Are you looking for an opportunity to share your expertise, while working with brands? Do you want to be involved in the development of strategy, creative concepts, content and campaign implementation?

As a Mid-Level Copywriter, you will be an integral part of the team.

You will need to combine your deep understanding of the trends and concerns inherent to the retail industry with a varied skillset that will include copywriting, investigative research, script writing, conceptual thinking and content project planning. The role will involve writing for digital/web: you'll help brands fit their tone of voice to this landscape and advise on content that'll powerfully connect with consumers.

**What You'll be Doing**:

- Write, research, and conceptualise creative, innovative content that grows audiences and encourages sharing.
- Write short and long form articles.
- Repurpose existing content across different platforms.
- Work closely with clients to create strong concepts from initial briefing through to execution.

- Thorough understanding of changing social media and digital best practises.
- A thorough understanding of the language and needs inherent to writing for retail brands.
- Experience of publishing through social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube) and content management systems (WordPress, HubSpot, Drupal, etc).
- A powerful grasp of how content can play out across multiple mediums.
- Able to use data and insight to inform creative ideas.
- A flair for words.
- Curiosity, creativity, and ambition.
- The ability to think conceptually when needed. Experience working as part of a traditional creative team (designer and copywriter) would be helpful.
- Demonstrated ability to combine and translate complex material from different sources and contexts into stories and content that engage and resonate with target audiences.
