Midweight copywriters are the powerhouse of the creative department. Prolific and exciting, taking every single brief by the horns and finding the opportunities in everything. Reporting into the Creative Director, and working with senior creatives, you will be responsible for putting powerful and effective creative ideas on the table every day.

The focus will be on The Coca-Cola Company, but you’ll also be expected to lean into pitches, proactive work, and bringing killer wildcard ideas to the table for Ogilvy clients around the world.

It’d be helpful if you have interest or experience in the CRM sector, though this is not 100% necessary, and we can quickly get you up to speed. 

You’ll probably have a background in direct and customer comms, and understand the power of owned channels to drive trust and truth.

At Ogilvy, we enable this bybreaking down the barriersthat restrict talent and ideas. Putting creativity at the heart of everything we do. Fuelling creative thinking with data.

Because impact, we believe, is created at the intersections.
