• Collaborate with designers and art directors to create fully integrated campaigns
• Present work to internal teams and clients with confidence and clarity
• Take ownership of tone of voice development and brand storytelling for clients
• Stay ahead of trends in culture, media, and language to bring fresh thinking to every brief
• Juggle multiple projects while meeting deadlines and maintaining high standards

What we offer you:

• 23 days holiday plus all UK bank holidays
• Christmas shut down (Christmas eve until 2nd January)

• Regular agency socials
• A review every 6 months
• Annual pay review.

Requirements:

• 5+ years’ experience in a creative copywriting role, within an agency environment
• A portfolio that demonstrates strong conceptual thinking and crafted, impactful copy across a range of formats
• Proven experience leading creative campaigns from ideation through to delivery
• Excellent understanding of brand tone of voice and how to flex it across different audiences and platforms
• Exceptional storytelling skills and a knack for distilling complex ideas into clear, engaging narratives
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• A confident presenter, comfortable articulating your thinking to clients and colleagues alike
• Experience writing scripts for film.
