We’re looking for a digitally-focussed Creative Strategist to work across Collective’s accounts and on New Business pitches.

Wanted: Conceptual Copywriter

The role:
We’re looking for a middle-weight/senior conceptual copywriting genius (5 years experience +) to work across all of Collective’s clients.

Summary:
This Conceptual Copywriter position is a key creative role within the business. It is also fairly unique within the industry. As you’d expect, we’re looking for someone who can deliver copy across Collective’s range of accounts, and work with Designers and Art Directors to brainstorm and conceptualise ideas for existing and new clients. You’d also help mentor and inspire more junior members of the copy team. But, most importantly, we require a writer with a real strategic focus. We’re looking for an incisive and intelligent thinker who can input into the wider Creative Intelligence Group – comprising Collective’s strategy, analytics and creative functions.

The role requires a strong understanding of both established and emerging technologies (very specifically in the mobile and social media spheres), exceptional copywriting skills, unbounded curiosity, and a passion for delivering only the very best creative ideas.

The successful candidate will be a digital native who has worked (or is still working) as part of a Copywriter/Art Director creative team in an established agency but who now wants to spread their wings in a more flexible environment where they can have greater influence on the creative product, work with a wider range of people, and really show the world what they can do.

Although we are asking a great deal of this person, the reward for the successful applicant will be to be fast-tracked to a very senior creative position within the agency within the next 18-months to two years.

This is a revenue generation role (80% of the time) reporting into the Creative Director. Read more…

Best of, with Bianca #4

Hello, and welcome to 2012. It’s almost the end of January, it’s not (that) cold outside, and pay day is really, really soon. Hoorah!

1. “I see you baby…”

January is a bit rubbish. It’s post party season and everyone is all ‘No thanks, I am not drinking’ or ‘Nah, I’m on a diet’.

January is hard enough without all this nonsense. Enter Nike Fuel. The wristband that counts everything. And although the technology and idea are not the first of their kind, this promotional video does a very good job. It even convinced me that moving looks like a lot of fun.
