About The Role: 

We are seeking a talented Copywriter Summer Intern to join our creative team in New York. In this role, you will be responsible for assisting in the development of creative efforts supporting client work that ranges from consumer to B2B, and everywhere in between. Working as part of a collaborative team, you’ll contribute to multiple projects while working under the direction of more senior creatives.  

We are looking for someone who understands the power of a big idea, the nuance of a great tactic, and the difference between the two. Someone who can execute against PR, marketing, advertising, digital social, and everything in-between. You’ll work across all types of media, as well as no media (that’s the PR thing).   

• Flexible and versatile writing style and voice.  
• Perseverance – Sometimes ideas won’t work. Or sometimes clients won’t like them. We’re looking for someone who can shrug off the NO and keep pushing.  
• Open minded – we want you to bring all your knowledge to the table AND be open to learning new ways of thinking. 
• Think strategically and creatively. 
• Work closely with account team members to develop and deliver key client deliverables, learning the basics of the clients’ business. 

• Must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (i.e., at least 2 weeks after last dose) and, if hired, present proof of vaccination before start date. Candidates may request accommodation due to a disability.
• Basic knowledge of “how the kids communicate on the web and social these days.” 
• Provide a portfolio of work.
• Strong communication and time management skills. 
• Work closely with partners and broader teams to effectively translate client objectives into creative vision. 

Pay rate: $18/hour USD

An employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, travel requirements, revenue-based metrics, any contractual agreements, and business or organizational needs.
