Copywriter (Arabic) Job at AKQA (Beirut)

Job Responsibility

Lead with hunger, not hierarchy. Drive the creation of bold ideas across campaigns, products, and experiences with the tenacity of a maker and the mindset of an owner
from the spark to the shipped work
Write Arabic that lives in culture. Craft original Arabic copy across Modern Standard Arabic and regional dialects, with a deep understanding of tone, nuance, rhythm, and cultural context. Avoid translation thinking, create work that feels native from the start
Be a hands-on craft obsessive. Write, refine, rewrite, and elevate. Whether it’s a brand platform, a film script, a case film, a product story, or a social headline, your craft must push the work further every time
Bring cultural intelligence. Inject regional insights, behaviours, and tensions into the work. Understand what people care about, how they speak, and what will move them
Tell stories that travel. Shape narratives that work in film, social media, experience, product, and PR, and understand how storytelling behaves in the region, in culture, and in global markets
Think beyond the ad. Collaborate with strategists, technologists, designers and creatives to shape ideas that live as acts, innovations, prototypes, platforms and content ecosystems, not just campaigns
Bring energy that lifts the room. Embrace challenges, pressure, late pivots, and wild briefs as fuel. Be the person who raises the creative temperature and pushes peers to be braver
Create work that earns attention. Ideas should be culturally relevant, PR-able, and built to travel, grounded in insight, engineered for conversation, and designed to make brands part of culture
Operate like a modern creative. Comfortable switching between AI tools, emerging tech, social formats, product thinking, long-form storytelling, and classic craft to unlock new possibilities
Collaborate fearlessly. Work fluidly with multidisciplinary talent across AKQA’s global network, from Ryhad to Dubai to Denmark, bringing clarity, momentum, and a creative point of view
Present with conviction. Clearly articulate thinking and storytelling in internal reviews, client meetings, and pitch rooms, driving alignment, belief, and excitement around the work
Contribute to the culture. Share inspiration, mentor younger creatives, push experimentation, and help build a studio where ambition, curiosity, and relentless craft are the norm
