YOUR WORDS. A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES.

Here’s an opportunity worth writing home about!

We’re looking for an experienced digital writer to join an iconic global homeware brand as a mid to senior Copywriter at its Somerset West headquarters.

This is an exciting, hybrid opportunity to write for international markets, creating compelling content that brings a premium brand to life across multiple platforms. While some print copy is involved, the lion’s share of your work will be digital.

You’ll need to be highly organised, comfortable proofreading your own work and confident managing multiple projects in a busy studio environment.

If you thrive on the energy of a fast-paced creative team, love premium brands and have an eye on international markets, we’d love to hear from you!
