Copywriter- Healthcare

New Posted 20 December 2023 | New York, NY | Weber Shandwick

We are seeking a talented Copywriter to join our team in New York. Healthcare creative is often seen as boring and conservative. We work every day to disrupt that theory. But it takes a special type of creative.

You’re someone who:

Loves to be challenged
Gets to the point – fast
Is a team player
Thinks outside the box
Is ready to raise their hand

What You Will Be Doing:

Crafting overall campaign messaging direction, maintaining consistency.
Writing short- and long-form copy, including concept manifestos, digital/social copy, video scripts, pitch documents and a range of campaign material.
Developing and adhering to multiple brand voices.
Collaborating with the greatest minds across the network.
Joining client meetings, brainstorms and planning sessions for ongoing projects.
Building and maintaining strong rapport with creative team colleagues, client leads and project managers.
Cultivating an inclusive culture as part of a team that values trust, honesty, and team accountability toward defined goals and results.

Basic Qualifications:

1-3 years of copywriting experience in a related agency, department or industry (advertising, digital, social media, publishing/content or public relations).
An interest in the healthcare/pharmaceutical space.
Must have a portfolio (share anything that conveys the way you think or approach assignments, even if it was never produced).
Be curious, self-motivated, hard-working, well-organized and resilient amid ever-changing timelines, requests and deliverables.
Ongoing drive to learn and incorporate new and emerging techniques, trends and philosophies in design, technology, interaction and social media.
Advanced knowledge of brand development, marketing/advertising and the creative process.

Additional Qualifications:

Knowing what makes for compelling work – be it on social platforms, in video, or in launch ideas that get talked about, reported on and pointed to by other agencies with an “I wish we’d thought to do that” envy.
Ability to effectively communicate through any medium (a script, a tweet, a pin, a manifesto, a speech).

One Last (Important) Thing:

Please share your portfolio when you apply. It doesn’t need to be fancy and it doesn’t need to have published work – we just want to see what you’ve done.
