Copywriter (Chicago, IL) - The Marketing Arm

Are you the last person standing when the Scrabble dust settles? Have you been described as a lyrical wordsmith? Do you spend most of your time with two fingers on the pulse of pop culture? Then you could be the person The Marketing Arm is looking for.

You’re a thinker and a doer. Every word you put to paper is strategically sound, and grammatically impeccable. You don’t write ads. You write conversations your audience will welcome. You self-edit, and you know when not to. You’re a team player for whom no job is too small and no deadline too tight. You wear many hats and you speak in many voices. You’re a juggler. A go-getter. A built-in proofreader. And you can take a punch, but you won’t be knocked out.

Responsibilities:

• Developing concepts: promotional, experiential, social and so on
• Handling all copywriting duties within a group, from ads to signage to long-form web copy
• Understanding input from Creative Directors and clients, and effectively applying feedback to creative executions
• Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of cultural and business trends
• Effectively building relationships with teammates and clients
• Maintaining a flexible work schedule, as weekend and extended workdays are sometimes (but rarely) necessary
• Demonstrating knowledge of the marketplace our clients operate in, strategy, and the competitive landscape
