TL;DR

We’re looking for a scriptwriter + storyteller who wants to own the creative engine of a fast-growing brand. If you can imagine a scene, write it down, and then guide a team to make it real — all while keeping it direct-response oriented to drive sales — we want you.

Our Core Values

  • Results Oriented – you own the outcome. You fix what’s broken and go beyond your role to get results.
  • Urgency with Focus – we move fast, and stay focused on what matters.
  • Best in Class – we hold ourselves to high standards in everything we do.
  • Customer-Obsessed – our north star is the customer.

About Sidekick

Sidekick is on a mission to make injury relief accessible to everyone. Our award-winning physical therapy tools are trusted by Olympic medalists, pro athletes, and weekend warriors alike, and have been featured in outlets like Men’s Health, Running Magazine, and Ultrarunning Magazine.

We’ve grown rapidly and are now looking for an Ad Creative (Scriptwriter / Storyteller) — officially titled Creative Strategist — to level up our performance ads. You’ll be the brain behind our most memorable campaigns, turning insights and product benefits into scripts, skits, and stories that people can’t scroll past.

What We’re Looking For

We don’t just need another copywriter or designer. We need someone who:

  • Thinks in visuals and stories, not just headlines
  • Can dream up wild, thumb-stopping ad concepts (think skits, parodies, cultural hooks, mini-films)
  • Knows how to turn ideas into scripts and then guide creators, editors, and shoots to bring them to life
  • Can balance bold creative ideas with direct-response performance ads that drive conversions on Meta

Main Responsibilities

  • Lead Sidekick’s ad creative, from big-swing ideas to production-ready scripts
  • Write scripts and storyboards that translate customer insights into scroll-stopping concepts
  • Direct and collaborate with creators, editors, and designers — on set and in post-production
  • Direct sets during shoots to ensure final ads match the creative vision
  • Source and brief creators and influencers for UGC-style content

Success in 6 Months

  • You’ve delivered at least 5 breakout ad campaigns that feel fresh, different, and high-performing
  • You’ve raised the creative bar, bringing bold ideas and new angles beyond standard problem/solution ads
  • Your work is directly fueling customer acquisition and revenue growth

About You

  • A portfolio that shows scriptwriting, storytelling, and original ad concepts (not just iterations)
  • Understands direct response marketing and can balance performance-driven principles with bold, fresh, and memorable creative that still sells product.
  • Proven experience creating performance ads for DTC eCommerce (Meta expertise required)
  • Strong visual thinker who can turn strategy into shots, scenes, and scripts
  • Confident giving creative direction — comfortable on set, in edits, and with creators
  • Excellent communicator with a knack for storytelling and selling ideas

Why Join Sidekick?

  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonus (earnings tied to real results)
  • Health benefits
  • Clear growth path with the opportunity to grow into a creative director
  • Collaborate with Olympic athletes, world champions, and leaders in fitness
  • High-impact work — your ads will be the engine behind Sidekick’s growth
  • Hybrid flexibility with WFH days
