Copywriter

Are you a seasoned copywriter with five or more years at an ad agency or branding firm, ready for a change? You have a proven track record of developing diverse campaigns, producing everything from anthemic shorts to efficient social videos. Your experience spans writing everything from brand taglines to secondary web page copy. At Butler you’ll apply those skills to creating impactful campaigns and developing brands for nonprofits, civic institutions, and companies that steward, protect, and promote the natural world. It turns out nature needs a great copywriter, too.

About Butler

We are a brand development studio helping companies, nonprofits and civic institutions design communications that steward, protect and promote the natural world.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a copywriter with 5-7 years of experience in a brand studio, ad agency or other creative communications environment. You will need to be a branding problem solver who cares about the strategy behind the work as much as the work itself. Your portfolio should demonstrate an ability to write for a wide variety of mediums and deliverables—including ad campaigns (social/digital/print/collateral), high-level brand messaging, taglines, websites, films, presentation decks, and brand guidelines. You will have experience with design-thinking practices and be someone who wants to work with other writers, designers, collaboration managers, founders, clients (and even their customers). Because we believe great ideas come from anywhere and anyone, and our whole way of working is built on being radically collaborative, open and generative.

Core Responsibilities

• Creative Execution: Conceptualizing, writing, and producing a wide variety of copy deliverables across all mediums, including high-level brand messaging, ad campaigns, websites, and video scripts.
• Collaboration: Being a radical collaborator by working closely with other writers, designers, collaboration managers, founders, clients, and occasionally their customers.

• Quality Control & Accuracy: Maintaining quality control for all written deliverables, ensuring flawless grammar, punctuation, and fact-checking. This includes rigorous proofreading and adhering to established brand voice and style guides.

• Process Participation: Participating in our three main phases (Define, Create, Express), including participating in blitzes (collaborative design-thinking workshops) and providing writing support for materials used in them.

Skills and Experience

• Proven ability to write for a wide variety of mediums and deliverables, including brand messaging, taglines, websites, films, and ad campaigns (social/digital/print/collateral).

• A good presenter and a great proofreader, with meticulous attention to detail.

• A team player and strong communicator.

• Highly adaptable, organized, and a proactive problem solver.

• Open to both receiving and giving candid, thoughtful feedback.

• Commitment to never stop learning and always pushing to make the work better.

• Experience with design-thinking practices.
