WHY WE THINK YOU WILL LOVE THIS ROLE
Are you big into mobile gaming? Obsessed with music? Love finding the next big artist or hottest upcoming concert? Are you a die-hard sports fanatic, a movie junkie or weekend-show-binging-die-hard? And do you love taking on new challenges, defying convention and coming up with big ideas that have never been done before? Then you've landed at the right place.
Today, we're looking at growing and strengthening our creative roster with a talented, conceptual creative Copywriter. As Copywriter, you'll play a crucial role within our creative team - delivering exceptional creative solutions, crafting copy and words that motivate and inspire people for one of the biggest tech brands.
We're looking for a passionate, creative problem solver. To us, the Copywriter should have a knack for understanding consumer behaviors, cultural trends, and technology (people use every day) and how to best reach them where they are. When briefed, the Copywriter should have a partner mentality, working and collaborating closely with an Art Director or Designer in delivering compelling creative solutions.
We're looking for a "What-if" thinker. The Copywriter shouldn't be held back by convention or norm but can push and think beyond the expected. The Copywriter should be eager to win awards as well as industry recognition for our team.
And lastly, we're looking for a Copywriter with a proven ability to confidently share and articulate their ideas to the team while providing insights and human truths that back up the work.
