, and confirmation copy for PopSockets.com

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of copywriting experience at a brand, agency, or in-house creative team—consumer products or e-commerce background strongly preferred
  • A portfolio that demonstrates range: campaign concepts, product copy, social, and at least some script or video work. We want to see how your brain works, not just how you write
  • A strong grasp of brand voice with the ability to flex tone across formats, channels, and audiences without losing the thread
  • Comfort with SEO fundamentals—you know how to write for humans first while giving search engines what they need
  • Solid writing fundamentals across long and short form—grammar, clarity, rhythm, and an instinct for what makes a line land
  • Script-writing experience or genuine enthusiasm for it—social video is a major part of this role
  • Curiosity and creative range: you explore multiple directions before landing on the right one, and you welcome the brief as a creative challenge
  • Familiarity with AI writing tools as part of your creative workflow—not as a replacement for craft, but as a productive collaborator
  • A collaborative spirit and openness to feedback; you thrive in an iterative, cross-functional environment with shifting priorities
