THE ROLE

We Are Social is looking for a culture-hungry Senior Copywriter to join our growing team!

You create campaigns, defend creative integrity and mentor junior talent. You are always on the forefront of culture which helps you deliver nuanced work that balances high-level brand vision with flawless execution across multiple workstreams.

WE ARE 

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

  • Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more

  • Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked)

YOU ARE

  • A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
  • Not interested in just following trends – you want to create them
  • A self-starter, who’ll take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro

What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with social audiences. This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you’ll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and cultural moments. In return, you’ll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world’s leading brands.

  • Be a creative spokesperson for projects to ensure that the creative integrity of the work stays intact
  • Support the team with new business, by helping outline and write pitch decks
  • Contribute high-level thinking that shapes the direction of creative projects from inception to final delivery
  • Master brand voice by consistently producing top-tier copy that meets the agency’s highest standards, even when navigating tight deadlines or budget constraints
  • Drive creative problem-solving by finding adaptable solutions that preserve the core idea while satisfying evolving client needs and technical requirements
  • Clearly articulate creative visions and "decode" client feedback into actionable tasks for the internal team
  • Identify trends and opportunities as they emerge in social that stay true to our brands
  • Defend creative work confidently to internal and external stakeholders, providing a clear rationale for copy and conceptual decisions
  • Translate complex briefs into clear, actionable creative tasks, ensuring the team stays aligned with the client’s core objectives
  • Collaborate with internal team members by actively listening to and interpreting feedback, ensuring a cohesive and effective final product across all departments
  • Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously without a loss in quality or focus
  • Take an active role in mentoring junior and mid-level writers and providing constructive, feedback
  • Use AI to generate robust campaign concepts from scratch and explore innovative linguistic patterns that push the boundaries of traditional advertising
  • Leverage AI to generate diverse variations for A/B testing and to draft comprehensive long-form content, such as web pages or white papers
  • Master of agency wide project management and collaboration platforms to maintain high capacity workflows
  • Work collaboratively with a large team of creatives from ideation to execution, helping to ensure ideas are created and brought to life

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE

  • 5+ years of agency experience with a portfolio showing multi-channel campaigns with a focus on strategic depth
  • A robust knowledge of advertising fundamentals, including brand development, strategy, storytelling, design, new/emerging platforms and technologies
  • Achieved full command of the creative process- you know how to bring an idea along from a kernel to a campaign, and sell it to clients while staying on brief
