About The Role
We are looking for an experienced screenwriter / promo writer who loves storytelling and understands how content wins on Facebook and Instagram.
This role is for you if you enjoy drama, twists, bold characters, and emotional turns - and know how to reshape all of that into short, scroll-stopping promos that feel sharp, exciting, and native to Meta platforms.
Your writing will shape Reels, feed videos, stories, captions, and on-screen text that make viewers pause mid-scroll, lean in, and want to watch more.
What You'll Do
- Write high-impact promo scripts for microdramas across Facebook and Instagram formats - Reels, feed videos, stories, and short promos - crafting strong hooks, captions, and opening lines that establish the core drama within seconds.
- Translate complex storylines and character arcs into short, punchy promo narratives without losing emotional impact.
- Analyse top-performing Meta content and audience response to identify effective storytelling patterns, and evolve promo writing by refining tone, pacing, and structure using both creative judgement and performance insights.
- Collaborate closely with video editors, graphic designers, and content teams to ensure copy, visuals, and on-screen text work seamlessly together.
- Stay updated on Meta trends, audience behaviour, and content formats, and apply these insights creatively to promo storytelling.
What We're Looking For
- 36 years of experience in Meta-first screenwriting or promo writing for OTT platforms, web series, films, or D2C brands.
- Strong storytelling instincts with a clear understanding of short-form hooks, pacing, emotional beats, and payoff for Facebook and Instagram.
- Ability to write sharp, emotionally engaging, curiosity-driven copy that works across captions, dialogue snippets, and on-screen text.
- A structured, data-aware approach to creative work - comfortable using performance insights to inform decisions and improve output over time.
- A creative self-starter who takes ownership, works fast, and enjoys shaping stories under tight timelines.
Why Join Us
- Opportunity to work in a fast-growing audio and content platform.
- Exposure to multi-language marketing and global user base strategies.
- A collaborative work environment with a data-driven and innovative approach.
- Competitive salary and growth opportunities in marketing and growth strategy.
