Join to apply for the Associate Creative Director, Copy role at Assembly Media, Inc

Assembly is an integrated agency providing purpose-built communications to Microsoft – bringing strategy, creative, research, social and digital, and influencer marketing together to drive tangible business results and advance Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more.

Assembly Media, part of the Daniel J. Edelman (DJE) family of companies, is seeking an Associate Creative Director, copywriter to join our fast-growing team. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the creative voice behind one of the world’s most iconic tech brands—Microsoft.

At Assembly, we bring Microsoft’s mission to life: to empower every person on the planet to achieve more. We don’t just communicate features—we uncover cultural tensions, translate product stories into human experiences, and build earned-first creative work that lives in social feeds and beyond. This is the right role for a creative storyteller with a sharp cultural radar and a deep love for digital and social. If you’ve ever thought “that TikTok trend could’ve been ours” or “this idea deserves more than a :15 ad,” we want to hear from you. In this role, you’ll create groundbreaking, social first campaigns on one of the world’s greatest tech brands.

Who You Are

A culturally fluent, digitally native writer with a point of view and a passion for smart, witty, surprising content.

A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment and works quickly without compromising craft.

A storyteller who’s just as comfortable concepting a TikTok series as drafting an executive voiceover or naming a product feature.

A thoughtful, detail-oriented writer who can flex across tone, voice, and platform.

At Edelman and Assembly, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and are committed to fostering a workplace where creativity, equity, and inclusion thrive. If this sounds like the kind of work—and the kind of team—you’ve been looking for, we’d love to connect.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with art direction and creative leadership to concept, write, and deliver compelling work across social, digital, video, and experiential channels.
• Create campaign ideas and content that are earned-first, social-by-design, and tuned into culture.
• Collaborate with strategy, influencer, account, and production teams to bring ideas to life at speed and scale.
• Help shape creative responses for new business and ongoing client campaigns.
• Present creative concepts and content directly to clients with confidence and clarity.
• Guide and mentor other writers and creatives as needed while managing multiple projects.
  
  
  

Basic Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience in marketing, advertising, or social media, with a strong focus on interactive media.
• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in English, Communications, Journalism, or a related field.
  
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong portfolio showcasing conceptual copy, creative campaigns, and content across social and digital, preferably with Tech clients.
• Experience presenting directly to clients and collaborating across multi-disciplinary teams.
• Familiarity with influencer engagement and community-driven storytelling.
• Experience managing feedback and changes in a fast-paced environment with a team-oriented spirit.
• Passion for tech, pop culture, and pushing creative boundaries on behalf of brands.
