Senior Copywriter

Overview

This is a tremendous opportunity for an experienced writer who strives for excellence in his or her craft and is looking to grow and take on new challenges.

At Maven Creative we combine creative and strategic, brand-forward thinking to solve complex business problems (sometimes simple ones, také) for our clients. Ideally, the Senior Copywriter will be able to perform in this space as a next-level creative writer AND a logical thinker.

Maven routinely wins awards for its work, and this writer would play a large role in the continuation of maintaining and raising our creative standards. This writer will be collaborative, positive, a great listener, funny with a good sense of humor and someone who is passionate about what they do and enjoys the company of the people he or she works with. Our agency operates much like a family and we genuinely care about each other and our clients. This person would exhibit a similar compassion and humility and fit in with the team and company culture – which TBH, is kinda awesome.

This writer will need to be versatile across media, be able to write at the brand-level and be able to advise a brand as to their voice and audience. The writer will write headlines, scripts, brand anthems, advertisements, central campaign themes and supporting copy, tag lines, brand positioning statements and much more.
