Senior Digital Copywriter, Contract or Full-time | Digital / Creative Agency | Melbourne

We’re looking for a Senior Copywriter with a solid background in writing for a variety of digital platforms, from the web to apps to chatbots, as well as strong conceptual skills. We need that rare talent who can go from distilling interesting and relevant insights from source material, to telling brand stories through social posts without breaking stride. Along with smart, original ideas and sharp writing, you’ll need a mind for details and persuasive presentation skills.

In this role, you will be working for clients who want to be recognised as leaders in developing innovative digital and mobile experiences for their customers. Every day, you will be on the front lines of idea generation, paired up not just with art directors but with an array of digital thinkers - strategists, UXers, suits, producers, designers, developers, technologists. 

Sometimes the ask will be simple and specific. Other times you’ll be solving problems for which the answers are elusive and wide open and it’s up to you to dictate what, where, and how consumers will bump into the idea. Either way, you love the process as much as the finished product.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years experience, mostly digital
  • Diverse portfolio of great digital and mobile experiences, social media and other marketing campaigns, along with the stories behind why they were effective
  • Experience writing different types of content - campaigns, evergreen web content, video scripts, etc

  • Mentor / train juniors
  • Client presentation decks

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience writing for chatbots and voice-enabled applications
  • Experience working with marketing automation platforms

  • One of the best emerging creative agencies in the country - mid-sized & growing
