Copywriter
Job Description
Superunion is doubling our word count. We’re looking for a Copywriter to become the second permanent member of our London team. Someone good with words, but not romantically in love with them. Who cares about the big idea as much as the punctuation in the middle of it. And is not a semi-colon to work with.
About us
Superunion is very young. And old: launched in 2018, from five creative companies with more than 200 years of collective experience between us, and an awards cabinet to match.
Our copy team in London is even younger. This is a chance to be there at the beginning. To help define our whole way with words, not just sprinkle a few nice lines in here and there. And maybe one day make us just as well-known for our creative writing, as our creative everything else.
The sort of writing
You’ll work on…
- Voice
- Naming
- Scripts
- Campaigns
- Manifestos
- Positioning statements
- Messaging strategy
- Web copy
- Lines
- Lines
- And more lines
- And just generally rewriting what writing can do (and be) at a big creative agency
The sort of writer
We’ll need you to…
- Have a rapper’s ear for rhythm and a bloodhound’s nose for jargon
- Throw your voice in more directions than a ventriloquist
- Juggle briefs (lots of them)
- Create strategically and strategise creatively
- Work fast and be nice to people
- Love design like designers do
- Speak up for your words just as well as you can write them
The sort of clients
Gucci. ESL. Jaguar. Intel. Nespresso. Vodafone. Berghaus. To name but a very few. From massive global Goliaths to the Davids you’ve never even heard of, and the explosion of esports to the innards of insurance… you won’t be bored.
Experience
Ideally you’ll have done a good stretch of time in a creative agency or two. But if your portfolio’s wiser than its years, that’s good enough for us.
