On-Call Copywriter - Energy

What is the single most important conversation for the human family today? Energy. Where we get the power for our homes, cars, devices, Ai, food – everything – is a critical concern that demands powerful thinking and talent to steer our way forward. This is where you come in.

ICF Next is an award-winning agency that partners with energy distributors in large key markets. In both the residential and business to business space, our clients depend on an authentic and robust communication with customers, stakeholders, legislators, activists and media around energy efficiency and service. Doing this right demands creative innovation, audience insight, powerful ideas, and teamwork. We need a pro, a visionary creative mind to engage audiences and drive results.

Work zero to 30 hours per week, depending on our overflow work and project needs.
Write copy for a wide range of media, including social, web, print, radio, and video.
Think strategically while developing ideas and concepts for projects and campaigns.
Make deadline. Seems obvious, but it’s kind of a thing here.
Work until it’s good. We support and encourage work/life balance, but at the end of the day we have to deliver a remarkable product.
Multitask. We’re a big studio, lots of people, lots of projects. You will have to know when to dive deep into the work and when to surface for everything else.
Develop concepts based on audience insight and strategy, and be able to articulate same
Develop a message platform, knowing the difference between that and “to market” copy

What we’re looking for:

Experience in using emerging Ai applications both in static and dynamic forms
Excellent organizational skills, with solid attention to detail.
Strong leadership skills. You’ll be stepping forward with a vision and need to inspire the account team, junior creative staff and of course, the client.
