Copywriter

Who We Are

We’re Madwell, a full-service creative agency headquartered in sunny Bushwick with sister offices in Denver and Hong Kong. Get to know us at Madwell.com

Who You Are

You can write. Well. A lot. Fast. You’re equal parts generous communicator and sharp strategic mind. You have more ideas than you know what to do with, and you live to unleash them on the nearest puzzle. While you love to work hard doing what you love, you may just value the people you work with even more. You’re the Copywriter we’ve been looking for, and we want you on our team—especially if you’ve got a passion for gaming and a penchant for nerding out.

What You’ll Do

As a Copywriter at Madwell, you’ll be ideating and writing across mediums. You’ll be responsible for the quality and integrity of your work from concept to delivery, maintaining your core message all along the way. Working across a variety of workstreams on some of our largest and most disruptive accounts, you’ll work closely with partners in design, strategy, social, media, development, and others to get your message through. This role is based in our Brooklyn, New York office, but will remain remote until July 2021. 

Specifically, you’ll be:

  • Working with a Fortune 500 company in the gaming/tech space
  • Ideating and writing cross-medium copy 
  • Brainstorming creative concepts consistent with client briefs and expectations
  • Developing decks and presenting your work in collaboration with your teams
  • Helping to unearth strategic insights and working with your teams to convert them into compelling creative
  • Hitting the bullseye on brand voice and tone again and again—and able to extend and deepen the brand voice when the occasion calls for it
  • Combing your work (and others’) for logic, grammar, and consistency
  • Completing all assigned work on deadline and regularly communicating status updates to managers and teammates

Our Must-Haves

  • The ultimate command of the English language (words salute you)
  • Proven ability to effortlessly flex and bend your tone to support any product or brand
  • Comfortable representing yourself, your team, and your ideas in front of a group
  • The eager, stubborn resolve needed to come at a problem again and again from different angles
  • Wise to the nature of writing in advertising (with the thick skin to prove it)
  • Even-keeled under pressure
  • A tireless work ethic and sense of professional pride and purpose
  • Still in possession of a “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” outlook on life
  • Equal parts confidence, humility, and desire to learn
  • An objectively awesome human being
  • Ideally, a passion for online gaming and/or a familiarity with the gaming community

What We Offer

  • Competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, including a subscription to One Medical
  • Generous vacation policy
  • Retirement plan with matching
  • Performance-based bonuses
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave as a proud member of Pledge Parental Leave
  • Commuter benefits
  • Team and company outings and events
  • Monday morning brunch, free snacks, and coffee & beer on tap
  • Pet-friendly offices

Where You’ve Been

  • 3-5 years of professional writing experience; agency experience is preferred but not required

  • Your CV
  • A nontraditional cover letter that involves zero copy-paste. We’re humans. Write to us.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 5/31/2023
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
