About this role
OLIVER SEAPAC is seeking an Associate Creative Director – Copy to lead campaign strategy and execution across social, ecommerce, and digital channels for a roster of international and national brands. The role sits at the intersection of creative strategy, copywriting, and storytelling, requiring someone who can conceptualize campaigns that move beyond briefs and deliver measurable results. You'll own everything from short and long-form copy to video scripts and content repurposing, while staying attuned to trending topics and social behavior to identify fresh opportunities.
The position demands at least six years of copywriting experience at top-tier agencies with a strong digital track record, including pan-India large-scale campaigns and prior television spot writing. You'll need deep fluency across social platforms, the ability to translate complex material into resonant narratives for Gen Z and Millennials, and comfort working across multiple mediums. Beyond writing, you'll collaborate closely with internal teams, analytics, and cross-functional stakeholders to set creative tone, drive excellence, and ensure integrated thinking—all while working in a fast-paced, evolving client environment with minimal supervision.
This is an in-office role in Mumbai suited to a self-motivated, ambitious writer who combines strong storytelling instincts with analytical rigor around social insights and performance. Familiarity with AI tools and a genuine curiosity about emerging technology are valued, though the ability to learn and apply new tools matters more than prior expertise.
