WHO WE ARE:

FORE is a creative community and cultural platform born at the intersection of fashion, music, art, and grassroots energy. We champion underrepresented talent, run disruptive events, and build spaces - online and IRL - that put community first. From clothing drops to content to creative consultancy, we’re building a new ecosystem FORE the people, by the people.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We’re looking for a driven and creative Copywriter & Communications Lead to take ownership of all things words - from our blog to our brand voice, from email campaigns to community interviews. You’ll be the one defining how FORE sounds, helping us show up consistently across every channel, and crafting stories that connect.

This role also includes shaping our press and PR presence - writing press releases, helping us build relationships with journalists, and making sure people hear about what we’re doing and why it matters.

• Lead on content strategy, publishing schedule and tone
  
  

• Write editorials, artist spotlights, and behind-the-scenes pieces
  
  

• Conduct interviews with community members, collaborators and creatives
  
  

📣 Own our tone of voice

• Build and maintain a consistent tone across all platforms
  
  

• Help develop a copywriting style guide to share across the team
  
  

📬 Write across all brand comms

• Email newsletters, event recaps, drop announcements, captions, and campaign scripts
  
  

• Social copy that doesn’t sound like a robot wrote it
  
  

• Collaborate with the design, media and social teams for multi-format content
  
  

🗞️ Press & PR

• Write press releases and pitch decks
  
  

• Reach out to relevant publications, platforms and partners
  
  

• Help get FORE seen, heard and respected in the right circles
  
  

🧠 Community-facing presence

• Be active in the FORE community (online and at events)
  
  

• Spot stories worth telling and help community members shine
  
  

• Help build hype and clarity around what FORE stands for
  
  

WHO YOU ARE:

• A talented writer with a strong sense of voice and cultural awareness
  
  

• Passionate about storytelling, subculture, and making creative work accessible
  
  

• Someone who enjoys connecting with others — online and in real life
  
  

• Proactive, independent and reliable with your time
  
  

• Has experience writing long-form (blogs/interviews) and short-form (captions, taglines)
  
  

• Bonus: some PR, journalism, or editorial background
  
  

WORKING STRUCTURE:

This is a hybrid role and includes:

• 2x weekly online meetings (team-wide and 1:1 check-in with your line manager)
  
  

• 1 in-person workday most weeks, either at the FORE studio in Hackney Wick or a central location like Soho House
  
  

• Additional remote/independent work at your own pace, with weekly check-ins
  
  

WHAT YOU GET:

• Full creative ownership of your writing across our platforms
  
  

• Published and credited work you can proudly add to your portfolio
  
  

• Access to FORE events, studio space, merch, and behind-the-scenes opportunities
  
  

• Mentorship, references, and future paid opportunities as we grow
  
  

• A role in shaping the voice of a fast-growing grassroots brand
  
  

• Real-world experience across content, comms and brand storytelling
