About us

Write Label is a technology platform for crowdsourcing high-quality short-form creative.

Our story

Write Label was founded in 2015 as a social network for comedy writers. After amassing tens of thousands of members and generating more than 3 million funny lines, we added a professional platform to allow people and businesses to access our brilliant writing talent pool. We now have thousands of creatives, both professionals and those training to become pros, who work tirelessly on behalf of our clients – media companies, agencies and brands – to develop high-quality, original creative content both quickly and cost-effectively.

Our democratized approach to crowdsourcing grants clients access to a diverse range of creators. We match your projects with writers who speak in your audience’s “voice,” so the message resonates.

Our creators

Write Label’s creative talent pool is second to none. We’ve worked for years to develop and nurture some of the best comedic and creative copywriters into the world’s largest writers’ room. Sourced from our proprietary comedy platform and the four corners of the world (wide web), we test, train, and nurture our talent pool so that they can deliver exemplary original content for our clients.
