If you’re looking for an opportunity to have more fun while having more of an impact on more client businesses, this could be the freelance (or permanent!) role for you. Our Copywriter is a highly reliable, go-to member of the creative team…actively collaborating with account leads and art directors in creating strategic marketing communications of all kinds. From supercars to senior living, luxury appliances to health care and performance tires…you’ll be doing it all. Brand concepts, email campaigns, collateral copy, websites and landing pages, video scripts…you name it. APPLICANT TIP: If you already have automotive experience, that’s a big plus in our book. In addition to crafting highly impactful and effective copy, the Copywriter also comes up with smart, insight-driven ad and campaign concepts, manages/reviews the work of interns, proofs work on the way out the door, supports the account team on client calls and in presentations when required, and demonstrates a willingness to engage in constructive debate about creative ideas and how to best address a client’s challenge. If you’re tired of phoning in the same old copy assignments day after day and want to challenge yourself in a fast-paced and fun environment where hard work and initiative are rewarded, show us what you got and let’s connect!
