COPYWRITER
Who You Are
You're a connoisseur of culture but more specifically words. You’ll read anything: the back of a pasta box, all text in TikToks, your cousin’s new favorite book, fabric care labels, quippy airport signage, etc. Most importantly, you read ads. Even banner ads. Even billboards. You love building tiny universes out of letters and sounds, and you're hungry to continue to hone your craft. You are a true blue copywriter, and we're looking for someone like you.
Who We Are
Madwell is a Brooklyn-based creative collective built to disrupt the traditional agency model. Why? Because we believe successful marketing can be anything. And we love that. We were founded in 2010 in Bushwick, Brooklyn and still call that colorful, creative neighborhood home. (We also call Denver home—that’s where you’ll find our sister office.) We believe that wild creativity can live happily alongside a laser-focus on results, and we consistently work with a wide range of clients including cosmetics, telcom, spirits, and oh so much more.
What You’ll Do
So what might you do here as a writer? Well, the sky’s the limit. Here are just a few very real assignments our writers have tackled and loved:
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Madwell Values
Our Diversity Commitment
The stress of job searching can make you wonder if you’re enough. Studies have even shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs when they don’t meet every qualification. We believe that you ARE enough, and that it’s okay not to meet every requirement.
At Madwell, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. If you’re excited to work with us but not sure you check every box, apply anyway! You may be just right for this role or other roles.
Salary Range: $70,000 - $90,000
* This is a hybrid role based out of our NYC office, you must be located within commuting distance of Brooklyn, NY to be considered for this role. This role requires the candidate to be in the Brooklyn office 3 times a week*
