Full-time
6/11/2020
Chicago Illinois
Chicago, IL

JOB OVERVIEW:

TMA Copywriters are conceptual thinkers and storytellers. Every word put to paper is strategically sound, and grammatically impeccable. We don’t write ads. We write conversations an audience will welcome. We self-edit, and know when not to. We’re team players for whom no job is too small and no deadline too tight. We wear many hats and we speak in many voices. We are jugglers. We are go-getters. We are built-in proofreaders. And we can take a punch and not 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.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a directly related field (Advertising, Journalism, Marketing, English, etc.). 
  • 3-6 years of agency experience as a Copywriter. 
  • Strong concepting chops a huge plus! 
  • Experience in promotional marketing (experiential a plus). 
  • Strong problem-solving, communications, and relationship-building skills. 
  • Self-motivation, and ability to creatively and strategically solve multiple problems at once, under quick deadlines. 
  • Ability to brainstorm in large groups and develop big promotional ideas from beginning to end. 
  • Knowledge of PowerPoint, Keynote and InDesign a plus. 
  • Solid online portfolio.
