About Us
Codeword is a communication design agency that helps brands create breakthrough comms, content, and community experiences.
We’re a fast-moving team of writers, editors, designers, strategists, videographers, PR mavens, and even a few traditional marketers.
Our incredible roster of big and small tech clients trust us to launch their startups, run multi-channel campaigns, grow their user bases, and lead comprehensive PR and marketing initiatives. We’re storytellers and brand engineers, and we love big ideas that serve a real purpose.
Codeword is a remote-first agency, though we have physical offices in NYC and SF that we won’t make you visit.
About You:
- 5+ years of experience in advertising or branding, specializing in technology topics, including but not limited to consumer tech, developer products/communities, gaming, UX, AI, and/or gadgets
- You live on tech blogs and would describe as yourself as very online
- You’re comfortable writing clear, creative copy for a range of audiences, from early adopters to developers to normies
- You have top-notch writing and concepting skills, in formats including positioning statements, taglines, brand naming, social media, web copy, video scripts, and brand manifestos
- You’re not shy about sharing your opinion with your team and clients (without being a jerk)
About This Role:
The copywriter will report to Creative Director Codi Hauka. You’ll be part of a team of editors, writers, strategists, designers, and account people tapped to work with one of the most influential companies in tech, on some of the most high-profile products they’re building. You’ll support a wide range of creative projects from ideation to execution, explaining complex (and pretty cool) tech to consumers and developers.
In this role, you’ll be working closely with clients, ideating and pitching creative concepts, and executing across some of our most tech-forward creative projects. Knowing how to turn the dry and technical into something that jerks people out of their chairs will go a long way.
Please note that we don’t do a lot of traditional ad campaigns. You’ll build your book here with super strategic work for a big buzzy brand, but if you’re looking to win a bunch of awards, this miiiight not be the right role for you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Developing high-quality creative content across a range of formats
- Collaborating with colleagues in Design, Account, and Strategy
- Honing your inner technology anthropologist to become an expert on your client’s audience
- Pitching on-trend (and ahead-of-the-trend!) creative ideas
- Navigate demanding turnaround schedules for high-stakes copy
- Collaborating with clients and product teams to develop copy that nails their key points and makes them go “wow” [insert Owen Wilson meme]
Your Compensation:
People — that’s you! — are the heart of our business, and we believe a culture of pay transparency benefits both Codeword and our team members’ careers. For this role, we’re looking to pay $85K-128K, depending on experience.
