The Role and What You’ll Do:

As a Sr. Copywriter, you will typically be partnered with an Art Director on various creative assignments. As the Copy part of the team, you have a passion for writing and keen understanding of the specific demands of both traditional and digital media (In short: Love words. Appreciate brevity). You get excited by not just making great work but by making great work that actually works. 

As a Sr. Copywriter, you will create the innovative and memorable cross-channel deliverables that continue to make our agency and our clients stand out and be talked about in the industry and around the proverbial water cooler. 

You also are a creative athlete, and create campaigns across a variety of platforms including developing TVCs, paid and organic social, digital, print, OOH and more.

In addition, Sr. Copywriters are responsible for brainstorming creative concepts with the team, developing original campaigns, and representing the copy perspective in client presentations. You express your ideas clearly not just through your writing, but face-to-face, zoom box-to-zoom box. 

You’re the kind of person who gets excited and inspired by making things. With fearless creativity, you roll up your sleeves and can deliver quality work in a time crunch and also mentor junior creatives.

You have a knack for storytelling and presenting ideas in a way that makes people fall in love. 

Additionally, you’re collaborative, organized, and accountable, giving proper attention to the details of your craft as well as bringing your teammates along in the process. Most of all, we’re looking for a genuinely good human being who we love working with.

While all creative staff reports to the Head of Creative, Sr. Copywriters report to ACDs or CDs on a project basis and ultimately to the VP/GCD of their group.

  • Stay consistently relevant and up-to-date on all marketing trends and culture in an effort to bring fresh ideas, sharing with peers and the broader team
  • Develop exceptional concepts for a wide range of advertising, including branding, TV, social, digital, print, OOH, and more 
  • Appraise and edit your own work
  • Work closely with project managers and account teams across the lifespan of a project

You Have These: 

  • 5-7 years of Copywriting experience within an ad agency or similar setting
  • Degree in English, liberal arts, marketing/communication or similar field
  • The ability to adapt to new ideas, processes, and business problems with ease and enthusiasm
  • A professional attitude and an openness to feedback that commands the respect of supervisors and colleagues
  • An appreciation for the relationship between copy and visual elements (and great design in general)
  • We expect our Sr. Copywriters to understand that a product isn’t truly great unless the copy and the design support each other
  • Eagle eye attention to detail
  • Cross-functional design and conceptual experience necessary 
  • A love of the data and results and the gamification of the creative to keep pushing for record-breaking results in a campaign
  • Strong work ethic
  • Digital portfolio of drool-worthy advertising design, campaign concepts, and relevant creative endeavors 
  • Ability to think strategically, conceptualize, and see ideas through to polished execution
