Responsibilities:

• Copywriting across multiple accounts that sit under one client
• Concepting and brainstorming
• Leveraging AI for copy and concepting as much as possible

• Experience identifying emerging trends, specific to copy, memes, gaming, music, culture, and everything in between, with an eye for translating these worlds for brands.
• Deep knowledge of the internet, YouTube content, and online creators.
• Experience in copy editing, with the ability to proofread and rewrite one’s own copy until it’s approved and ready.
• A collaborative spirit and an openness to notes are key to success on this team.
• The ability to work alone, producing multiple copy options from client prompts, and to proactively take on work based on client communications will be critical.
• A professional, personable, and fun personality with a passion for building lasting relationships with clients.
• Proficient in Google tools, including Gmail and Google services (Docs, Sheets, etc.).
• A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, creative, and social environment. 
  

Not a must, but a plus:

• A genuine passion for AI is a huge
