Job Description

Creative Writer / Copywriter

TasknTrade Studio | Kathmandu, Nepal | Full-time

About TasknTrade Studio

TasknTrade Studio is building a new kind of advertising company.

We don't believe people wake up wanting to watch advertisements.

We believe advertising should compete with the content people actually choose to watch.

That's why we build creator-led campaigns, commercials, brand films, original content formats and entertainment that solve business problems while capturing attention.

If you've ever watched an advertisement and wondered, "Why was this so good?", this role might be for you.

About the Role

We are looking for a Creative Writer / Copywriter who enjoys turning business challenges into ideas that people remember.

This isn't a content writing job.

You won't spend your days writing SEO blogs or social media captions.

You'll work with our Studio Head and Creative Director to create advertising campaigns, commercials, branded content, creator-led campaigns and original entertainment formats.

Some days you'll brainstorm ten completely different campaign ideas.

Some days you'll rewrite a script minutes before filming.

Some days you'll spend hours understanding why people behave the way they do before writing a single line.

If that excites you, keep reading.

What You'll Do

Develop campaign ideas

• Turn business problems into creative campaigns.
• Develop multiple campaign territories for every brief.
• Present ideas internally.
• Improve ideas through collaboration and feedback.

Write scripts

Write scripts for:

• Commercials
• Brand films
• Creator campaigns
• YouTube videos
• Digital advertisements

Tell stories

You'll create:

• Characters
• Dialogue
• Hooks
• Emotional moments
• Humour
• Taglines
• Campaign lines
• Story structures

Our goal is to create advertising that feels like entertainment.

Adapt campaigns for creators

One campaign should become:

• Hero film
• Instagram Reel
• TikTok
• Creator collaboration
• Meme
• Behind-the-scenes content
• Community activation

You'll help make that happen.

Research

Great ideas don't appear from nowhere.

You'll research:

• Consumer behaviour
• Internet culture
• Competitor campaigns
• Human psychology
• Nepali culture
• Digital trends
• Creator formats
• Audience insights

Who We're Looking For

Your current job title doesn't matter.

You might currently be a:

• Copywriter
• Creative Writer
• Scriptwriter
• Screenwriter
• Content Writer
• Creative Strategist
• Writer-Director
• YouTube Writer
• Theatre Writer
• Independent Creator

We're interested in how you think—not what your LinkedIn headline says.

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

You constantly observe people.

You analyse advertisements for fun.

You think about why certain videos become memorable.

You enjoy storytelling.

You like writing dialogue.

You notice cultural behaviour.

You collect random ideas in your notes.

You believe there are always better ideas than the first one.

You enjoy collaboration.

You don't get attached to your first draft.

You like rewriting until it becomes better.

Skills We're Looking For

• Excellent writing in Nepali and English
• Strong storytelling ability
• Scriptwriting
• Campaign ideation

• Advertising
• Film
• Theatre
• Digital media
• Comedy
• YouTube
• Creator economy
• Brand campaigns
• Short films
• Podcasts

Experience with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT is a plus, but we value your thinking more than your prompting skills.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first few months, you'll be contributing to live campaigns for real brands.

You'll be expected to:

• Generate multiple campaign ideas from a brief.
• Write strong scripts.
• Work with creators.
• Collaborate with production.
• Help build campaigns that people genuinely enjoy watching.

This Role Is NOT For You If...

• You only enjoy writing SEO blogs.
• You only want to write captions.
• You don't like rewriting.
• You dislike collaboration.
• You struggle to accept feedback.
• You prefer repetitive work over creative problem-solving.

Why Join TasknTrade Studio?

You'll help build a company from the ground up.

You'll work directly with the creative leadership team.

You'll have the opportunity to influence the creative direction of campaigns from idea to execution.

You'll work across advertising, creators, storytelling and original content.

Most importantly, your ideas won't stay inside a document.

They'll become real campaigns seen by thousands—or even millions—of people.

How to Apply

Please send us:

• Your CV or LinkedIn profile
• Portfolio (if available)
• Scripts, campaigns or personal creative work
• Anything that shows how you think

Personal projects are welcome.

A polished portfolio isn't mandatory.

We're interested in people with original thinking, curiosity and strong storytelling ability.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a paid creative assignment before the final interview.

If you're excited about building advertising people actually choose to watch, we'd love to hear from you.
