Edelman is looking for a Jr.
Copywriter to help us make things that the internet will love. Our growing
creative team are the masterminds behind some of the world’s most talked about work.
From writing a new ice cream truck jingle, to fighting for intersectional
environmental justice, each piece of work that we put into the world is
designed to capture the attention of the American media landscape, and
hopefully leave it a little better than we found it. It’s not enough to be
culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we
need a Jr. CW with a finely tuned cultural radar to help unlock more of those
weird, wild ideas.

 

We know what you’re saying, “But
isn’t Edelman a PR company?” Sure, public relations was and is part of who we
are, but in recent years we’ve grown our surrounding departments and evolved
into a next generation kind of agency. Now we sit at the intersection of public
relations and advertising, with every piece of work getting amplified by the
full force of the Edelman global PR machine behind it. If you’re looking to
create ideas that end up in the pages of the NY Times, ADWEEK and, yes, in the
award shows, we do that on a regular basis. And for what it’s worth, we’re usually
WAY more humble.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

 

This Jr. Copywriter needs to be a
creative problem solver for our clients and carry a strong set of skills to

significant research, and to generate your own ideas. From decks to scripts to
social copy, we want someone who can articulate and carry an idea forward from
the conceptual phase all the way to execution. You will be joining a team of
diverse creative personalities who are masters of their craft, tapping not only
their professional experiences, but also their passion for art and life with
every assignment. We will encourage you to do the same and use every tool in
your creative arsenal, not just your computer, to create meaningful work that
you can be proud of. We build, we draw, we take pictures, we geek out on tech,
and we get our hands dirty to bring our ideas to life.
