THE ROLE

We Are Social is looking for a culture-hungry Senior Copywriter to join our growing team! You are a strategic creative leader responsible for crafting narratives that audiences will love while solving business challenges. You create campaigns, defend creative integrity and mentor junior talent. You are always on the forefront of culture which helps you deliver nuanced work that balances high-level brand vision with flawless execution across multiple workstreams.

WE ARE

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked)

Translate complex briefs into clear, actionable creative tasks, ensuring the team stays aligned with the client’s core objectives

Collaborate with internal team members by actively listening to and interpreting feedback, ensuring a cohesive and effective final product across all departments

Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously without a loss in quality or focus

Take an active role in mentoring junior and mid-level writers and providing constructive, feedback

Use AI to generate robust campaign concepts from scratch and explore innovative linguistic patterns that push the boundaries of traditional advertising

Leverage AI to generate diverse variations for A/B testing and to draft comprehensive long-form content, such as web pages or white papers

Master of agency wide project management and collaboration platforms to maintain high capacity workflows

Work collaboratively with a large team of creatives from ideation to execution, helping to ensure ideas are created and brought to life

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE
