Job description

MONO is an advertising and branding agency formed to create magnetic brands that draw people in. We aim to create legendary work that works for our clients, within a working environment that is optimistic, collaborative, and team-based—because the best ideas come from people who love making them together.

Overview

MONO is seeking a Creative Writer—a hybrid talent with a knack for copywriting and a social-forward mindset. You think big, developing thoughtful, breakthrough ideas, and think small, supporting those ideas with equally strong executions across every platform. You're a writer who makes every word count, from captions and scripts to taglines and concepts, with a genuine interest in pop culture and what's resonating on social—and a portfolio that proves it.

Responsibilities

• Partner with art directors, designers, and strategists to concept organic and paid social campaigns, static posts, stories, video mocks, and traditional campaign work
• Adapt your writing style and tone to feel native to each platform—from a TikTok script to an Instagram caption to a YouTube Short
• Create and execute innovative ideas for our clients—from ideation and concepting to writing clear, persuasive, original copy, pitch decks, and client presentations
• When needed, pitch in on the production side, helping shoot or shape quick-turn social content alongside your copy
• Collaborate with Creative Leadership to translate brand objectives into concepts and copy, and share insights on platform and creator-culture trends
• Incorporate feedback from Creative Leadership, teammates, and clients with precision and a positive attitude

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of agency copywriting experience, ideally within an advertising or marketing agency
• Strong creative portfolio demonstrating both conceptual thinking and hands‑on social content execution
• Deep familiarity with social media platforms, trends, algorithms, and the unspoken rules of social media
• Understanding of how content supports brand building, campaign goals, and business objectives
• Strong presentation skills for internal creative reviews; self‑motivated, organized, and deadline‑driven
• Strong time management and the ability to multitask against tight deadlines
• A collaborative, curious, solution‑oriented mindset that embodies MONO's values

This is a locally‑based role, where relocation will be required for candidates living outside of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. We currently observe a hybrid work model. We work onsite every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for Work From MONO (WFM) days, in addition to moments that matter outside of those designated days, with the purpose of fostering agency connection and aiding collaboration. Some travel may be required.

Benefits

• flexible paid time off
• medical
• dental
• vision and well‑being benefits
• HSA
• FSAs
• pre-tax commuter benefits
• 401k with match
• upgraded parental leave policies
• Mid Summer’s Dream – an opportunity for everyone here at MONO to re‑charge, spend time with family, or just plain dream (and, in MN, July is the perfect time to be OOO).

MONO is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, and other protected status as required by law.
