COPYWRITER: FULL-SERVICE ADVERTISING AGENCY

Copywriter – Creative (Integrated)
Western Cape

Wordsmiths where you at? We have a superb, on-site opportunity for a sharp, versatile Junior or Mid Copywriter to join the friendly, high-energy team at a bustling full-service advertising agency in Cape Town.
The agency works Through-The-Line (TTL), so you’ll be ideating and writing for everything from social media and digital campaigns to traditional print, video scripts and long-form content. The ideal candidate is someone who can switch seamlessly between all media and markets. We are looking for an integrated creative who isn’t just a "writer" – you are a thinker and a problem-solver.
The agency boasts an incredibly diverse client base, so you’ll never get bored.
If you are conceptually minded and craft-driven this is a marvellous opportunity to join a friendly team who value independence and will give you the space to run with your own ideas as you grow within the agency. Apply today.
 
Responsibilities
 
  • Ideation: Brainstorming fresh, creative concepts that work across multiple channels.
  • Writing: Crafting clean, compelling, and brand-accurate copy for a wide range of audiences.
  • Adaptability: Switching "voices" seamlessly between different industries and platforms.
  • Independent Execution: Taking ownership of tasks and seeing them through once you’ve mastered our internal processes and client nuances.
  • Collaboration: Working closely with our teams to hit the mark every time and going home (at a decent time) with a feeling of accomplishment.
 
Requirements
The successful candidate must have/be:
 
  • Relevant tertiary qualification from AAA, Red & Yellow or Vega.
  • 2-3 years’ traditional through the line advertising agency experience.
  • Logical & Creative: You have the flair for a great headline, but the logic to ensure the message makes sense for the business.
  • AI-Fluent: You don’t see AI as a threat; you see it as a superpower. Experience using ChatGPT and Gemini to speed up research and refine drafts is highly recommended.
  • A Team Player: You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and help the team, but you’re equally comfortable flying solo when the mission is clear.
  • Curious: You’re genuinely interested in learning about businesses you never knew existed.
 
Please submit a relevant portfolio along with your CV on application.
 
If you don’t have the relevant experience required for this role, please consider your application unsuccessful.
