You’re a skilled presenter and can sell-in your team’s ideas to internal stakeholders.
As an experienced creative, you can juggle multiple projects, manage your own workload, and meet your deadlines. But you’re also willing to lend a hand to other team members and copywriters when needed. Curiosity about people’s everyday lives and needs is a must, and if you also have an interest in sustainability, design, and home furnishing, that’s even better.
What you need:
Native (or near native) English language skills.
Substantial (5+ years) copywriting experience, in-house or at an agency.
A solid portfolio that demonstrates your ability to write clear and clever copy for a variety of subjects and channels.
Digital marketing and advertising experience. Content strategy is a plus.
Up-to-date knowledge of today’s platforms and the multi-channel landscape.
