Direct-Response Ad Scriptwriter for Paid Social (UGC + AI Video)
Worldwide
What we do We're a direct-response Meta advertising agency. We make short-form video ads (UGC-style and AI-animated) for health and supplement brands. What matters here is whether the ad converts on paid social. We move fast, test a lot, and scale what works. The role You write the scripts behind ads that sell product. We already use AI to generate first drafts, so this isn't a blank-page job. Your value is turning real customer research into hooks and angles that convert, and making every line pass a strict compliance review without going flat. Plenty of writers can write a hook that grabs attention. Far fewer can do it under FTC and supplement-claim rules. If you can do both, you're rare, and we'll pay accordingly.
