Ready to pitch in at a full service creative agency, working across the print, digital, and creative disciplines? These folks have tackled everything from multi-channel campaign creation, to complex site and app builds, to fashion shoots and retouching; they like a good challenge, and have the creative resources to meet demanding client needs.  This is an office where music is always playing, dogs are part of the culture, and excessive imagination is a must.

PLACED: Copywriter, Freelance, $45-60/hour

Award-winning, global advertising agency seeks freelance Copywriters with the ability to take strategy and long form content, as well as traditional marketing materials, and produce highly engaging, shareable, social content for multiple channels. Must be able to digest large amounts of information and produce leading edge “snackable” information to drive share and visits to a variety of social channels.

The ideal candidate has both traditional agency and digital agency experience, strong concepting skills, social media savvy and some work that shows comfort with technology and/or B2B and/or scientific material. The writer should also be organized when it comes to details/deadlines/process.  You must be well versed with the digital sphere and be able to make recommendations and craft stories that fill and work across each of the available channels as well as suggesting unexpected and novel approaches.

Speed, efficiency, and agility are a must for real-time content production. This is a highly collaborative position, both with the greater team and with a design partner. Sharing and expressing ideas, as well as clearly articulating them to the client is a must.  This group is faster than usual and has less hierarchy than other groups; the ability to play nicely with others is important for success.

On the hunt for a candidate who is proactive and has enough experience to work without close supervision, but not seeking a seasoned pro whose mindset is “Yeah, I’d be willing to do this for a bit” as a short term gig. A minimum of 3 years of digital agency experience (ideal candidate has 5-7 years).
