Copywriter

This is an opportunity to join a growing full service marketing agency based in Macclesfield. Their focus is on the B2B and professional services sectors with a digital bias - although they are known for delivering great work across online and offline channels. Always looking to improve, you'll be joining a like minded team who are focused on building an agency that wins clients through reputation.

Is it a role for you?

You will have a natural flair for writing and be able to demonstrate your ability to write and craft different types of copy; including long, short and headlines. You will consider yourself a 'wordsmith', and will probably have held a formal copywriting position before or spent a lot of your time writing professionally. You will be passionate about writing and care about producing perfect words no matter what the project.

Role

As a Copywriter, you will be expected to take briefs from the Account Management and project teams and turn them into exciting copy. One day this could mean writing a 400-word blog. Another day you could be asked to come up with a killer strapline. One week you might work on a large website project, or be asked to produce a 20-page guide on a topic you will have to research.

Reporting to the Head of Digital, you will be expected to get involved with many other aspects of our marketing, including coming up with original ideas. You'll be supported by a Junior Copywriter and a specialist Proofreader.
