The Gig

We are seeking Freelance Copywriter(s) to join our bench of talented team of creative seekers of truth. This person will work on an expanding list of premiere, fortune 500 clients. The role requires all of the standard Copywriter-y responsibilities---you will be expected to develop and execute concepts based on project briefs, present concepts to clients, revise direction and execute the final concept. It also requires a strategic thinker, who is brilliant at crafting the way a brand connects through voice definition, CRM and email marketing, and digital campaigns in a B2b and B2C capacity.  If you are chasing the next Superbowl ad campaign, this may not be your bag.  If you are inspired by the particular challenges of brand building and engagement strategy with an emphasis on concepting.,,,,you're this kind of creative.  The Copywriter reports to a Creative Director and ultimately the Executive Creative Director.

Who You Are

Outgoing. Energetic. Kind. Superb at time management. Focused and organized. Exceptional communicator. Humble; you thrive in a supportive and egoless atmosphere where the intern’s ideas are given as much respect at the ECD’s. You aspire to concept and execute industry-leading creative work. You like deep diving into a project. The spirit of the entrepreneur is strong in you---you take ownership of your team and projects; are equally proactive in directing as you are in executing. You want to play an active role in growing a major account.  You are an enthusiastic mentor to more junior creatives, who knows how to lead by direction. You don’t necessarily like Fellini’s work, but you get it.

What You Gotta Know

• 5+ years of copywriting concept and execution experience required.
• 3- 5 years experience with campaign work and advertising headline writing
• Strong understanding of Web technologies (as they relate to creative concept development)
• Adaptable, responsive style and ethic---this account is every changing and rigidity will get you nowhere.
• Dynamic, innovative and business-savvy
• You know when to be professional and when to lead an impassioned, PowerPoint presentation in the open office or on MS Teams on the subject of when it is, and isn’t, appropriate for men to wear sandals.
• Completion of a bachelors, portfolio or masters program in relevant field, or gobs of applicable work experience.

This is position can be remote to start, but Post-Covid will be an Austin-Based role.

Extra cool if you

• Conceptual and campaign experience at an agency is preferred
• Have traditional writing or experiential creative leadership experience
• Have prior experience with national brands (this is strongly preferred), especially in regulated categories.
