Associate Creative Director – Copywriter (Social)

Location: Knoxville, TN or NYC (On-site)

We’re working with a highly awarded, independent creative agency to help them find an Associate Creative Director – Copywriter (Social) to join their growing team.

This agency is behind some of the most buzzworthy campaigns online — blending sharp creative with smart strategy to deliver culture-shaping work. They’re looking for a social-native copywriter with a strong agency background, a killer portfolio, and the leadership skills to help guide and inspire a creative team.

Bonus if you're part of a proven copy/art team.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Collaborating with senior creative leadership to concept and execute breakthrough ideas across social, digital, and TV
• Developing creative that resonates — thumb-stopping, share-worthy, and award-worthy
• Owning projects from pitch to production
• Presenting work to clients and internal stakeholders with confidence and clarity
• Moving between big campaign thinking and daily social executions with ease
• Contributing to a positive, collaborative, high-performing creative culture

What You Bring:

• A standout portfolio showcasing work across social, digital, and TV
• 6+ years of agency experience, including creative team leadership or mentorship
• Deep knowledge of the evolving social landscape — platforms, trends, and tone
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and presentation skills
• The drive to lead with ideas, challenge the status quo, and deliver meaningful work
• Bonus: Awards are great, but a sharp, innovative mind matters more

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Join a nationally recognized independent agency producing culturally relevant, conversation-starting work
• Collaborate with a team of Cannes, One Show, and Effie-winning creatives
• Work with globally recognized brands in an environment that encourages bold thinking and experimentation

Benefits Include:

• Unlimited PTO
• Generous parental leave
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) with company match
• Dog-friendly offices
• Real opportunities for growth and promotion
