Job Description

About the Role

You've crafted headlines, taglines, social posts, calls to action, website blurbs, and countless other bundles of words with a smile, a nod, and the occasional pained grin. You're a copywriter who can flip between English and Spanish sin perder el ritmo. You love what you do so much, you can do it in two languages. You have enough experience to have a few battle scars, but not enough that you're cynical. You keep an eye on the business as well as your craft. You get excited about great ideas and fight to make them come to life. If that sounds like you, let's talk. As an on-call/freelancer with our team, you might work zero to 30 hours per week, depending on our workload. We're the DC metro area's best-kept secret. We develop integrated marketing campaigns for clients and causes that make the world a better place, and we've won a few (armfuls of) industry awards to boot. Help us get even better.

Key Responsibilities

Write copy for a wide range of media, including social, web, print, radio, and video.
Support public and private sector clients who tackle issues like energy efficiency, climate change, child welfare, and more.
Think strategically while developing ideas and concepts for projects and campaigns.
Make deadlines. Seems obvious, but it's a thing here.

Requirements

5+ years of experience as a copywriter, preferably within an agency environment to include compelling copy in both English and Spanish, across multiple channels.
A bachelor's degree in marketing, advertising, or communications, or equivalent experience in a related field.
Cultural nuance and linguistic accuracy in transcreated content—not just translated.
Be able to collaborate with strategists and designers to maintain tone and intent across languages.
Fluency in Spanish and English, with demonstrated experience writing for both.
Portfolio must include Spanish-language samples or transcreated campaigns.
Excellent organizational skills, with solid attention to detail.
Strong verbal, interpersonal, and written communication skills.
Ability to juggle multiple projects in a fast-paced studio environment.
Experience working successfully in team environments, including clients.
