Junior Copywriter

At Alien Hours, we don't just create ads; we build visual experiences that land in the cultural zeitgeist. We specialize in high-concept campaigns, brand-defining films, and motion graphics that blur the line between advertising and art. We're seeking a visionary Senior Motion Designer who has not only mastered their craft but can also pilot a team of talented creatives into uncharted territories.

If you’ve led a team in the fast-paced world of advertising and your reel is a versatile collection of stories told through motion, you might be the alien we're looking for.

The Role:

We're seeking a Junior Copywriter who possesses that innate, hard-to-teach knack for words. You're the person who hears a brand name and instantly thinks of three potential taglines. You read a billboard and instinctively rewrite it in your head. You understand that powerful copy isn't just what you say, but how you make people feel. You are a conceptual thinker with a passion for crafting messages that stick.

This is your opportunity to transform your raw talent into a professional craft. You'll be mentored by industry veterans, work on real client briefs, and see your ideas come to life.

Key Responsibilities:

• Concept & Craft: Collaborate with art directors to brainstorm, develop, and execute creative concepts from scratch across all platforms—social, digital, video, print, and experiential.
• Write & Refine: Draft compelling, clear, and concise copy for a wide range of deliverables, from Twitter threads and email sequences to video scripts and website landing pages.
• Find the Voice: Immerse yourself in our clients' brands to discover and consistently articulate their unique voice and tone.
• Learn & Adapt: Actively participate in creative reviews, absorb feedback from directors and clients, and relentlessly refine your work until it's perfect.
• Proof & Polish: Meticulously proofread all copy to ensure it is error-free and meets the highest quality standards.

Who You Are (The Must-Haves):

• A Portfolio of Potential: Show us a portfolio (spec work, student projects, and personal passion projects are encouraged) that demonstrates your knack for concept, catchy phrasing, and understanding of brand voice.
• A Natural Wordsmith: You have an impeccable command of grammar and a passion for the rhythm and flow of language. You know when to be punchy and when to be poetic.
• A Conceptual Thinker: You see the big idea first and the words second. You understand that a great line is nothing without a great thought behind it.
• A Digital Native: You intuitively understand the nuances of different social platforms and what kind of content captivates an audience on each.
• Resilient & Eager: You have a thick skin, a collaborative spirit, and an insatiable appetite to learn, improve, and create brilliant work.
