Copywriter

We have built something special at Three: an in-house agency that is re-energising the brand and is taking our marketing effort to new heights.

A strong creative in-house team is pivotal to this. We are seeking a talented Creative Copywriter to join our in-house agency and play a crucial role in developing and maintaining our brand identity. The ideal candidate is a wordsmith with a keen understanding of the telecom industry, who can craft engaging and persuasive content across various channels to help realise our creative ambitions for the brand.

As part of our in-house creative team, you'll have the opportunity to shape and amplify our brand voice, creating compelling content that resonates with our diverse audience.

This role will work within the wider agency creative team, reporting into a Senior Creative, and generating and developing ideas to the exacting standards of our Executive Creative Director.

Success will be an extension of the IHA’s remit over time, taking on higher profile briefs as we prove our capability to the business. The right candidate will be up for that challenge and will give as much love to digital retail promotions and always-on social content as to above the line advertising.
