Leveraging our deep industry expertise, we help brands like Best Buy, Domino's, American Eagle, The Home Depot, Post, Disney, Tumi, Michael Kors, Boost Mobile, and UnitedHealth Group transform their media and measurement programs.

As part of the broader Creative Team (Influencer + Creative Lab), we unite brand strategy, cultural relevance, creators, AI enablement, and strategic media to create big ideas that people actually feel, remember, and act upon.
We're looking for an exceptional Copywriter who leads with bold creative vision - concepting and crafting work from first spark to final asset. This is a role for a writer who loves language, sweats the details, and knows how to make complex stories sound simple, surprising, and fun.
We're also looking for a modern maker: someone who's as comfortable jamming on a big platform idea as they are writing social copy or using AI tools to push the work further, faster.
Lead creative development across campaigns and channels, partnering closely with strategists, art directors, and media teams to produce big ideas grounded in insights and elevated by bold execution.
Interpret briefs and data-led insights to turn them into compelling creative territories, platforms, and narratives.
Write compelling, on-brand copy that can flex across full-funnel ecosystems - from TV and radio scripts to thumb-stopping social ads and performance banners.
Present work internally and to clients with a clear, confident narrative that connects idea, execution, and performance impact.
Bring a high bar for craft: persuasive headlines and storytelling structure, all the way to grammar, clarity, and consistency.
Think visually as well as verbally - using AI and other tools to rough in layouts, storyboards, and image concepts that help bring ideas to life.
Use AI and emerging tools as part of your creative process - from exploration and territory development to versioning and optimization.
Manage multiple projects at once, communicating proactively about timelines, risks, and trade-offs.
Stay on top of platform best practices, cultural trends, and the evolving role of creative in the media ecosystem.
