Creative Copywriter

We’re MATTA, and we believe sport, fitness, and well-being matter. We believe they improve people’s lives, and make the world a better place.

We’re an independent creative agency specifically for sports, fitness, and well-being brands. Our campaigns have won multiple awards, we have been Agency of the Year several times over, and we are one of the fastest growing sports businesses in the country.

We build strategies, design brands, hatch big ideas, create advertising campaigns, and produce content. We’re based in London, but the majority of the work we do is global.

We are growing rapidly and looking for a talented, highly motivated midweight Copywriter, with an advertising agency background, to join our Creative Team - someone who is well on their way to being a creative force to be reckoned with.

You love the world of sport, fitness and wellbeing, and the challenge of creative communication through words is one that you relish. You are tuned into contemporary culture and can bring new perspectives, experiences, and cultural reference points to the world of sport. And you are ready to work hard, and to hone your craft further in a fast-paced but supportive environment.

You have cut your creative teeth within the advertising industry, and you have a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to develop and sell ideas to major brands in advertising, social media and video.

We particularly encourage applications from people who feel they are underrepresented in the industry. We hope to actively redress the balance, and contribute to the furthering of marginalised voices and diverse thinking.

Essential attributes:

Great with words
Passionate explorer of diverse cultural and creative reference points
Strong clarity of thought - able to seek and strike the heart of a brief
Significant previous experience in an advertising copywriting role within a creative agency
Imaginative and inquisitive
Takes feedback well and patiently gets stuck into rewrites
Supportive and enthusiastic
A love of sport, and a desire to exercise and hone your craft within the sport, fitness and wellbeing industry
A passion for campaigns and branding
Genuine eagerness to explore fresh ways to be creative
Strong collaborative and team working skills
A portfolio that demonstrates creativity and a desire to experiment and innovate
A great work ethic and a can-do attitude
The ability to thrive while working in a fast paced, high energy environment with daily deadlines

Our Values:

We take pride in all we do - doing what we say we will, when we say we will do it to the highest possible standard.

We work together - fostering great teamwork and a shared sense of achievement, treating others as we would want to be treated.

We are brave - never settling for good enough, we are innovative and always push for more.

We have drive - because we know you get out what you put in, and want to be your best.

We stay true - because we have a deep well of personal and professional integrity and instinctively know the right thing to do.

Whatever we do, we #makeitmatta.
