Sr. Copywriter

We're building the 2026 creative engine at Brunnerand we need a Senior Copywriter who wants in.

You've got 5+ years of agency mileage, big-brand experience, and a book that proves you know the difference between content and culture. You think in platforms, not posts. You're socially fluent, AI-native, and culturally wiredyou understand how culture actually moves, who's driving it, and how to make work that earns a place in it.

You're hungry. You hate coasting. You see constraints as invitations to do something smarter. If this scares you a little and excites you a lot, you're exactly where you belong.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Create Work That Gets Talked About

• Concept and write social-first, culture-tuned ideas that can live everywhere: TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube, OOH, digital, broadcast, experiential, .com.
• Build platform-native concepts born on the channelnot resized for it.
• Turn briefs, insights, and data into sharp creative platforms that drive both buzz and business.
• Ground ideas in real cultural insight. Know who's setting the pace, who the audience is, and why it matters to themnot just what they look like.

Work AI-Native, Not AI-Curious

• Write intelligent prompts across LLMs, generative image, and video modelsnot just to produce output, but to direct, refine, and push toward a creative vision. Prompting is craft.
• Use AI as a core part of your daily workflow: concepting, versioning, testing, polishing.
• Help push AI workflows forward across the departmentbetter prompts, smarter processes, higher craft.
• Treat AI as the turbo, not the driver. Your taste and instincts still lead.

Move at Newsroom Speed

• Jump on briefs, trends, and cultural moments with ideas that feel right now, not six weeks ago.
• Take work from here's the brief to check this out faster than most teams schedule a kickoff.
• Handle multiple projects at once without dropping the craft.

Lead, Mentor & Collab

• Sit in the middle of no-silo collaboration: Creative Directors, Copywriters, Art Directors, Social Creators, Experience Designer, Visual Designers, Video, Account, Media, Data/Performance, Web.
• Give junior creatives direction and feedback that makes the work betternot just different.
• Sell ideas internally and to clients with tight storytelling. If you can't explain it in one clean sentence, it's not ready.

Own The Work from Idea to Drop

• Shape the brief alongside strategydon't just respond to it.
• Write everything: campaign platforms, manifestos, scripts, social copy, UX copy, content series.
• Be hands-on through production and postfrom casting and shoot days to edits and final polish.

Build Your Book & Brunner's Reputation

• Raise your hand for pitches and new business. Bring ideas that win rooms.
• Push for work that gives clients FOMO if they don't buy itand that your peers save, your friends share, and your family brags about.

What Success Looks Like

• Work that gets saved, shared, stitched, dueted, and screenshottedshowing up in decks you didn't make.
• Social-first ideas that scale into integrated platforms: OOH, digital, broadcast, experiential.
• Visible AI impact: faster concepting, smarter versioning, higher craft at speed.
• Clients who trust you with brave ideas and feel FOMO when they hesitate.
• Junior creatives leveling up because of your guidance.
• Award-worthy work, strong case studies, and new business wins.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of agency experience as a Copywriter / Senior Copywriter on integrated campaigns.
• A portfolio that proves you think in platforms, not one-offswith big-brand experience to back it.
• Social & creator fluency: Deep comfort with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, and emerging platforms. You craft ideas that feel creator-native, not brand-adapted.
• AI-native workflow: Regular, opinionated use of AI in your process. You know how it shouldand shouldntbe used in creative.
• Prompt craft: You write prompts the way you write headlineswith intention and specificity. Fluent across LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), generative image models (Midjourney, Firefly, DALL-E), and emerging video gen tools. You use prompting to concept, visualize, and directnot just generate.
• Conceptual horsepower: Insight ? platform ? execution. Tight, modern, surprising. You write ideas that make people say, Damn, thats good.
• Cultural fluency: You understand how culture movesacross communities, subcultures, and lived experiences. You dont just represent people; you know how to speak with them. Lived experience is a leg up.
• Production savvy: You know what it takes to make great work across video, social, OOH, and digital. On-set and post experience required; editing or directing experience is a must.
• Leadership & collaboration: Experience guiding junior creatives and partnering across disciplines.
• Presentation chops: Comfortable in the room or on Zoom, selling bold ideas and handling feedback with zero ego.
