Inkitt is building the Operating System for Storytellers, standing at the forefront of technology and entertainment.

Leveraging AI and predictive algorithms, Inkitt discovers unknown stories and turns them into blockbuster hits, producing a new $1M ebook every 7 days and selling directly to consumers through its Inkitt Galatea app. Bestsellers are then translated onto the screen through Inkitt CandyJar, the #1 US-based microdrama platform with billions of episodes streamed to date, and Inkitt Ironblood, the world's first streaming app for superhero, sci-fi and action stories.

Inkitt has become the 11th most bestseller-generating publisher in the world, boasting a 40x higher hit-rate than traditional publishers.

Backed by some of the top VC’s such as: Khosla, Kleiner Perkins, and NEA Ventures, our recent expansion into Ironblood, the first AI Native streaming platform for action and adventure, is only the beginning of our journey to becoming the next-gen entertainment powerhouse.

What You’ll Do:

    We're a romance-focused content studio hiring an ongoing freelance Creative Strategist to ideate and cut short-form video ads (dialogue-style ads and longforms) for paid social. You'll work from existing episode footage to brainstorm angles, pick clips, write copy/hooks, and deliver cut-ready creative briefs or edits. This is a recurring hourly engagement — we're looking for someone who wants to plug into our team for the long haul, not a one-off project.
  • Watch episode footage and identify the selling point, hook, and cliffhanger moments
  • Build ad concepts: pick clips, write on-screen copy, select music, and map out the edit
  • Cut ads in Premiere (or hand off polished briefs with exact timestamps, copy, and song refs)
  • Iterate on winning ads — test hooks, songs, copy, and formats to push ROAS and CTR
  • Stay on top of romance trends across TikTok, Reels, and broader social + TV

What You'll Bring:

  • Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro — you can cut, not just brief
  • Native or fluent English — copy, hooks, and VO direction need to land
  • Genuinely loves the romance category — BookTok, romantasy, enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, forbidden love, etc. This is not a vibe you can fake
  • Strong pulse on social media trends (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts) AND TV/streaming (what's popular, what's trending, what audiences crave)

Skills Required

  • Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro (able to cut, not just brief)
  • Native or fluent English
  • Genuine passion for the romance genre (BookTok, romantasy, enemies-to-lovers, etc.)
  • Strong pulse on social media trends (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts) and TV/streaming
