At VaynerMedia, we’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of micro-content. Our copywriters serve a slightly different role than more traditional “digital creative types,” but thankfully we’ll never use the term “digital ninja.”
Who are you?
You’re an ultimate team player who will create value in any situation. You understand creative problem solving and have a passion for storytelling on every platform. You’re an adaptable idea person who understands that good ideas can come from anywhere, and have the ability to guide a brainstorm. You’re highly observant and write because you love to. You can execute quickly and manage your time well. You’re aware of your strengths and your weaknesses. You’re cool in the face of a challenge. You'll be working exclusively within the digital realm (no print work,) so the portfolio you submit should reflect this. However, we also love seeing your overall solutions and ideas throughout your book.
