WHY WE THINK YOU WILL LOVE THIS ROLE
Are you a dynamic writer? A designer of language? Are you a conceptual thinker who lives for discovering the witty phrase that sums it all up? If you relentlessly pursue big ideas and defy convention with every syllable, we should talk. Today, we’re looking at growing and strengthening our creative roster with a talented, conceptual creative Copywriter. As Copywriter, you’ll play a crucial role within our creative team — delivering exceptional creative solutions, crafting copy and words that motivate and inspire people across our entire portfolio of client work. We’re looking for a passionate, creative problem solver. To us, the Copywriter should have a knack for understanding consumer behaviors, cultural trends, and technology (people use every day) and how to best reach them where they are. When briefed, the Copywriter should have a partner mentality, working and collaborating closely with an Art Director or Designer in delivering compelling creative solutions. We’re looking for a “What-if” thinker. The Copywriter shouldn’t be held back by convention or norm but can push and think beyond the expected. The Copywriter should be eager to win awards as well as industry recognition for our team. And lastly, we’re looking for a Copywriter with a proven ability to confidently share and articulate their ideas to the team while providing insights and human truths that back up the work.
