Looking for a full time Senior Copywriter with an established track record working on fully integrated advertising and interactive campaigns at established agencies, big or small. You're a "big idea" creative, you understand the difference between concept and execution. And you can translate a big idea concept into a variety of tactics, both digital and traditional (working in tandem). But you are not above taking on limited, tactical assignments, as warranted by clients and budgets. You can write Paid Search Ads just as effectively as a TV or digital campaign. And you can keep your head in more than one client (or industry vertical) on any given day. You can work in fast-paced environments, with quick turnarounds, but you are also detail oriented and rarely drop balls. You multitask. You present persuasively, in person or on conference calls. Clients love you. You have a sense of humor, but you know when to get serious. You are infinitely patient. You know how to deal with clients who are not digitally savvy (but think they are). You know you're good, but you're not arrogant and are able to check your ego at the door. You love the idea of working in Downtown Los Angeles, surrounded by incredible food and a surprisingly lively urban environment. And you know what it's like to work in a small ad shop that is growing quickly, and you can roll with the punches, turn on a dime, and always land on your feet.
Spanish/Billingual Skills a plus! (But you need to fully command English, both written and spoken, and even take responsibility for proofing your own copy)
