About Ogilvy
Ogilvy was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. David created a culture that deeply respects and cares about its people and clients. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry. Ogilvy Health is the health division of Ogilvy – the most highly-awarded creative agency worldwide in 2021. Our health division is one of the largest global networks in healthcare communications and provides strategic, integrated communication solutions for our clients, including many of the biggest names in the pharmaceutical industry. Ogilvy Health UK is made up of healthcare communication specialists across the disciplines of medical education and communications; brain sciences; brand promotion; digital and social; strategic planning; public relations and creative/design. We believe we are like no other: we blaze new trails; we encourage a culture of creativity and innovation; we challenge, and we change; and we recognise and reward our team.
About the Role
We have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Promotional Copywriter to join our promotional writing team. You’ll have an excellent understanding of promotional healthcare communications strategies, with the ability to craft and deliver creative campaigns and materials based on scientific and strategic understanding, and an interpretation of product attributes and data. You’ll work across multiple key accounts in a writing team of c.5.
A key part of this role is ensuring the creativity and scientific integrity of content developed across a number of accounts and disciplines (i.e., healthcare advertising, PR, patient engagement, etc.). Being part of the wider WPP network means you will have access to some amazing resources and minds, and the opportunity to learn about subjects outside of the healthcare space.
We work on a hybrid basis with 2 days from the office and 2 from home or wherever suits you best.
What You’ll Need
- You’re a copywriter with solid experience in writing promotional content for healthcare (i.e., advertising materials directed at healthcare professionals)
- Previous experience within a medical or healthcare communications agency
- Experience working on commercial projects - sales rep materials, detail aids, leave behinds, messaging houses etc
- Keen understanding of promotional medical communications strategy, including integration of market and competitor insights into positioning, messaging and, ultimately, content development
- Willingness to work across project stages from creative conceptualisation and strategy through to material development and review
- Ability to deliver high-quality scientific content, review work of junior colleagues, and provide internal leadership of small editorial teams
- Confidence to lead scientific discussions with clients and external experts, face to face and on calls
- High attention to detail and ability to adapt to client’s compliance needs
- Strong presentation and storytelling skills
