Full Time Job
BuzzFeed is seeking an Associate Creative to create custom branded content on BuzzFeed.com and social platforms. We're seeking a creative-minded writer who is passionate about both digital media and native advertising. Candidates should be interested in what makes someone share, how people communicate online, and solving challenges for BuzzFeed's brand partners.
Primarily, this position is focused on writing and creating exciting advertising that is just as delightful, interesting, original, and engaging as BuzzFeed's editorial content. The ideal candidate is comfortable being involved with every part of the creative process, from generating ideas using a variety of formats for a wide range of brands to participating in client-facing communication and meetings and handling revisions with ease and a smile.
In addition to writing experience, a well-rounded creative background and variety of interests - whether it's a college course on video editing, an Instagram full of comics, or an iPhone game you coded for fun - is a major plus. Mostly we're looking for people from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life who are optimistic, energetic, and imaginative to join a fun and growing team at the vanguard of an incredibly exciting global shift in advertising.
This position is based in our New York office. We offer competitive compensation and a stock option program.
Responsibilities:
• Develop creative concepts that meet the objectives of our prospective partners
• Brainstorm and work collaboratively across the Creative department to generate proactive ideas to pitch to our partners
• Pitch ideas, both internally and directly to clients
• Work closely with our sales and account management teams to ensure the brand's needs are met through clear and open communication
• Make excellent, original creative content that will delight our clients and BuzzFeed's enormous global audience
• Work on tight deadlines across multiple teams to deliver work that exceeds expectations every time
• Think big to continue growing BuzzFeed's native advertising strategy across platforms, formats, and audiences.
Requirements:
• 1–3 years creative agency and/or editorial experience
• A proven ability to create engaging original content online
• A passion for innovative advertising with the ability to write, edit, and champion ideas for brands
• An interest in and deep knowledge of the social web, including experience making things for a variety of social networks
• The ability to work as part of a team under tight deadlines
• A positive, enthusiastic, curious disposition - no haters
Interested candidates should include the following when applying:
• Your résumé
• A couple of short paragraphs on why you're an awesome fit for this role
• Writing samples and/or links to published works
• Any relevant links showcasing your portfolio of work (whether it be professional or personal website/blog, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)
