Job Summary

Lead high-impact copy and campaigns for big-budget, high-visibility brand work in Austin with a strong, culture-driven portfolio.

  • Must-have: A portfolio of culturally resonant campaigns that moved the needle.
  • Must-have: Several years of multi-domain experience (agency, brand, tech).
  • Standout: Willing to base in Austin and participate in an office-first setup.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Write show-stopping event, campaign, and ad copy that makes people feel something (and then click, if they wouldn’t mind).
  • Build campaigns that spark conversation, screenshots, and Slack DMs that say “did you see this?”
  • Take creative swings that blur the line between art and strategy. BUT STAY ON BRIEF FOR GOD’S SAKE.
  • Channel the audience (creators on Social who mean business!) and our brand voice at the same time. Write like us, but for them. Does that make sense? It should.
  • You’re writing for the big leagues: Millions in ad spend, Webby-winning content, brand activations at the world’s biggest events. PSAs for every stall in the Austin bathrooms.

Requirements

  • A portfolio stacked with campaigns that were culturally resonant and moved the needle (we use needles here).
  • Hopefully a combo of agency AND brand AND tech experience. Is that too much to ask for? Please at least check two boxes, but know that triple boxers have the edge.
  • The contact info of a few people who will swear by your work. We’re talking “I would not be alive today if not for their copywriting skills”.
  • Several years of experience doing all of this. My kid thinks ‘several’ means 6 to 9. Let’s go with that. In rare cases we’ll accept a mere handful years of experience.
  • Oh and you’ll also have to bring yourself to an office in Austin. If Austin is far away, you are willing to make it much closer. We can help this happen with a cunning use of money.

Benefits

  • 📚 Annual professional development reimbursement for conference tickets, online courses, and other relevant resources to help you grow.
  • 💙Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
  • 🪴 Hybrid work and generous leave options to prioritize your work-life balance.
  • 🍽️ In-office perks, including free meals and snacks.
  • 🤝 Company-funded sport activities, annual offsites and team-building events.
