The gist: We’re looking for a highly-strategic copywriter with a knack for testing, some experience in video-first ad creative, & familiarity with paid social and digital channels.

Our team is young, hungry, and scaling fast — and as a data-driven company, we’re big on numbers. If you’re looking to play a key role in building out our ground-floor creative machine — and learn more in a year than most do in five — you’ve come to the right place.

In addition to owning IC marketing copy tasks (from video scripts to influencer briefs and beyond), you’ll also work on video productions, help build out our talent pool of content creators, and aid in day-to-day project management tasks.

What you'll do:

• Write ad copy seen by millions of people.
• Concept, craft, & iterate upon messaging for video ads, SEO/SEM, static, & product copy
• Design & deploy A/B copy tests based on audience insights
• Work to understand test results and incorporate learnings into future iterations
• Ensure brand voice consistency across your projects.
• Provide excellent, thoughtful insight and feedback.
• Contribute to brainstorming sessions across many projects, not only your own.
• Become an expert in crafting clean, testable, & measurable copy across multiple user acquisition channels, from paid social to TV

What we're looking for:

• A tactical hustler with a knack for punchy copy & a scientific approach to creative development.
• 1-3 years of experience crafting marketing copy (Google Suite, project management platforms)
• You have a keen eye for empirical strategy, and can help create A/B tests and clean, measurable hypotheses behind the copy you write
• Empathetic. You take time to understand the audiences you write for—and speak directly to their needs and emotions.
• Analytical. You’re not afraid to dive into the data, using audience insights to help shape your copy.
• Collaborative. You’ll work side-by-side with designers, marketing managers, and more.
• Articulate. You can express the intentions behind your words and ideas.
• Open & hungry to learn. We’ve developed a proven strategy for high-performance creative—so an openness to learning how we do things is a must, coupled with a hunger to evolve, adapt, and build upon existing approaches.

Bonuses

• Video Production: A basic understanding of lighting subjects, and mirrorless video capturing
• Experience on a film set
• Proficiency in After Effects or other motion design/GFX/animation platforms
• Davinci Resolve and/or Lumetri Color
• Final Sound Mixing & Mastering Abilities
• Post Sound Design: music, foley, sfx
• Experience on an in-house creative team
• Prior experience in other marketing roles including: junior copywriter, content writer, content manager, screenwriter, social media marketing, creative project manager.
