Job Description

Aquent is thrilled to partner with a leading organization dedicated to impactful communication, seeking a visionary creative to join their team. This is a unique opportunity to magnify your impact by shaping a lasting legacy through compelling visual storytelling. If you are a conceptual powerhouse with a passion for bringing complex narratives to life through animation and motion graphics, your artistic genius is precisely what our client needs to inspire and engage a broad audience, leaving an indelible mark on thousands.

About The Opportunity

You will be at the heart of a transformative, high-profile, evergreen capstone video project. This 5 to 8-minute video is designed to be a cornerstone for graduation ceremonies for new recruits, serving as a centerpiece for graduates and their families for at least five years. This demands a visually stunning and timeless approach, leveraging high-impact visual storytelling, intricate motion graphics, and immersive 3D environments crafted from photographs and footage. The goal is to create an experience so engaging and visually rich that it captivates the audience and powerfully conveys the magnitude of joining this organization, distracting viewers from searching for individual faces on screen. This project calls for true artistic genius to distill the essence of the mission into a breathtaking visual narrative.

This is a part-time engagement, requiring approximately 20 hours per week for a duration of 4 weeks.

Your Impact

As a senior-level Conceptual Copywriter, you will be granted significant creative freedom to propose groundbreaking visual and narrative concepts. Your journey will begin with a virtual kickoff, followed by an essential 1-day on-site visit to a training facility during Week 1. Here, you’ll meet with instructors and key personnel, gathering insights that will spark visually engaging ideas. Working collaboratively with a dedicated design partner and project stakeholders, you will translate complex themes into powerful visual metaphors and descriptive script direction, crafting a narrative that resonates deeply and leaves a lasting impression on thousands of graduates and their families.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with a designer to develop scene-by-scene storyboards and detailed page descriptions, meticulously mapping out the visual journey, camera movements (e.g., 3D photo environments), and motion graphic treatments.
Formulate narrative voiceover copy that expertly balances a fast-paced, visually engaging open with a meaningful exploration of the training experience and the future mission of graduates.
Obtain sign-off from key stakeholders on the final AV script, ensuring alignment with project goals and vision.

Proven experience as a conceptual copywriter, ideally from ad agencies working with national brands.
Mandatory Portfolio Requirement: Candidates MUST submit portfolio samples that feature one or more AV scripts alongside the corresponding finished video pieces, showcasing concept execution using heavy motion graphics and animation.
Extensive expertise in writing for video execution, specifically with motion graphics, 3D animated environments, and graphic-heavy video productions.
Exceptional ability to translate complex themes into engaging visual metaphors and provide clear, descriptive script direction.
Willingness to travel for a 1-day on-site kickoff (travel expenses will be reimbursed).
Ability to obtain a standard visitor site access pass (no formal security clearance required). The client will manage the site visit application process.
