Mustache is looking for a Senior Copywriter to help us make things that culture will love. Like teaming up with RZA to replace an outdated and racist ice cream jingle, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans. We're all about work that earns attention and impacts culture. And to do that, our briefs operate outside the standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box. So, if you’re looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the 30-second spot but 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 awhile. We support one another, encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture.
