The Role

As a Contract Creative Copywriter, you will be a hands-on writer and conceptual creative partner supporting the full Museum of Ice Cream marketing ecosystem.
Partnering closely with the Creative Director, designers and channel leads, you will turn clear briefs and audience insights into high-quality creative work, from campaign concepts and landing pages to performance ads, lifecycle marketing, social storytelling and onsite messaging.
You will help ensure that every piece of communication feels unmistakably Museum of Ice Cream: emotionally engaging, culturally aware, conversion-minded and creatively distinctive.
You will apply the established brand voice consistently, collaborate closely with creative and marketing partners and revise work quickly based on feedback, channel needs and performance learnings.
This contract role is ideal for a versatile mid-level writer who thrives in fast-moving environments, can move between conceptual and executional work and wants meaningful ownership of assigned projects for a growing consumer brand.
