Role
Who you are
- You’ve got a sharp mind, a quick hand, and you're not afraid to push boundaries when the idea calls for it
- You live for that moment when a concept clicks and know how to turn it into campaigns that grab attention, whether it's on a billboard, in a digital ad, or across social
- You’ll thrive here if you move fast, think big, and enjoy building as you go. You’re comfortable with messy drafts, loose briefs, and tight feedback loops. You see the idea first, then find the right words to bring it to life
- We’re looking for a strategic thinker with creative instincts and a builder’s mindset. Someone who’s curious, self-directed, and always digging deeper into the product, the data, the customer story, searching for the next angle
- Concept first creative thinking with a strong grasp of campaign strategy and storytelling
- Fluency in AI tools and workflows for idea generation, drafting, and scaling creative output
- Strong copywriting skills across digital, print, OOH, and emerging ad formats
- Understanding of ad performance metrics and how to optimize messaging for engagement and conversion
- Ability to work at speed and iterate quickly in non linear, collaborative environments
- High creative standards with a proven ability to craft bold, memorable messaging
- Self directed research skills; can dig into customer insights, product features, and competitive context independently
- Excellent attention to detail; grammar, tone, and clarity are always on point
- Comfort with ambiguity and evolving direction; able to move forward without waiting for a perfect brief
- Ability to systematize voice and tone across platforms, teams, and tools
- Strong collaboration and communication skills; comfortable co creating in real time
- Tech savvy mindset with a natural curiosity for learning new platforms, tools, and creative technologies
- 3+ years in advertising or creative copywriting roles
- Strong portfolio of digital, print, and campaign-based work
- Comfort collaborating and co-creating in fast-paced environments
- Ability to adapt voice and tone depending on audience and context
- Exceptional grammar, spelling, and attention to detail
- Experience testing, optimizing, and iterating creative (e.g., A/B testing)
- Familiarity with AI platforms for ideation, drafting, or optimization is a major plus
What the job involves
- This is a full-time maternity leave contract position expected to last 12 months, with the possibility of extension
- Ting is on the hunt for a creative copywriter who knows how to cut through the noise and craft work people actually remember
- This isn’t just about clever words. We’re looking for someone who treats AI as a creative partner. You use it to brainstorm, test, iterate, and scale your ideas. You’ve got a voice, but you also know how to systematize it. You build tools and processes that help you deliver standout creative faster without losing originality
- Develop breakthrough ad copy across key formats:
- Out-of-home (billboards, posters, transit ads)
- Digital display and paid social
- Print campaigns and direct mail
- Microsites and landing pages
- Create supporting copy for:
- Social, blog, and email content tied to campaigns
- Customer storytelling and lifecycle messaging
- Collaborate closely with designers, campaign leads, and product marketers to align tone and messaging across all deliverables
- Leverage AI tools to:
- Rapidly test and evolve creative approaches
- Scale messaging across formats
- Build systems to standardize and elevate creative output
- Operate in real time: co-create, workshop, and refine without waiting for perfect inputs
- Use performance data to optimize and sharpen messaging
Our take
Tucows had dedicated itself, and its subsidiaries, to ensuring the internet stays open, accessible, and connected. The company is made up of three subsidiaries, Tucows Domains (the world’s second-largest domain registrar and reseller), Ting Internet (high-speed fiber internet provider), and Wavelo (telecom SaaS for CSPs).
Tucows’ technology supports hundreds of thousands of companies around the globe, as such, the company has seen substantial growth over the last few years, rapidly expanding operations into new markets in conjunction with the optimization and development of its award-winning services. The company announced a $40 million buyback program of its common stock which ran from February 2023 to February 2024. It hopes to see its growth continue to flourish over the coming years, and it seems well set to do so.
