Scriptwriter – Talking Head Videos | Mike and Matty

Koi Media builds YouTube channels for businesses and personal brands through our creative agency, alongside our own channels.

You turn approved ideas, interviews and outlines into compelling, accurate scripts that sound like the creator. We value copywriting fundamentals: audience insight, clear arguments and persuasive storytelling. You work with the Creative Director to deliver production-ready writing for our channels and clients, using our YouTube framework without losing human judgment.

Responsibilities

  • Understand the audience, title promise, creator voice and approved direction before writing.
  • Research audience questions and credible sources; verify names, numbers, quotes and material claims.
  • Extract specific stories and viewpoints from creator interviews rather than inventing their experience.
  • Build hooks that earn attention and deliver on the video’s packaging promise.
  • Turn approved outlines into clear act progression, proof, belief shifts and practical takeaways.
  • Write natural, read-aloud prose that explains complex topics without jargon or filler.
  • Adapt deliverables to the brief: full scripts or detailed filming outlines.
  • Keep sources beside relevant claims and flag missing evidence before review.
  • Use approved AI workflows thoughtfully; fact-check and improve their output yourself.
  • Apply consolidated feedback, fixing structural problems before polishing individual lines.
  • Provide useful visual cues so editors can communicate the idea accurately.
  • Keep draft links, revision status and deadlines current; escalate blockers early.
  • Review retention feedback with the team and apply lessons to subsequent scripts.
