Freelance Copywriter

About Worktank: 

Founded in 2001, Worktank has spent the past 24 years bringing client stories to life. We have tens of thousands of live, virtual, and streamlining broadcast events under our belt, helping senior executives and business groups successfully connect around the world. 

Our team of experts - leaders in the live virtual event, production and broadcast spaces - develop and manage end-to-end broadcast experiences spanning executive engagement strategy and support, creative and content development, live video production and streaming, and virtual meeting support. 

We have a passion for creating custom solutions, but at Worktank, we think beyond technology. For us, it's about relationships. By leveraging the latest technology, Worktank lets clients focus on engaging with their audience - wherever they may be. 

We pride ourselves on our rigorous process and attention to detail. If we were brewers, our beers would win awards. Instead, we put together ridiculously good hybrid broadcasts and videos! 

Working at Worktank:

We are seeking an experienced, versatile Copywriter to craft scripts, messaging, and on-screen copy that bring client stories to life across video and live broadcast. 

In this position you will also: 

  • Write and refine scripts for corporate videos, executive presentations, and live or virtual broadcasts. 
  • Translate complex business topics and technical subject matter into clear, engaging language for a range of audiences. 
  • Collaborate with producers, directors, and clients to shape messaging that serves both the creative vision and the business goal. 
  • Develop supporting copy as needed, including teleprompter scripts, lower thirds, titles, show flow language, and promotional blurbs. 
  • Incorporate client and stakeholder feedback across multiple review rounds while keeping the writing sharp and on-brand. 

This opportunity might be a good fit if you… 

  • Have 3+ years of professional copywriting experience, ideally in corporate, brand, or broadcast contexts. 
  • Can point to writing samples that show range, clarity, and a strong ear for voice. 
  • Are comfortable writing to a brief, a deadline, and an executive audience.
  • Can take dense or technical material and make it sound natural when spoken aloud.
  • Communicate clearly and take feedback well without losing the thread of the writing.

Exceptional candidates also have… 

  • Experience writing specifically for video, broadcast, or live events (scripts meant to be spoken, not just read).
  • Familiarity with enterprise or tech-industry clients and their tone and terminology. 
  • A sense for how copy works alongside visuals, motion, and audio.
  • The ability to switch registers, from polished executive keynote to lighter, more conversational brand content.

What we have to offer:  

  • We offer freelance hourly compensation between $75.00 and $95.00 per hour based on qualifications.
  • Choose projects that align with your interests and skill set.
  • Set your own schedule around personal life or other commitments.
  • Work with diverse teams, directors, and clients, which broadens your creative range.

More Reasons to joi n Worktank: 

  • You will have a high degree of autonomy within a collaborative leadership team. 
  • We have a strong learning culture, and we hire for fulltime roles from within. 

We are an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
