About the job Senior Copywriter

We believe in creative work that disrupts, and we are looking for a candidate who is going to embrace modern marketing principles and is a self-starter by nature.

( Cannes, One Show, Loeries, Clios, Bookmarks etc.)

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a senior creative you will help lead our passionate, multi-talented studio, guiding more junior members to deliver, and encourage exceptional, integrated concepts that exceed client briefs and expectations.

A Senior Writer is an important contact point in our agency, so they can expect to be craft-led, strategically driven, media agnostic, agile and consistently conceptual, with a desire to transform brands by creating exceptional, intuitive, and human-centred products and experiences.

The successful candidate will be tuned into all aspects of South African popular culture and the platforms and media it plays in, as well as have a strong point of view on what it takes to win in this space, with the experience to back it up. Exceptional writing ability is paramount.
