Singapore-based
Minimum 3-5 years experience
We’re looking for a MIDWEIGHT COPYWRITER who has all the skills—versatility, creativity, and a sharp conceptual mind—to step into the exciting world of sports and entertainment with one of the best teams in the business. If you’re equally comfortable crafting slick, edgy social copy and delivering sophisticated, thought-provoking storytelling, all while coming up with bold, impactful ideas, this is your chance to thrive in a fast-paced, culturally rich industry.

- Adaptable Writing Style: A portfolio showcasing work that spans styles—from edgy, attention-grabbing social content to more refined, sophisticated copy that tells a deeper story.
- Storytelling Expertise: A knack for crafting narratives that bring ideas to life, from short, punchy taglines to longer-form content, always grounded in cultural relevance.
- Cultural Savvy: A deep curiosity about cultural trends, subcultures, and emerging movements, with the ability to incorporate these insights into creative work that resonates.
- Collaborative Spirit: Experience working closely with art directors and other team members, contributing to the overall vision while ensuring the written elements stand out.
- Attention to Detail: A sharp eye for craft, ensuring every word counts and every piece of work is polished and precise.
