Contract Copywriter
Directive Consulting is the performance marketing agency for SaaS companies. We use Customer Generation (a marketing methodology developed by us) which focuses on SQLs and Customers instead of traditional metrics like MQLs. We offer Paid Media, SEO, Performance Creative and Design, Video, Revenue Operations, and Strategy services to our clients by creating comprehensive digital marketing strategies that allow our clients to hit their SQL targets, every time.
We’ve experienced hyper-growth over the last year and have remained true to our culture of, the best idea wins. We’re future-focused and are looking for others with a growth mindset to join our evolving teams!
Being a contract Copywriter at Directive is an invitation into our two biggest growth departments — Video and Creative Services. This is an incredible opportunity to flex your creative muscle, working directly with our designers, SEO specialists, paid media specialists, and others to create truly collaborative, data-inspired content for websites, landing pages, paid ads, videos, and more.
On any given day at Directive, you'll be interacting directly with clients, designers, parallel team members and writing smart conceptual scripts that engage audiences and drive leads. You’ll also be heavily involved with our team of designers, leading headline and copy approaches for high-converting landing pages, website copy, and working collaboratively with our paid media team to write punchy, benefit-driven digital ads that get results. Projects will vary based on client and internal needs and can include branding copy, boilerplate language, blog posts, and more.
Directive’s Customer-Led marketing approach is about engaging customers emotionally. Or to put it simply, this is B2B that works like B2C, where big ideas matter and well-written headlines come with bragging rights.
Our ideal candidate is a great conceptual thinker with a knack for making clients say, “Why didn’t we think of that?” You easily distill complex product benefits into simple, emotionally-driven pieces of communication. You understand a landing page without a personality is unengaging, and crafting a story with emotion will yield better results
