Senior Creative Writer — Brand Story Development
We’re FRENETK, an online art gallery developing a story to shape our brand voice. Our nonprofit arm (Earthtopian dot org) supports 13 initiatives benefiting Los Angeles organizations (ReBuild LA/Habitat for Humanity, TeamPalisades, LA Regional Food Bank, Homeboy Industries) and global partners (World Central Kitchen, Doctors Without Borders, Charity: Water, etc.). Our story centers on a social‑justice lawyer who also happens to be…a monkey. He champions the marginalized, defends the wrongly accused, and works to make the world a better place. We have the basic premise and some character development outlined. This is a collaborative, high‑concept project that tackles social unrest, combats inequality, and addresses climate change—strap in.

Commitment & compensation

• Current availability.
• 3 portfolio samples (character‑driven fiction, scripts, or brand storytelling preferred).
Notes
