Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 
At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.
Edelman US Health is looking for an ACD/Copywriter (and if you have and ACD/Art Director you love working with, we’d love to meet them too!) to help us make work that’s packed with substance and purpose. The kind of work that’s designed to answer actual problems while making our industry peers jealous.
Whether we’re teaming up with global health brands to launch mind blowing medical innovations, creating a groundbreaking app to help runners with allergies find pollen-free running routes, or partnering with Jeff Bridges to give the immunocompromised community hope, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It’s not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong ACD Copywriter who can help unlock more of those bold and inspiring ideas.
What kind of creative work will you do? We’re glad you asked. Because our work doesn’t really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there’s no “cookie-cutter” creative brief here. You might be batting around ideas for a :60 anthem in the morning, workshopping AI ideas with our connected experience team led by the amazing Taj Reid (look him up!) around lunch, and brainstorming what if's for the next big activation idea that disrupts culture for good in the afternoon. So, if you’re looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the traditional 30-second spot (though those chops could come in handy too) – the kind of ideas that end up in the pages of the New York Times and on the Cannes shortlist – you’ll be in good company here.
To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it’s why so many talented team members choose to stay with us. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another and encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our positive culture.ResponsibilitiesWork in partnership with an Associate Creative Director, Art Director, and with the direction of creative leadership to concept and plan execution of integrated campaigns and programs across a wide range of media and platforms, especially social, digital, video, experiences, and content.Concept and write campaign ideas for client projects and new business pitches that are earned-first and social by design.Work in concert with a wide range of specialties including account, strategy, project management, and influencers.Develop tactics that bring creative concepts to life and achieve program objectives.Manage multiple jobs simultaneously, managing and providing direction to other team members as needed.Work closely with a project manager and production partners to schedule projects and coordinate production.Prepare and present client creative presentations and drive client approval process.Work effectively with external vendors and internal colleagues to complete projects within timeframe and budgetBasic QualificationsAt least 6 years of experience in marketing, advertising or social mediaPassion and genuine interest in making a difference in the Health and Wellness space — someone who is pumped about making non-cringy, amazing, award-winning, jealous-worthy health work!Stays in tune and in front of culture, social media, and new techA Bachelor’s degree, preferably in English or related majorThe candidate must have experience in copywriting and writing direction in a supporting, individual and team capacity, in all mediumsExperience managing day-to-day changes at every level of detail and handling them with a team oriented, entrepreneurial spiritPresentation experience and pizzazz (yes, we just used the word “pizzazz”)Experience maintaining client contact as neededAbility to prioritize and manage work, adhering to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environmentPreferred QualificationsThe candidate must have experience in copywriting and writing direction in a supporting, individual and team capacity, in all mediums.  Experience managing day-to-day changes at every level of detail and handling them with a team oriented, entrepreneurial spirit Experience maintaining client contact as needed  Ability to prioritize and manage work, adhering to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment $86,000 - $133,000 a yearAn employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, travel requirements, revenue-based metrics, any contractual agreements, and business or organizational needs.
