Senior Copywriter

Barkley


Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Kansas City, MO
Contract type: Full time


We need a Senior Art Director to be part of a creative team in our Kansas City (HQ) office.

To get this job you should love to write and have experience concepting projects big and small and bring a desire to make things just crazy enough to work.

You'll have the opportunity to work on everything from broadcast to digital to social to new biz to rebranding to positioning work. You'll get to thrive in a growing office with an energetic, hungry team of nice, driven, big-hearted, and huge-motored people.

In addition to coming up with great ideas, we also like our writers to be able to write! So show us clever headlines, sharp copy, poetry night side projects, witty Yelp reviews, etc.

Being a Senior at Barkley isn't a matter of tenure. This is about the quality of your ideas.

Seniors are creatives who have mastered their individual areas of craft. They can write headlines, create comps, build a verbal and visual vocabulary for any idea, and deliver on briefs consistently. But the thing that makes them seniors is that they create IDEAS that make their team, the department, and the world jealous.

Their work is regularly lauded in staff meetings, and press and is on our list of award show entrants each year.

They are idea machines. And their craft is superb. They bring new, interesting ideas to the table every day and have a finger on the pulse of culture.

As part and parcel of this, they are great at presenting ideas.

They know how to build an incredible presentation and then how to deliver it both internally and to the client to make them see the greatness of their idea.

Responsibilities:

  • Be based out of our Kansas City, MO office with a hybrid schedule (will provide relocation assistance to candidates interested in moving to the Kansas City area).
  • Gain a thorough understanding of the client's business and industry.
  • Develop creative strategies and ideas that are innovative and that sell.
  • Concept and execute advertising consistent with the agreed-upon strategy.
  • Develop original visual concepts.
  • Seek out and work with outside suppliers (photographers, illustrators, etc.) and work closely with broadcast and print productions to accurately estimate and produce work.
  • Under the direction of the Creative Director, see all work through completion on time and on budget.
  • Work productively and harmoniously as a teammate with Art Directors and producers who share responsibility for a given product.
  • Present creative materials to clients, as needed.
  • Review proofs, rough cuts, etc. for accuracy before final production.

Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated ability to think creatively and provide marketable solutions in conceiving, developing, and producing tactics.
  • Bachelor's degree or industry equivalent years of experience required.
  • 3+ years preferred related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
