Who We Are and What We Are About Drumroll is an engagement agency infatuated with the WHY. Our focus is on turning often overlooked moments into meaningful connections, in memorable and measurable ways. From removing internal barriers, to creating a holistic experience journey, to extending the relationship between a customer and a brand, we are designed to build BRAND LOVE. To deliver on that promise, we’ve built a team comprised of creative, problem solving experts. Around here, good ideas come from everywhere.

The Gig We are seeking a Senior Copywriter to join our talented team of creative seekers of truth. This person will work on an expanding list of premiere clients including a nuanced brand and financial industry leader with a very unique voice, look and feel. 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 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...badda-bing----you're this kind of creative. It will also be a key player in enabling the team to take on new, more innovative work with this client and grow this sizeable piece of business.

The Senior Copywriter reports to a Creative Director and ultimately the Executive Creative Director. This role will be responsible for mentoring junior writers in our growing agency.

Who You Are Outgoing. Energetic. Kind. Superb at time management. Focused and organized. Exceptional communicator. Humble; you thrive in a collegial 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.
  • 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.

This is a full time, on site position.
