Job Title: Senior Copywriter (Marketing/Advertising)
Posted by: WHM Creative
Location: Oakland, CA
Contract: Full-Time

Thanks to JET alum, Cameron Katamari (Chiba-ken) for the following job opening with his agency:

Hi, we’re WHM. We’re a small, but mighty team of marketing strategists, creative visionaries, designers, copywriters and account managers who solve problems—and we do it creatively. Every day, we’re on a mission to rid the B2B marketing world of “blah.” Here’s how we do it:

We run from run of the mill. We run from lazy marketing. We run from safe. From jargon. From boring. We run toward unexpected, educated, and compelling solutions that solve problems and make people think and feel and take action.

We’re powered by curiosity. We’re curious about data, about facts, about the story behind the story, and about the people we’re trying to reach. We transform all that information into insight and truly bold creative that delivers.

We play the long game. We’re hyper-focused on producing the best work possible and doing what’s right for our clients. Process and profit should never get in the way of that.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re in search of a creative, curious, optimistic and resourceful Senior Copywriter to develop and execute marketing and advertising campaigns and content for a wide range of clients. You have a big imagination, strong visual ideas to compliment your mastery of the written word, and a team-player mentality that’s equal parts assertive and collaborative. You’re driven to solve challenging problems and create engaging messages that make a connection and drive action.

You’ll be working with an intimate team of in-house and freelance creatives on projects for a diverse mix of clients, from a leading cloud computing enterprise (yes, that means you should like learning about complex subjects) to a new direct-to-consumer online diamond retailer. Brand development, integrated campaigns, digital media, content—it’s all up for grabs and it’s all in your wheelhouse.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Create original, compelling and emotionally-connected ideas: from top level campaign concepts, display and social advertising, and everything in between.
  • Partner with a cross-functional team of strategists, visual designers, product designers, technologists, account leaders—to bring ideas to life.
  • Develop creative ideas that are grounded in business strategy and insights and demonstrate to clients that we understand their products and marketing challenges
  • Ensure that deadlines and budgets are met
  • Present (and sell) work
  • Contribute to new business activities
  • Partner with your ACD/CD and account team to ensure projects are estimated and scheduled with sufficient time and resources.
  • Represent the agency at client meetings
  • Contribute to new business activities and pitches

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

  • 2+ years’ experience copywriting and concepting across a range of marketing channels (e.g., ad campaigns, social, email, banners and webpages)
  • Exceptional conceptual and storytelling talent
  • The ability to distill technical content into simple and easy-to-understand messaging
  • Proven experience developing strategically grounded, creative ideas across digital and traditional media, for B2B and consumer brands
  • A strong and diverse portfolio of original advertising and brand engagement work, including brand, digital, video, and content
  • Expert understanding of creative considerations across website, mobile, online advertising, social media, video, etc. (e.g., social character counts, video storyboarding, email best practices)
  • Attention to detail—whether magical or mundane
  • A die-hard work ethic and killer sense of humor
  • A positive outlook and attitude—no negative nellies, please
  • A collaborative spirit—you work well with different personalities and know how to motivate and inspire your colleagues to operate at their highest potential
  • Ability to prioritize projects (often with competing deadlines). Resourcefulness is golden.
  • Experience and interest in technology
  • Expertise in the following types of projects:
    • Brand messaging (TOV, message framework, brand guidelines)
    • Global integrated digital campaigns (concepts, social, display)
    • Websites (UX/IA a plus!)
    • nurture email programs
    • Content creation, both long and short form (infographics, ebooks, whitepapers, videos, etc.)
