Direct Response Copywriter Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT RYZE AGENCY

Ryze Agency is the fastest-growing interactive marketing agency in Florida, with a sister company Jekyll & Hyde in Detroit. We manage a growing portfolio of health, wellness, and consumer brands, and we have built AI-powered systems most agencies are still reading about. We are not cutting back, we are leaning in and hiring the best of the best. If you have intellectual curiosity, a strong IQ, and an independent drive to own your outcomes, you would be lucky to work here.

We do not do things because that is how it has always been done. We do what works and we do it better, faster, smarter.

THE ROLE

We’re not looking for a digital artist. We’re looking for a marketing creative—someone who designs with performance in mind from the first concept and can articulate exactly why every choice they made is going to move the needle for the client.

This role sits at the intersection of design, copywriting, and marketing strategy. You’ll own your work end-to-end: concepting, designing, writing the copy, and handing off assets that are ready to run. You understand where AI is taking this industry and you’re already positioning yourself ahead of it—not waiting to be told.

You’ll report to the Art Director and work closely with the Paid Media and Social teams. Your output spans ad creative, email headers, landing page graphics, organic social, and brand collateral across a diverse client portfolio. Volume is real. Standards are high. Both are non-negotiable.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Design performance-driven creative for paid ads (Meta, Google, YouTube), email, social, and landing pages across a growing portfolio of client brands
• Write or co-write ad copy, CTAs, headlines, and supporting body copy for your own creative—you own the full asset, not just the visual
• Brief yourself from a campaign strategy and translate it into creative without needing someone to hold your hand through every step
• Produce high volumes of creative at speed without sacrificing quality—you’re fast because you’re decisive, not because you’re cutting corners
• Participate in creative reviews and defend your choices with marketing rationale, not just aesthetic preference
• Iterate quickly on feedback—you don’t get precious about edits, you get them done
• Stay current on what’s performing across platforms and bring those insights into your work proactively

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of graphic design experience in a marketing or agency context—portfolio must include direct response and performance creative, not just brand work
• Demonstrated copywriting ability: you’ve written headlines, ad copy, or email subject lines and you know the difference between copy that sounds good and copy that converts
• Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign at minimum); motion or video editing a strong plus
• Genuine curiosity about how AI is reshaping creative production—you’re paying attention and thinking about what it means for your craft
• Understanding of what makes an ad perform: thumb-stop creative, hierarchy, CTA placement, platform specs, and audience psychology
• Ability to manage multiple projects and brand voices simultaneously without losing detail
• Exceptional time management—you hit deadlines, communicate proactively when you can’t, and don’t disappear into a project for days
• Experience in health, wellness, or DTC ecommerce creative is a strong plus

WHO YOU ARE

• A marketer who designs, not just a designer who works in marketing—you understand the business goal behind every asset you create
• Opinionated about performance: you have a point of view on why something will or won’t work, and you can back it up
• Efficient by nature—you produce great work fast because you’ve built smart habits, not because you rush
• Self-directed—you read a brief, ask the right clarifying questions once, and execute
• Comfortable with feedback and genuinely committed to making the work better
• Forward-thinking about where this industry is going and already positioning yourself to lead in it

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary based on experience
• On-site role in Fort Lauderdale, FL with medical, dental, vision, PTO, retirement, and more
• Portfolio-building work across a diverse range of brands and campaign types
• Direct collaboration with the Art Director, Paid Media, and Social teams—your work is seen and it matters
• A fast-moving, AI-forward culture that trusts you to do your job and rewards people who own their outcomes

TO APPLY

Submit your resume, a link to your portfolio, and two to three examples of performance creative you’ve produced (ads, emails, or landing pages). For each example, include a one- to two-sentence explanation of the marketing objective it was designed to achieve. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.
