It's a recognition we're honoured to hold as one of the best independent full-service advertising agencies in Canada.

We’re seeking an intermediate or senior Copywriter to join our crew, and we’re open to this being a remote position.

Copywriters are creative conceptors. Strategic thinkers. And empathetic wordsmiths. The best ones don’t simply write. They masterfully transform everyday, boring words into attention-grabbing, creatively emotive messages that disrupt routine—whether it’s a provocative campaign concept, 7-word headline on a billboard, poetic manifesto in a 30-second video, or 125-character Instagram post.

That’s precisely what Berlin is looking for.

• Create unexpected ideas and engaging copy through collaboration with Art Directors, Designers and Strategists.
• Explain your ideas and thinking to Berliners and clients.
• Juggle multiple projects with differing timelines across a wide range of media (including, but not limited to, video, social, print, outdoor, guerrilla, direct, digital, and radio).
• Craft a bespoke brand voice tailored to each unique client.
• Stay up-to-date on creativity in our industry.
• Experiment with generative AI.

• A portfolio of award-winning headlines and conceptual thinking.
• Over three years of advertising copywriting experience—ad agency preferred.
• Understanding of generative AI's role in the creative process.
• An eagerness to be pushed from good to great.
• A strong work ethic, positive attitude and low ego—not everything will go your way.
• A willingness to take ownership in organizing and maintaining creative files and assets.
• The hunger to conceptualize provocative ideas and emotive copy that other creatives will dog-ear in their Communication Arts Annual.

Berlin is an equal opportunity employer. We believe diversity in lived experience brings tremendous value to our team, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

This position will remain open until filled.
