This is a direct-response writer's role focused on the copy that does the persuasion work after the ad: advertorials, video sales letter (VSL) scripts, quizzes, and journeys. The role also contributes to customer-lifecycle copy (long-form sales emails, nurture flows, and re-engagement campaigns).</span></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This role reports into the VP Creative and will partner with Creative Leads (who concept and direct the upstream ad creative) and with Paid Social and Native Buyers (who direct the spend).
