Junior Copywriter

This is a Full Time Job

Jr. Copywriter (Contract)

Position Overview

We’re a tight-knit crew who collaborate without ego, stay curious, and always show up for one another. We foster a supportive space where diverse perspectives are celebrated, hierarchy never blocks great ideas, and everyone is empowered to jump in, solve problems, and push creative boundaries together.

About You

A seemingly bottomless pit of fresh social ideas, you have a deep well of references and experiences to pull from and you always have your thumb on the pulse of what’s clicking with audiences on social media. You’re a natural wordsmith who can adapt to various tones and brand voices, finding unique ways for copy to stand out and take up meaningful space. You’re not afraid to share your ideas in a room – whether it’s with internal teams or clients – and you enthusiastically build up and nurture your teammate’s ideas. Flexibility and a positive attitude come naturally to you, and you create open and symbiotic environments conducive to generating ideas without ego or shallow judgement. Curiosity, kindness, empathy, and playfulness are core tenets that you value and freely dispense.

You feel confident and comfortable with the intricacies of entertainment marketing, with experience supporting or guiding high-profile creative projects from ideation to execution. You love a pitch deck and working with Creative, Strategy, and Accounts to create a cohesive, unique campaign strategy. You feel secure talking with clients about their vision and needs, offering creative solutions that make them want to come back for more best-in-class campaigns.

You may have been any of the following in your career: a social media manager with strong audience knowledge, a well-rounded copywriter who always had kick-ass ideas, a community manager who found fresh ways to connect to fandoms, a lingo-obsessed creative producer who was always one step ahead with big ideas or some combination of it all!

This is a full-time role with a salary of $55,000-$75,000, depending on experience. This is a contract position through the end of 2026, with the possibility of extending into a permanent role. We currently are a hybrid agency, working two days per week from Saylor’s office in Echo Park, Los Angeles.
