About Us

Mint Source is a remote-first bridge that connects vibrant talent with international clients and agencies, enabling skilled individuals to showcase their expertise on a global stage.

Role Overview

Mint Source is hiring a Direct Response Copywriter to join a performance creative agency that produces high-volume static ads in-house for DTC and e-commerce brands on Meta. This is a copy-first seat inside the agency's creative strategy team. You'll research brands and their customers, find the angles that aren't obvious, and write the headlines that drive the static ads the agency ships every day. As you settle in, you'll take on more of the strategy side: personas, messaging strategies, and creative forecasts for the accounts you write for. A full creative team executes on your briefs, and you're shielded from client communication so you can focus entirely on the work.

What You'll Do

• Write pattern-interrupting headlines for static ads across multiple brands, making it immediately clear what the product is and why it matters
• Produce multiple headline variations on a single angle, each with a distinct voice and structure
• Research customer insights across reviews, Reddit, competitor ads, and real customer language to surface angles that aren't obvious
• Use the Meta Ad Library to reverse-engineer competitor creative and catch emerging patterns
• Turn research into clear briefs, covering angles, headlines, and visual direction for the in-house design team
• Read performance data from live ads to see what's working, what's fatiguing, and where the creative gaps are, then push into new angles and formats
• Grow into the strategy layer: research-backed personas, messaging strategies, and creative forecasts that map which angles to test next
• Use AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT daily for research, persona building, and workflow acceleration

What We're Looking For

• Proven direct response copywriting experience in DTC/e-commerce. Long-form VSLs, sales emails, sales pages, ad scripts, or static ad copy all count. You understand avatars, awareness levels, and audience sophistication, and you know what makes copy convert
• A repeatable research methodology you can walk through end to end. You dig into real customer language, reviews, and competitor ads rather than guessing, and you know how research becomes copy that performs. "I look at competitors" isn't a methodology
• Scroll-stopping writing that favors clarity over cleverness, with ten variations on one angle that never sound alike
• The ability to articulate why an angle will work before it's tested. You don't just have instinct, you can explain the reasoning behind it
• Excellent written & spoken English. Your headlines go straight into live ads, with no rewrite in between
• A portfolio or work samples that show strong copy and research-driven thinking
• Fluency with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) for research and workflow. This team is heavily AI-integrated
• Comfort managing multiple accounts simultaneously in a fast-paced, high-volume creative environment
• A plus: experience building personas, messaging strategies, or creative briefs for a design team
• Also a plus: hands-on performance analysis in Meta Ads Manager with accountability to acquisition KPIs (CPA, ROAS)

Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)

• Winning ads: the share of your angles and headlines that go on to take spend in the ad account
• Quality and consistency of copy and briefs, measured by the percentage that moves to production without major revision
• Creative variety across campaigns, ensuring angles and messaging don't go repetitive
• Speed of iteration: how quickly performance data from live ads turns into new angles and refreshed copy
• 30/60/90-day ramp: by day 30, fully onboarded into the research and briefing workflow with supervised output; by day 60, independently producing headline batches and briefs with minimal revision; by day 90, consistently shipping copy that produces winning ads across your accounts and building personas and messaging strategies on your own

What You Get

• A high-ownership copy seat with competitive compensation discussed individually based on experience
• A fully remote setup working with a North America-based creative team
• Constant creative workshops, deep AI integration, and a clear path into creative strategy
• Clear KPIs and structured feedback loops so you always know where you stand
• Back-office support from Mint Source for payroll, onboarding, and HR
