Golin Chicago (our headquarter office) is looking for a Junior Copywriter.

The Junior Copywriter has a simple job description: Come up with ideas that break the internet. Really, yes break it. With fun ideas. Provocative ideas. Totally off the wall ideas. Ideas that make every Creative Director at every other agency in the world want to recruit you away from us.

But you’re not going to leave because you know as a junior creative you’ll be working on everything from Super Bowl briefs to trying to create the next Tik Tok challenge craze to doing something awesome inside of Animal Crossing. Building your books with diverse, channel agnostic work for some of the coolest brands on the planet.

Not only that, you’ll know for a fact that your ideas are going to earn attention from Buzzfeed, Complex, Hypebeast, because you’ll have the power of the entire Golin media team pitching to make your ideas famous.

As a creative, you’re probably wondering if you’ll be making TV ads. Honestly, you won’t. You’ll be making culture instead. Don’t get us wrong, making ads are awesome but moving culture and making headlines are better. In fact, that kind of approach has helped us win both Cannes Lions and back-to-back PRWEEK Global Agency of the Year.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

Make it up. Then make it happen.

Job #1 is to bring the freshest, most inspired, most unexpected thinking that solves a client’s problem. Job #2 is to use every creative skill you have to bring your ideas to life. From comps, to stick figure animations, to puppet shows…whatever your idea takes to make it absolutely impossible for a client not to buy it.

  • Collaborate with your creative director, strategist, media, digital and account teams to ensure your work is always relevant, strategically sound and headline worthy. 
  • Communicate your ideas to the clients with clarity, strategic insight and passion. 
  • Hunt for and share out with the rest of the team what’s breaking in culture BEFORE it breaks in culture. 
  • Proactive thinking. You’re always bringing ideas because you know not every opportunity lives within the brief.
  • 1-2 years’ experience in advertising, social, or digital media. Knowledge of earned media is a plus. 
  • 109% internet fluency. You know the ins and outs of social media, speak the language of the internet, have gone down YouTube rabbit holes for multiple hours in a row, have uploaded multiple Tik Tok videos and have explored without fear the inner depths of Reddit. 
  • Art Director: You’re a wizard in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator and have an understanding of visual storytelling. 
  • Writer: You’re a wizard at using words to communicate emotion and inciting people to hit that share button. 
  • You’re a genuinely nice person who brings energy every single day to your work and to the agency.
