21st Century Fox has flagged the Copywriter job as unavailable. Let’s keep looking.

Company Description

Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness is a creative agency operating in the health and wellness space. We work with people we believe in to make work the world can believe in, and we do this by combining the type of interrogative thinking you only find in a high science agency, with the type of brand magic you only find in a creative agency. It’s this unique point of difference that’s helped us achieve fame for both our clients and their brands in everything from aesthetics, supplements, and fertility, to endocrinology, dermatology, and oncology. And the cherry, if you’re looking for one, is that we’re part of Publicis Groupe. So working with us gets you access to all manner of interesting people with an almost limitless depth and breadth of skills and experience.

As an agency, we work with people we believe in to make work the world can believe in, combining scientific rigour with creative magic to help professionals in the health and wellness space achieve fame for their brands and themselves. That’s the what, but the how is guided by four defining principles – curious, creative, discerning, brave. These are the values we look for and nurture in others and ourselves, underpinning as they do a culture of collaborative entrepreneurialism that drives high-performance.

Job Description

We’re looking for someone who’s looking for something. Someone who sidesteps fallacies, skips over facades, pushes further, goes deeper, and surfaces with the unexpected in ways that others don’t. Someone who turns science into enchantment and data into desire. Someone who produces work that sounds like a writer has written it, not monkeyed by a monkey. We’re looking for those special people who find signals in the noise, and stories in the void.

  • Whenever opportunities arise, engage with clients to maximise selling opportunities, championing the Saatchi Wellness brand at all times
  • Foster good relationships with all internal departments and cross-functional teams
  • Proactively support your manager by suggesting new ideas and questioning thinking where appropriate

  • Excellent written English and attention to detail
  • In-depth knowledge of modern medicine and trends in pharmaceutical product use and development
  • Thorough understanding of how to read and interpret clinical trial data
