Edelman is looking for a Copywriter to help us make things that culture will love. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world’s most talked about work. Whether we're teaming eBay up with Nike to launch skateboarding sneakers, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It’s not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change the culture around us. Now we need a strong Copywriter who can help unlock more of those weird, wild ideas.
What kind of creative work will you do? We’re glad you asked. Because our work doesn’t really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there’s no “standard” creative brief here. We’re the kind of creative department that works on scripts for a heartfelt brand anthem in the morning, switches over around lunchtime to concept-ing for a brand stunt that’ll hijack culture, and end our day by workshopping funny tweets. And that’s just a Monday. So, if you’re looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the 30-second spot – the kind of ideas that end up in the pages of the New York Times and on the One Show shortlist – you’ll be in good company here.
To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it’s why so many stay with us a while. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another and encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture.
