We’re looking for a passionate, collaborative Copywriter to join our team. At L&S, Copywriters work with other creatives and across disciplines to brainstorm campaign ideas, write persuasive and inventive copy for all media, proof and edit content, and apply creative thinking to tell stories in new, engaging ways that connect with audiences.

WHO YOU ARE
A copywriter is a critical thinker who can solve problems, translating benefits and services into compelling, consumer-focused selling propositions. Copywriters are self-motivated, love to write and are prolific brainstormers.

• Write conversational, compelling copy for video, social media, email, websites, print, radio, paid search and more.

• Stay organized and work well under pressure, juggling several projects at once while hitting deadlines.
• Work with design and video teams to contribute to visual direction.
• Present concepts and copy alongside a Creative Director, explaining your ideas and incorporating feedback.
• Exhibit a drive for learning, self-improvement and growth.
• Work within a multi-disciplinary team to communicate project statuses, extend concepts across media and develop digital content ideas.
