Struck Is…

all about Experience Affinity™.

Sounds a bit jargon-y, we know … but it aptly describes why clients seek us out. We create attention and affection for brands, and it’s more that just wildly creative. It’s entirely measurable — in love, impressions, revenue — and quantified by our new Affinity Index.

Analytics are extremely powerful, but so are our people. A diverse, focused team of thinkers, artists and doers constantly pushing the boundaries for every one of our visionary clients.

We Need…

a copywriter that can craft a clever headline, wax poetic about target audiences, present bold brand manifestos for clients to rally behind and give voice to an entire website. And that’s just on Monday.

The long and short of it is we need someone who can write the long and short of it all.

You Are...

willing to do it all. Traditional, digital, branding… even out-of-left-field “this isn’t even advertising” copy. Especially out-of-left-field “this isn’t even advertising” copy. You’re excited to work with art directors, designers, producers and account leads; anyone that needs your help.

You Have…

• A portfolio showcasing strong copywriting skills across a variety of mediums, as well as an ability to conceive and execute thoughtful creative concepts and long-form.

• A willingness to learn from friends, colleagues and even strangers to better your craft.
• The confidence to say yes to an intimidating project, and the humility to ask for help when you need it.

You Will...

• Direct client interaction with the ability to build relationships and understand client vision
• Stay resilient through change: continue to dig deep and create outstanding work despite difficult deadlines and client demands
