Senior Copywriter

The role

We are Social is seeking a Senior Copywriter to join our growing team! Senior Copywriters are a key element to the creative process, and work with a cross functional team to ideate, develop, and build effective campaigns across multiple mediums.

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.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

• We like to laugh, we live for celeb gossip and we’re great on AUX.
• Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more!
• You best believe we know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it’s how we learn). 
• From carbon offsets to community kitchens, we’re passionate about making a difference. 
• Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks. (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked.)

YOU ARE

• A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
• Not interested in just following trends – you want to create them
• A self-starter, who’ll take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro  

Traditional agency experience is not required, but it’s a plus. What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with social audiences. This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you’ll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and cultural moments. In return, you’ll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world’s leading brands. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Concept, write and create in partnership with different disciplines
• Understand the structure of a brand’s identity—how the visual and verbal executions come together to create a holistic brand experience
• Be responsible for sound, strategic thinking for integrated campaign work
• Be responsible for developing big and small projects- no task is too small, you like to get things done
• Recognize a client’s needs and articulate them into a creative concept
• Present effectively to clients and agency teams
• Be a creative spokesperson for projects to ensure that the creative integrity of the work stays intact
• Contribute to new business activities, help outline and write pitch decks
• Have a genuine interest in, and awareness of, the creative industry, including groundbreaking ideas, emerging technologies, and ways that WAS can experiment with them

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE

• 5+ years of agency experience & a portfolio of live & spec work
• A robust knowledge of advertising fundamentals, including brand development, strategy, storytelling, design, new/emerging platforms and technologies
• Achieved full command of the creative process- you know how to bring an idea along from a kernel to a campaign, and sell it to clients while staying on brief
