Creative Copywriter & Scriptwriter
Visionary Media & Communication GroupAbout This Role
This role positions you as the central narrative strategist for a growing African media powerhouse, tasked with crafting stories that range from short advertisements to in-depth documentaries. It suits a writer who understands that commercial messaging and journalistic rigor are not opposites, but complementary forces in shaping public discourse. You will be expected to think beyond viral content and instead design campaigns that influence how Ethiopians see themselves and their nation.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The demand for 2-3 years of professional writing indicates the employer seeks someone who has already internalized the discipline of meeting deadlines and adapting tone for different formats. Rather than listing a degree, the emphasis is on practical experience, suggesting the company values portfolio strength and adaptability over academic credentials. The requirement implies you must demonstrate the ability to switch between persuasive advertising language and the factual precision of documentary scripting.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should showcase two distinct writing samples: one for a persuasive campaign (such as a TV commercial or social media ad) and one for a narrative-driven piece (such as a documentary script excerpt or long-form article). Emphasize your understanding of Ethiopian cultural context and how you can elevate local stories to a national stage. Employers will prioritize candidates who can prove they write not just to sell, but to inform and inspire.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a junior writer with 1-3 years of experience who thrives on variety and wants to work in a team that bridges commercial and journalistic storytelling. Competition is moderate but will favor candidates with a clear, distinctive voice and a portfolio that demonstrates both emotional resonance and factual accuracy.
