Senior Copywriter

Our creative department uses the power of creative to help our clients fight invisibility. That means coming up with ideas, experiences (and sometimes ads) that impact culture because they simply can't be ignored. We're artists, designers, technologists, dreamers, stand-up comedians, former stunt doubles, kerning-obsessives and typeface enthusiasts all working to put buzz-generating work out into the world.

 

We're looking for an optimistic, DIY kind of writer to join one of our newest client teams. We're building it as we speak (that’s what that hammering noise is), and beyond a challenge it’s a major opportunity.

 

Could you be that writer? Is your Spotify playlist a mashup of hip hop and indie rock? Can you list TikTok as a language you're proficient in? You might be the one we're lookin’ for.


YOUR IMPACT

  • You'll tell compelling stories with more than just words. Tell those art directors to step aside; you can build narratives using only images—even land a joke speaking only to eyeballs—and you love it. The art and craft of good TV should still bring you joy, because you’ll get to push the limits of creativity on this brand.
  • You'll take comedy just as serious as we do. You can tell a joke. You know humor. It’s not all you do, but you get it. And you love it.
  • You'll have the reach you need to impact culture. Think big, global campaigns. The chance to cross borders and culture, the opportunity to create something iconic and human that isn't limited by mere geography.
  • Cool is subjective, but whatever it is, you have some of it. Your eclectic music taste will no longer raise eyebrows—it'll raise views, consumer sentiment, and buyer engagement. You know what's what, above ground and underground, from games to fashion to sneakers, and those cultural connections drive your work.
  • Cool is only one part of the equation: this team breaks barriers, and so will you. We’re not shy when it comes to challenging the establishment. We create for the radically inclusive, sex-positive, genderfluid, norm-bending Gen Z revolution. You'll inspire transformation in a manifesto all the way to an off-color joke that won’t get roasted on Twitter.
  • You'll speak culture. The culture of now. You'll navigate Snapchat. TikTok. Ideate a breezy, socially led activation that gets phones buzzing. Any of the places our audiences are showing up; and you'll shake 'em up.


WE'D ESPECIALLY LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU...

  • Have 5+ years of experience creating big budget, integrated campaigns as a writer on the national brand stage. Even better, small budget work that still pops off the screen. Strong TV experience is a must
  • You've got a little bit of global seasoning. If the idea of launching a campaign that will run across the globe doesn't make you tense up, that’s a good thing
  • Are the kind of person who respects collaboration — we work with a representative group of people (race, ethnicity, nationality, etc.) and we value those who are excited at the chance to communicate cross-culturally and across departments


IS THIS ROLE NOT QUITE A MATCH?

Does this role pique your interest but feel a lil' out of reach, or misaligned with your unique experience? Still reach out! Your story might capture our attention.


WHO WE ARE

Martin is home to over 300 makers, thinkers, problem-solvers, dreamers and believers. People whose jobs are just as interesting as they are. We’re an agency that values the candid, the curious, and the fiery. People who put their hearts first and win because of it. These are the principles we put our confidence in, and how we give our clients and our people — those here and on their way to us — a way to be seen. Invisibility is our nemesis. For our clients and for our people, we make space for all to be valued, to be celebrated, and to exist beyond the noise.


WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that when you impact culture, you impact sales. It’s that simple. Buzz is our business metric. We’ve created steady buzz for brands like Buffalo Wild Wings, CarMax, DoorDash, GEICO, Old Navy, OREO and UPS, to name a few. And we’ve been doing it a long time. Virginia is for Lovers? It's one of the most recognized taglines in the tourism industry and beyond. We wrote it in 1969.


We believe in fighting invisibility. This is the radical pursuit of our people and keeping them at the center, investing in and building safe, strong community; pouring into holistic wellbeing; and fostering an environment of maximum contribution, so that they can focus only on doing the best work of their lives.


HOW WE MAKE SPACE

The Martin Agency is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We are committed to creating a place of belonging — a space where employees do not need to sacrifice who they are to exist and grow in our workplace. The Martin Agency does not discriminate on any unlawful basis including race, religion, color, national origin, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by law.
