Comedic Creative Strategist & Scriptwriter (E-Commerce Performance Ads)

We are a fast-growing DTC e-commerce brand looking for a Comedic Creative Strategist & Ad Scriptwriter to craft high-converting, genuinely funny video ad scripts. We don't want generic "marketing humor"—we need a working comedian or comedic writer who understands timing, satire, relatable pain points, and viral internet culture, combined with direct-response ad strategy. You will be responsible for conceptualizing ad angles, writing full scripts, and designing UGC briefs for our creators and editors. Responsibilities: Concept and write high-converting video ad scripts (TikTok, Meta, Reels) that use humor, satire, and relatable skits to drive sales. Turn raw product benefits and customer pain points into funny, scroll-stopping visual hooks and comedic narratives. Build detailed briefs for UGC creators and video editors, outlining exact dialogue, visual cues, comedic timing notes, and emotional beats. Analyze performance data (hook rate, watch time, CPA) alongside our marketing team to iterate on winning jokes, formats, and angles. Requirements: Background as a working Stand-Up Comedian, Improv Performer, Comedy Writer, or Comedic Content Creator. Proven experience writing direct-response video ad scripts or comedic short-form video content. Deep understanding of short-form video pacing, visual humor, and viral ad structures. Ability to write in multiple comedic styles (deadpan, exaggerated, satirical, relatable, self-deprecating). Important Application Instruction: Please make sure your proposal starts with the word "apple" (lowercase, exactly as written). Any proposal that does not begin with "apple" will be ignored. To Apply, Please Include: Examples of comedic ad scripts, short-form video scripts, or comedy writing samples you’ve authored. A brief note explaining your comedy background and how you approach writing humor that actually converts. Your rate per script or monthly retainer structure.
