The role
This is an opportunity for a writer (or a strategist/editor/marketer/creative-type) who can turn a phrase, pack that phrase into a carry-on, and get it past TSA.
You’ll support your team in interpreting client needs, crafting thoughtful, effective messaging, and delivering compelling copy across a range of formats — from short-form video to display ads, social media promos to whitepapers, slide decks to public transit takeovers, and more.
This role reports to the Creative Director.

How to Apply/Candidate Journey
First, complete the application form linked below, and attach your CV, with the subject line: PDTM // Things are only impossible until they’re not. — along with a one-page sample of your writing in PDF format.
This sample can be virtually anything: a display ad, an article, or something with zero commercial value that you feel good about.
Candidates who fit the bill will be asked to fill out a questionnaire and do a short creative copywriting test.
Special advisory: We’re not afraid of AI at Pixel Dreams. Far from it. But we do have high expectations for how it is used. If we can tell (and believe we can), you shouldn’t be using it.
What is Pixel Dreams anyway?
We’re a small but thriving marketing and creative agency, continuing to grow our team with an epic purpose and equally epic clients. Many agencies pride themselves on their storytelling, but it’s genuinely baked into our DNA (ask about our children’s books).
We are innovative souls who create print, online, video, and event experiences, working with clients who love us (and we love them).
Our studios are in downtown Toronto (Queen St W), The Junction, North York (Yonge & Sheppard), and Hanoi, Vietnam (a bit of a commute).
Time and Place
We recognize that everyone’s life responsibilities are different, and accommodate a flexible working model.
However, we expect our successful candidates to maintain core business hours and be in our Downtown Toronto or North York workspaces 3 days a week.
Compensation
From $50,000 to $100,000, negotiable and relative to demonstrated capabilities and competencies. We also offer a full benefits package, generous vacation allocation and a positive working environment.
Opportunities
Boundless. How big will you dream? How high will you aim? How far will you go?
We are committed to finding individuals who are deeply interested in joining our team. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, our comprehensive form helps us identify serious candidates who truly seek a place to grow and thrive. Thank you for your understanding and interest in becoming a part of our team.
