Copywriter

If you work with us, you’ll never starve for opportunities to stretch your copywriting and strategic muscles. We’re not your typical agency—you won’t be pigeonholed, overlooked or forced to compete for interesting work. You WILL be challenged, asked your opinion, listened to, expected to solve problems and encouraged to take chances.

We’re looking for a writer who can do more than work off a creative brief or reword existing content. We need you to interpret what the client tells us and add your own communication expertise and magic to the solution,selecting the most relevant motivators and crafting a compelling, empathetic appeal.

Must haves:

Empathy
Flexibility
Collaborative spirit, since you’ll be working closely with designers, content owners and clients on all levels
Strong interpersonal skills, since you’ll get plenty of client face time
A real passion for creating engaging digital content
Experience with long- and short-form copy and everything in between
Tons of curiosity about what our clients and their audiences do
Experience in bringing unique brand voices to life
Willingness to live the Madison values of Listen, Excel, Stretch, Appreciate, and Include

You’re our favorite if you…

Write fresh, vivid copy that has personality and connects on an emotional level—no matter the topic
Simultaneously think conceptually, creatively, critically and strategically
Present and advocate for your ideas without arguing and without ego
Enjoy variety, from naming concepts and taglines to videos and emails to brochures and blog posts, you’ll be doing it all, for multiple clients—local, national, and global
Don’t wait for direction; we’re small enough and move fast enough that we need to trust our team
Make knowledgeable, imaginative suggestions for the overall creative solution and strategy (beyond writing)
Possess a lowkey obsession with social media. We’ll set you loose crafting quality posts for our internal brand, so we’ll trust you to be in tune with what’s cool and how to calendar it out.

Preferred experience:

2-5 years copywriting experience with an agency or brand
Bachelor’s degree in marketing, English, communications or other relevant field
Proficiency in Microsoft Office software as well as Slack and video meeting software. Familiarity with project management software (like Monday.com) is also recommended.
