Senior Copywriter - Freelance

We believe in Extraordinary.

At Jack Morton we create head-turning, stomach-dropping, mind-boggling, smile-inducing brand experiences for everyone. It's the future of marketing and there's nothing passive or predictable about it. We promise every day will be different than the previous one in a very good way.

We take care of each other, as much as we take care of business. We marvel in each other's uniqueness and revel in what each of us brings to the human potluck that is Jack.

So, if you want to help shape the future of an entire industry, welcome. If you feel work, and the people you work with, can be extraordinary, let's chat. We're Jack, and we can't wait to meet you.

That brings us to you.

As a freelance Senior Copywriter, you'll be accountable for executing bold creative ideas rooted in the overall strategy and helping direct how those ideas come to life.

Depending on projects, hours worked will range from 15-20 hours/week for the duration of about six months. You must be available during standard Eastern Time business hours. A link to your portfolio must be on your resume and/or submitted as part of your application – if applicable, provide the password to your portfolio.

What you'll be doing

• Generate big creative ideas that grow business, meet client objectives, and win awards
• Help shape and execute the expression of those ideas across all experience media including brand acts and integrated campaigns
• Work closely with designers to ensure copy and visuals work together and are consistent to the concept
• Work with the Creative Director and ACDs to help define the campaigns
• Present your ideas in a compelling way—written and verbally—to internal audiences and clients
• Work with the production team to ensure your ideas are as powerful as they were when pitched
• Understand the clients' business by staying tuned in to business needs, competitive landscape, and cultural events and trends relevant to clients' audiences
• Participate in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment. Actively support and engage in creating and sustaining a workplace that fosters creativity and innovation
• Lead by example and mentor junior talent
• Participate in key new business pitches and in the development of case studies

If you can do all that, you have what it takes. It might help if…

• 4–6 years of overall creative experience
• BA in writing or related discipline preferred
• Superior writing, editing and proofreading skills with proven experience with message development and storytelling for different mediums (i.e., digital, paid media, print, broadcast, etc.)
• Able to work both independently and within a highly collaborative environment
• Relentless attention to detail
• An unmatched passion and energy for your craft, Jack Morton, and brand experience
• Most importantly—you take the work seriously, but not yourself
