Copywriter

Job Description

PLEASE NOTE: This is a hybrid role requiring onsite collaboration an average of 3 days/week. You must be local to the Boston market and willing to commute into the office on a regular basis.

There’s no “day to day” in your job because every day is a new medium, a new message and a new chance to make brilliant creative, but here are a few things you can be expected to deliver consistently:

• A keen pulse on everything the Web has to offer (including, you know, the latest celebrity Twitter meltdown) so that we can always be fresh and current for our clients.
• An exuberant work ethic and exacting attention to detail, whether it’s punctuating your copy, answering a brief or staying true to the brand’s tone and style.
• A love of collaborating with your team members — creative directors, art directors, designers, coders and other equally talented eccentrics — to consistently deliver polished, award-worthy work.
• Cross-channel perfection: One concept, so many messaging mediums — you’ll be a master at making an idea translate effectively and flawlessly across all marketing assets.

Qualifications

We’re looking for a copywriter who is both exceptionally qualified and a delight to work with, which usually includes:

• A four-year degree (preferably in English, journalism or a related field) and 2-4 years of stellar work experience, preferably in an advertising or interactive agency.
• Energy, a sense of humor, and an open and curious mind (yes, these things really do matter).
• A love of words and a love of culture, both the good old stuff and the sizzling new pop stuff.
• Communication skills that leave no room for questions or angst — you’re straightforward, you’re candid and, above all, you’re thoughtful and kind.
• Versatile writing chops with strong experience on large cross-channel and/or direct-marketing initiatives across digital and print media, including social, web, mobile, and video (both broadcast and digital).
• A willingness to travel as needed (hey, new places, new faces, new ideas — right?).
• An innate curiosity with a desire to ask the big questions while also being willing to drop down in the weeds and do the work whether flashy or more routine.
• Experience working in or alongside regulated industries (like finance, healthcare, those sorts of things) a huge plus.
• Professionalism, maturity, and a distinct lack of ego.

Got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you.
