About the Role

As a Senior Copywriter, you’ll conceptualize, write, pitch, and produce work with one of our largest technology clients spanning campaigns, experiential, landing pages to digital platforms, animation, videos, and tons of interactive experiences.
In this role, you’ll partner with art directors, account managers, creative directors, strategists, producers, and other creatives on a variety of deliverables. If you have a background in getting high-level and innovative concepts off the ground and into the world, you’ll love this role.

Responsibilities:

• Develop concepts and copy for anything you could possibly throw at an integrated campaign: from taglines and TVC scripts to concepts for experiential installations and digital activations.
• Presenting ideas and building client relationships is second nature to you.
• Oversee copy for all projects in production, working with the team to verbalize ideas, iron out concepts, solve creative issues through words, and nail the copy.
• Lead the copy conversation with clients; proactively respond to feedback in person and in writing; follow up with creative and account teams throughout the project.
• Creatively responsible for all key copy and campaign content.
• Ensure everything makes sense, is consistent, and meets the brand’s objectives.

About You

The essentials:

• Several years of Copywriting experience within Advertising and Marketing is required.
• 1+ years working and learning with AI tools
• You’re experienced in developing copy-based concepts with clever tag lines and other creative copy.
• You can craft amazing copy out of thin air, based on briefs, and from drafts written by others.
• You combine creative writing with critical thinking; your analytical approach enables you to ask the right questions and waterproof ideas from a conceptual perspective.
• A strong portfolio showcasing your work across multiple formats (Digital, Video, Social, B2C, B2B etc.) is required.
• You can always make a case for your copy, rationalizing your choices and considerations to win people over with your words.
• Experience crafting brand voice, tone, and style guides ensuring consistent language across multiple touchpoints.
• Your writing is clear and compelling at the same time: convincing without cheesy puns or esoteric language (the cognoscenti have no need for grandiloquence).
• You combine creativity with critical thinking; your analytical approach enables you to ask the right questions and make sense of content and sales strategies.
• You are an incredibly detail-oriented and organized person who never misses an Oxford comma.
• You adapt quickly and compromise with others without compromising our voice and integrity.
• You have a proven ability to tackle the same topic from a variety of angles and can produce alts for internal reviews and A/B tests like ABC.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal are a must.
• You’re comfortable working independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment. Our CDs can rely on you to run the creative parts of a pitch or project independently.
• You can communicate concepts clearly through mocks and decks when pitching work to stakeholders and directors.
• You’re comfortable jumping in and out at any stage of a project—from first ideas to final words—always delivering tight work, even under tight deadlines.
• You have a great sense of personal responsibility and eagerly go the extra mile if that’s what it takes to make good great.
