Copywriter

Location: Logan Circle, Washington, DC (hybrid: in the office Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, work from home Wednesdays and Fridays)

Type: Starting as a 3-month contract, with the intent to hire full-time if everything goes well.

We're looking for a concept-obsessed, strategically-minded mid-senior copywriter to join our team at THIS JANUARY. You'll help lead big ideas and bring them to life across brands from retail to airlines to CPG and more. Day-to-day deliverables will range from campaign territories and film scripts to social copy, and everything in between.

We're a small agency that's more interested in finding a person that's the right fit, rather than a person with the perfect resume. In general, the best candidate for us will have 3-8 years of experience writing in an agency or brand setting.

The right candidate will have agency experience as a conceptual copywriter.

• Has agency experience as a copywriter
• Has a portfolio that shows big brand platforms and executional/tactical work (OOH, TVC scripts, social)
• Can take a brief, find the real problem, and turn it into a handful of surprising territories
• Is as comfortable writing a manifesto as they are a subject line, CTA, or Tik Tok script
• Is confident presenting work - in the room, on Zoom, and in a deck - in a way that's as compelling as the work itself
• Can partner closely with design, strategy, and account teams to make the work sharper
• Are confident multi-tasking across multiple projects and clients
• Flourishes in a small team environment through both self-direction and co-working

• Are comfortable mentoring junior writers and giving clear, constructive feedback
• Have strategy chops or a passion for strategy-style thinking

• Concepting for campaign platforms, brand stories, and ideas across mediums
• Writing scripts for film, OLV, social, and radio
• Crafting copy for OOH, digital, social content, and experiential
• Helping shape brand voices and messaging frameworks across channels
• Building decks that tell a clear, compelling story around the work
• Partnering with strategy + account teams to tighten briefs and sell through ideas
• Helping guide junior talent and keeping the work bar high

• Join our goofy, fun 20-ish person team
• Help shape the creative bar and voice of the agency
• Grow - we are looking for the right person to invest in who can grow within our team
• Learn by doing, not being afraid to take initiative, step up, and figure something out
• Make a lot of fun, weird, cool things

• We have a killer, dog-friendly office on 14th Street/Logan Circle
• We work in-person at the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (we WFH Weds/Friday)
• We have healthcare and vacation days, it's all pretty standard
• One thing that's non-standard is we close the office for 3 weeks per year, so that we're 100% sure everyone gets a break
