Senior Copywriter

Conceptual as well as rigorous, you’ll need a few years under your belt, with a keen understanding of contemporary social channels. The day-to-day includes a wide variety of briefs featuring all kinds of writing: from headlines to long copy, light-hearted to legal, subject lines to social, quickfire tactical to award-winning wit. Yep, you need it all.

It’s a close-knit, friendly, dedicated team and you’ll be able to bring your work to life with the help of our top-notch art directors.

• Work with an art director or designer to create fully-formed concepts, on brief and on time
• Work with client services to put these concepts into presentation decks, including setting up the idea with a rationale that helps sell the work in
• Present ideas to clients wherever possible, creating an engaging presentation and being ready to answer questions when called upon
• Relish the challenge of writing compelling longer copy for online content
• Love getting stuck into a pitch (and not mind burning a bit of midnight oil along the way)
• Manage multiple projects at any one time, recording your time accurately as you go
• Liaise with external suppliers like production companies
• Brief freelancers on copy projects, giving quick introductions to client TOV where necessary
• Be happy being based in our office in either Leeds or Sheffield (whatever suits you)
• Win some awards
