Let’s get to it shall we?
We need an amazing words person.
Someone who can listen to the mutterings of a mumbled brief, and turn it into world-class work that makes people feel something.
You’ll bend like rubber round different forms of writing – from ads to explainers, long-form to social – with boldness, brevity, brilliance.
(To us, copywriters are also the original strategists. Obsessing about audience, message and outcomes.)
Who are Tilt?
We don’t work on fluff.
We take on big, challenging projects that make a positive impact. Whether helping reduce global drink driving rates alongside the UN, creating drama series for one of the world’s biggest organisations, or explaining complex ideas in bite-sized chunks for the BBC.
So, if you’re happy applying your beautiful brain to selling more sugar water at McGinty, Buttock & Smith, this probably isn’t the role for you.
On the other hand, if you like being given the freedom to flex the full scope of your creative and storytelling powers in the pursuit of something glorious, then come say hello.
Copywriting chops. You:
- Can write killer ideas.
- Love scripting – whether explainer, ad or other.
- Can write long and short-form content.
- Find it difficult not to correct, a grammar mistake,
- Work brilliantly with visually-led creatives. (Art directors, designers, filmmakers, animators etc. etc.)
- Refuse to be beaten by “boring briefs.”
- Have worked with big brands and organisations on challenging projects.
- Love the art (and buzz) of proposal/pitch work.
- Write. Write. And re-write.
Bonus points if you:
- Have experience in writing for digital experiences (from immersive stories, to interactive games).
- Have experience writing drama, comedy or other narrative scripts.
- Get a kick out of running workshops.
- Have experience working with learning content.
- Can knock up a pretty decent wireframe to help designers.
Personal qualities. You:
- Are constantly told you have a way with words.

You’re not:
-
Surface. You think a lot about how and why something works.
-
Standard issue. We like individuals and misfits. That doesn’t mean you have to be loud and wacky – just that you’re happy being yourself.
-
A monster. We are nice people who do great work. Egomaniacs need not apply.
