Junior Copywriter

As a junior copywriter your job is about enthusiasm, learning, and volume. You’re mastering the basics of your craft, and swinging for the fences on every assignment. You’re still basking in the glory of everything you don’t know and asking all kinds of questions. You’re learning how an agency works, what it takes to think up a great idea, what it takes to sell a great idea, and what it takes to produce an idea. At this point in your career you may have to work a lot harder than other people in the department to come up with less work. That’s ok, but that means you have to be a happy hard worker who embraces the joy of failure. You probably take care of a lot of “smaller assignments” but your job is to make those smaller assignments work just a little bit harder than they would have if you weren’t on them. You take feedback well, and ask questions when you don’t understand it. You jump at opportunities. You do all of those things and also remember that to make great work you have to push just a little bit harder.
