Job Description

At Zerotrillion, we create advertising, entertainment and media that helps build strong global brands. We're looking for an English Copywriter Intern to join our Amsterdam studio. You’ll write across everything from global advertising campaigns and brand platforms to social content, films, headlines and manifestos. We’re looking for someone who understands that great copy and the right idea is the most powerful tool in your creative arsenal. You should have a strong instinct for brand tone of voice, know how to adapt your writing across different channels and audiences, and be as comfortable coming up with campaign lines as you are writing a social caption. Most importantly, you have ideas. This is a hands-on, in-studio internship working closely with our creative director, lead creative, designers, strategists, producers and production team throughout the creative process. AI is part of how we work. We’re interested in people who are curious about how new tools can make ideas bigger, faster or more unexpected. That could mean using AI to explore directions, interrogate a brief, prototype concepts or push beyond the obvious. We want people who know how to use the tools without letting the tools do the thinking for them. Responsibilities - Write copy for global advertising campaigns, branded content, social and original productions. - Develop campaign lines, headlines, scripts, social copy, manifestos and brand messaging. - Understand and develop distinct brand tones of voice. - Adapt your writing across formats, platforms, markets and audiences without losing the original creative idea. - Proofread and polish English-language copy across projects. Requirements - English as first language with an exceptional command of written language. - A strong instinct for headlines, ideas and concise writing. - Genuine interest in advertising, culture, social media, entertainment and ideas. - Curious, collaborative and open to feedback. - Comfortable working across multiple fast-moving projects. - Able to work full-time from our Amsterdam studio. We care about how you think and how you write. Personal projects, spec work, university work, side projects and ideas that never got made are all welcome in your portfolio. Nice to Have - Experience writing for social media or creating social-first ideas. - An interest in film, music, fashion, sport or culture. - Experience developing scripts, treatments or campaign concepts. - An understanding of how copy and design work together. - Experience with creative AI tools and an interest in how they can be used as part of the creative process. - Another language alongside English. What You'll Work On You’ll help create work for international brands across advertising, PR, entertainment and social media, alongside original Zerotrillion productions including documentaries, live music sessions, interviews and digital series. One day you might be finding a campaign line. The next you could be writing a film, developing a brand voice, shaping a manifesto or coming up with a social idea with a designer. Every project is different. Every word matters. About Zerotrillion Zerotrillion is an independent creative company with studios in Amsterdam, New York and Toronto. We partner with ambitious brands to create advertising, entertainment and media that earn attention through craft, originality and cultural relevance. We're building a team of people who care deeply about the quality of their work, thrive in a collaborative environment and want to make things they're genuinely proud of.
