About Public Outreach

Public Outreach is a full-service fundraising agency that connects causes and communities across Canada, the United States and the UK.

For over two decades, we've helped leading nonprofits build lasting donor relationships through ethical, data-informed fundraising and deeply human connection.

Our work spans face-to-face fundraising, telemarketing and digital fundraising. It's the integration of all three that sets us apart.

Our digital team sits at the centre of that work, building campaigns that drive acquisition, engagement and long-term donor value for some of the sector's most respected organizations.

Our team is collaborative, curious and genuinely invested in the causes we support. We bring together expertise across fundraising, digital and strategy, and we take the work seriously because the work matters.

If that sounds like the kind of place where you'd like to grow, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Digital Copywriter + Content Creator who leads with words and supports with visuals.

This role is primarily focused on crafting compelling copy across digital channels, including:

  • Digital ads
  • Email campaigns
  • Video scripts
  • Landing pages
  • Social and digital content

You'll also support light visual production in Canva to help bring that content to life.

You'll work closely with strategists, designers and account teams to develop campaign messaging that stops the scroll, inspires action and supports the fundraising goals of nonprofits and charities.

For more complex design work, you'll collaborate with other designers. Your role is to help ensure the content is cohesive, on-brand and ready to perform.

If you have a knack for tight hooks, audience-first storytelling and understanding how copy and visuals work together - and you enjoy experimenting with new ways to get a message across - we'd love to meet you.
