Position Summary:

Junior Copywriter will be expected to create compelling content for multiple platforms both online (social media, Google AdWords, website) and traditional (outdoor, print, etc.)

Essential Functions:

Writing Copy

We are looking for a person with a smart, quick-witted grasp of the English language, but who also knows how to write like a human. Think of a mix between The Hindu and your twitter feed. Informative, yet interesting.

- You will need to write long copy (brand guidelines, websites, etc), as well as smart, pithy copy (ad headlines, outdoor, etc).

- You will need to be able to write fast and juggle multiple projects.

- You will need to be able to proofread other copywriters and designers. Designers can- t spell a lick. Seriously, they- re 'HORRIBLE'.

PS: If you didn't notice, the spelling of copywriters is incorrect in the above statement.

- You- ll be expected to be proactive in researching audiences, clients and products. We- ll give you all the support you need, but you- will need to - dig- on your own.

Working Well with Others

- You will work with account managers, designers, Facebook ads managers, and clients on an hourly basis. If you like people, great. If you are a hermit who likes to hide in a cubicle, go work for an engineering firm (no offence to engineering firms).

- We need someone who disagrees politely and supports others. We fight with love and we- re all very nice people here. We'll even share our food with you (just kidding).

- Be courteous, be polite, be on time and be smart.

- Ask questions. Don- t hide

- Be a team player, always share your food.

Brain Power

- Are you curious? Good. You- ll soon become an expert on tires, baseball, firearms, optics, trains and anything and everything in-between. And if you can- t become an expert, by gosh, at least sound like an expert.

- Do you like profreading? Good. Did you notice the misspelling in that last sentence? You just may work out.

- Do you like to present? Don- t worry. We- ll make you better. But you will be expected to present your ideas to the clients, account people and other team members.

- We brainstorm here. We try to do it every day (at times even on weekends). So you- ll be sitting with designers and thinking up ideas.

DON'T PRESS THE PANIC BUTTON. PLEASE STAY WITH US FOR A FEW MORE POINTS.

Essential Skills & Experience:

- Familiarity with Instagram, Facebook and what all the cool kids are doing

- Microsoft Word

- PowerPoint

- Fax machines. Seriously. No, we are kidding.

- <1 to 2 years- experience in marketing and advertising. Blogs and poetry don't count.
