Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the development of client-facing pitch decks, proposals, campaign write-ups, and strategic narratives across new business and existing client opportunities: including deck structure, slide flow, headlines, copy, rationale, and overall presentation story.
  • Translate creative concepts into clear, persuasive language that helps clients understand the insight, strategy, execution, and cultural relevance behind each idea.
  • Help sell creative ideas through by framing concepts around client objectives, audience insights, cultural relevance, platform behavior, and business impact.
  • Understand client briefs, feedback, brand priorities, approval dynamics, and stakeholder concerns - and use that understanding to shape stronger pitch narratives.
  • Pressure-test creative ideas from a client POV, identifying where concepts may need clearer rationale, stronger strategic grounding, or sharper explanation before being presented.
  • Partner with creative leads, producers, account teams, and leadership to shape campaign concepts from early ideation through final presentation.
  • Build deck narratives that do more than describe ideas: they create momentum, establish confidence, and help clients see why the recommendation is right for their brand.
  • Help structure presentations so they tell a cohesive story, including the brief, opportunity, audience insight, strategic approach, creative territories, campaign ideas, deliverables, rationale, and next steps.
  • Write sharp headlines, concept descriptions, strategic framing, campaign names, content series descriptions, and presentation copy.
  • Support proactive pitch development by identifying cultural trends, social behaviors, creator formats, entertainment moments, and platform opportunities relevant to brands and clients.
  • Help refine ideas so they feel clear, ownable, executable, and aligned with client goals.
  • Support Flighthouse’s owned marketing and positioning needs, including LinkedIn copy, website copy, case study language, agency credentials, and other external-facing materials.
  • Help draft and shape award submissions by translating campaign results, creative strategy, cultural impact, and client work into compelling written narratives.
  • Maintain consistency in how Flighthouse talks about its work, capabilities, case studies, and point of view across pitches, owned channels, and external submissions.
  • Bring a strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram, creators, entertainment fandoms, internet humor, Gen Z/millennial culture, and social-first storytelling into the work.
  • Other duties as assigned

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in creative strategy, brand strategy, social strategy, copywriting, agency new business, entertainment marketing, or a similar role.
  • Strong writing skills with the ability to make ideas sound clear, exciting, strategic, and client-ready.
  • Experience developing pitch decks, campaign proposals, creative briefs, client presentations, or strategy materials.
  • Strong deck-building instincts; you understand how to structure a presentation, build a narrative arc, write effective slide copy, and make information easy for clients to follow.
  • Experience translating client briefs, feedback, or business objectives into strategic creative recommendations.
  • A strong understanding of social-first content, internet culture, creators, entertainment marketing, and digital platforms.
  • Ability to balance creative ambition with client realities, including budget, timing, brand guidelines, audience needs, stakeholder concerns, and approval processes.
  • Strong client empathy; you understand what clients need to hear in order to feel confident saying yes.
  • Ability to take loose ideas and turn them into structured, persuasive narratives.
  • A good creative filter: you can tell when an idea is strong, when it needs work, and how to make it easier to understand.
