Freelance Senior Copywriter

Freelance Copywriter - London (Hybrid) - Advertising Agency

Do you have an exceptional background as a freelance copywriter, who has worked for a broad mix of marketing, advertising or creative agencies?

Do you ooze versatility, having worked across both long and short form copy, across varying formats?

Do you have exposure writing for big-brands and household names?

If you answered "yes" we want to speak to you today.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for a freelance copywriting superstar who lives and breathes it! From writing blogs, social posts, thought-leadership pieces, web copy, white-papers, you name it, we do it! (This is a truly varied copywriting role)

This is not a role for someone who delegates the "doing". You'll be deeply involved in the work itself, working closely with wider creatives, strategists and the client-facing team. With a natural ability for mastering a brand tone of voice, an exceptional eye for detail and quality assurance, you are the type of person who can take full ownership of copy projects fully end-to-end.

What you’ll be doing?

You will work across a very broad client-base; whether its B2B or B2C, or with FMCG, Technology, Health, Retail or other clients... (we work across all sectors)

Responsibilities & Duties

  • Take full-ownership of high-priority campaigns.
  • Video Scripting for social and web, thinking of the "hook" required for online social media success with the gravitas required for client messaging.
  • Act as a trusted advisor for approach to creative campaigns, aligning copy and imagery for succinct and clear messaging.
  • Superb attention to detail with exceptional quality assurance, setting the benchmark for copy within the unit.

Ability Essential

  • Significant experience in a senior copywriting or editorial role within marketing, advertising, or creative agencies.
  • Solid understanding of how copy mechanics change across social platforms— knowing why a script works for one platform and not another.
  • An ability to take complex information and simplify it, finding ways to engage audiences through emotive storytelling.
  • Excellent strategic thinking, understanding not just the writing, but in asking what we should be writing and why, ensuring content aligns with broader strategic goals (rebuilding trust).
  • Experience managing external resource / agency support.
