About Us

We're a a group of performance marketing agencies that's all about results, helping businesses grow their online presence, attract quality leads, and get the most out of every marketing dollar. Our team is young, ambitious, and based in the stunning city of Lisbon. We are 40+ people who are dynamic, solution-oriented, and ambitious, using AI to streamline how we work. We’re looking for like-minded people to join us!

Video is at the heart of how we advertise, and we're looking for someone who can make it land.


The Role

We're looking for a Video Ad Scriptwriter: a creative, hands-on scriptwriter for video ads. This is a purely creative role: no media buying, no performance analysis required. What matters is your ability to watch a video ad, spot what's missing, and come up with sharp new hooks, frames, and angles. And, then write the script that brings that idea to life.

You'll work closely with our creative and video teams across different agencies, writing scripts that feel natural, punchy, and human: never generic, never robotic, even when AI is part of your process.

What You'll Own

  • Watching our existing video ads and proposing new hooks, frames, and angles to test

  • Writing scripts for video ads: sharp, conversational, built to grab attention in the first seconds

  • Bringing a human voice to every script, whether you start from scratch or refine an AI-generated draft

  • Working closely with editors and creators so scripts translate well on screen

  • Staying on top of what's working in short-form video and ad formats (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts)

What We're Looking For

  • A genuinely creative mind: ideas come naturally, you don't need a detailed brief to think of something interesting

  • Strong scriptwriting and copywriting skills: sharp, natural, persuasive

  • Comfortable using AI tools as part of your process, but with sharp enough instincts to make sure the final result never feels AI-generated

  • A trained eye for video: you can watch an ad and immediately see what could hook better

  • Fluent in Portuguese and English

Why Join Us

  • Competitive salary with performance bonuses that genuinely reward results

  • Solid training and ongoing learning opportunities to keep you sharp

  • Flexible hybrid setup: 2 days in our Lisbon office, 3 days from wherever you work best

  • A startup vibe where your voice matters and your ideas get heard

Sounds like you?

If this feels like you, don't just tell us: show us. Share your portfolio, past scripts, or examples of work you're proud of when you apply!
