Your responsibilities include
- Coming up with creative ideas in response to briefs and understanding how key brand messages and business directives can be worked into briefs in a creative way
- Developing strong empathy for and understanding of our audiences and their motivations, using data and market research to come up with new copy angles to test
- Working with Brand and Performance Marketing Teams to write copy that helps deliver the best Curated experience for users across all touchpoints (product & campaigns)
- Creating multiple copy options for testing to improve engagement, consistently monitoring performance and finding ways to improve conversion rates
- Knowing which levers to pull if copy is underperforming
- Creating repeatable processes to write high converting copy as we launch many new product verticals & channels
- Continuously developing and acting as guardian of the brand’s TOV across business departments including People Team, Community Support, PR
Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience writing marketing copy for an agency or brand
- Experience writing for ad platforms including Facebook, Google ads, YouTube, and email
- Exceptional attention to detail with excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Some previous experience with content/creative strategy and complex multi-channel rollouts is desirable
About you
- Fluent in direct response marketing concepts and best practices
- Motivated to produce results independently and with a team
