About HGC Creations

HGC Creations is a St. Louis, Missouri-based media and marketing agency that produces short-form video content and ad creative for our clients. We run a tight pipeline from strategy to scripting to production to launch, and the script is where every winning ad is won or lost. Our standards are high, our work drives real results for clients, and we're looking for a writer who takes the craft as seriously as we do.

The Role

This is for a sharp, proven Script Writer who knows how to make paid ads convert. You'll turn client offers, briefs, and strategy notes into scripts built to stop the scroll and drive action across short-form social and paid social platforms. You'll write for a range of clients and industries, so range, judgment, and consistency matter as much as raw talent. This is project-based, paid-per-script work with steady, ongoing volume for the right person — someone who hits deadlines without sacrificing quality and treats every script like it has a number to hit. If you're looking to coast, this isn't it. If you're looking for a steady stream of work where good writing is noticed and rewarded, keep reading.

What You'll Do

Write short-form social media ad scripts (Reels, paid Meta/Instagram creative)
Adapt your voice and tone to fit different clients, offers, and audiences
Craft strong hooks, clear messaging, and direct calls to action
Work from briefs and strategy notes, and revise based on feedback
Hit deadlines consistently and manage multiple scripts at once

Requirements

Proven experience writing scripts for paid ads — this is a must. Show us work that ran and, ideally, that performed.
A degree in scriptwriting, screenwriting, film, marketing, communications, or a related field — OR extensive hands-on experience writing scripts
A real command of the mechanics of attention-grabbing scripts: how to open, hold interest, and drive action
A strong grasp of hooks, pacing, and what makes people stop scrolling
The range to write in different voices for different brands and audiences
Self-directed, organized, and genuinely dependable with deadlines
Open to feedback and able to iterate quickly without ego
Fluent in social platforms and current short-form trends

Direct-response or conversion copywriting background
