What is a Copywriter?

We are a small, fast-paced internal Creative Team who takes responsibility and ownership in creating high-caliber creative for a beloved brand.

You are a creative storyteller with experience in writing compelling creative copy. You are an outstanding writer who is comfortable with creating a large variety of content and eager to explore multiple options based on strategy.

You're a team player. You’re a great listener, open to feedback and able to take the creative vision and bring it to life. You’re low ego and don’t fall in love with your own ideas, and instead have a strong desire to push them. You require very little oversight and you rarely need someone to feed you the idea. You’re hungry to learn and always improve.

You write with energy and passion for your craft.You know grammar and style rules like the back of your hand, and you can spot a typo from a mile away, but your true passion is writing from the heart. You never settle for the cliché or mundane. You dig deep to create powerful and precise copy that is true to a brand’s voice and personality — copy that makes a connection, brings a smile, inspires an action. You have a unique ability to connect with a variety of audiences, not just because you understand the power of words, but because you understand people.

You think strategically. You recognize the importance of balancing creativity with customer and business needs. You delve into each project with curiosity, asking the right questions, completing exhaustive research and considering every possible point of view. Delivering amazing work that generates results and compels action is your target.

You are organized, methodical, and timely. You should be able to meet or exceed all creative expectations for deliverables. You can work within deadlines, briefs, and creative direction.

You’re an experienced and flexible talent and you have the hybrid skill sets to show for it, whether you’re writing for digital, print, social, or voice-overs. You understand the differences in tone needed for each channel and for each business objective.

You know what’s going on in the world. You understand that context is everything. You keep up with national and global conversations and have an innate sense of what concepts will resonate with a diverse audience. You appreciate pop culture, both past and present, have a great sense of humor, and have interesting perspective on a variety of topics.

You’re passionate about the movies and follow what’s going on in the entertainment industry on a regular basis. You can create lemonade out of lemons and you always do it with a smile and enthusiasm.
