Who we are and what we are about

Drumroll is an engagement agency focused on turning often overlooked moments of a customer journey into meaningful connections, in memorable and measurable ways.

To deliver on that promise, we do things a little differently.

We don’t have dedicated strategists. Around here, good ideas come from everywhere. We collaborate, equally, with each other and our clients. We leave our egos at the door. We are always asking WHY? We treat The Beatles/Rolling Stones debate like a critical RFP.

The Gig

Drumroll is seeking a Junior Copywriter. 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 super strategic thinker, who is brilliant at crafting the way a brand connects through voice definition, social campaigns, event activations and digital campaigns.

If you are inspired by the particular challenges of brand building and engagement strategy with an emphasis on concepting...badda-bing----you're this kind of creative. Exposure to experiential marketing a major bonus.

As a Junior Copywriter, this role will participate in brainstorms, execute creative based on project briefs, present work internally and to our clients, revising direction based on analytics and feedback, then executing final deliverables—the usual. Projects can include digital advertising executions, email, website copy, presentation copy, press releases, research findings, agency POVs and more. Projects may be client based or internal agency projects. The copywriter reports directly to the Associate Creative Director, and ultimately the Executive Creative Director.

Who you are

Curious. Kind. Eloquent. Positive. Adaptable. Detail oriented. Superb at time management. You thrive in a collegial atmosphere where the intern’s ideas are given as much respect at the ECD’s. You aspire to be a key player in the success of a growing agency. The spirit of the entrepreneur is strong in you---you take ownership of your responsibilities to your team and projects; are equally proactive in office shananiganery, as hard-core problem solving. Your POVs could inspire nations. Your inter-office emails read like McSweeney’s internet tendency.
