Copywriter - Advertising Agency (Automotive)

Tampa, FL

Join our award-winning A-Team! 

Ready to produce exceptional results with exceptional people?  Get in touch, we would love to get to know you. 

Affinitiv is the largest provider of end-to-end, data-driven marketing and software solutions exclusively focused on the automotive customer lifecycle. Backed by 20+ years of automotive and marketing expertise, we pride ourselves on being the go-to experts in the industry. Not only do we work with over 6,500 dealerships and every major manufacturer in the country, we’re well-versed in OEM standards and the intricacies of a dealership or group’s local business.

As a Copywriter, you'll back up the copy team on everything — TV, radio, print, digital, outdoor, direct mail — and jump in to support the Agency whenever a campaign needs an extra hand. We need someone who thinks outside the box, turns around creative content fast, and still hits every client and manufacturer guideline along the way. Retail advertising has its own rhythm, and getting fluent in it is part of the job from day one. You'll be collaborating constantly and working tight deadlines daily — so bring your A-game and your team spirit.

 **A note before you apply:** We read writing samples before we read resumes. Please include a link to your portfolio or writing samples — applications without one won't be considered.

Position Responsibilities:

- Write automotive campaign concepts, TV and radio scripts, email blasts, P-Max copy, press releases, landing page copy and social ads — across a huge range of tones and formats
- Pitch creative concepts and campaign ideas, not just execute someone else's
- Take a creative brief and turn it into copy that fits the client's voice, not a generic template
- Work closely with the copy, art, account, and production teams to get a job from concept to finished execution
- Partner with Traffic to keep projects on schedule
- Show up for staff meetings, brainstorms, and the department's day-to-day — this is a team sport

Position Requirements:

- 3–5 years of copywriting experience in marketing or advertising
- Bachelor's degree in English, Communications, or a related field
- A portfolio that shows range — you can write funny, you can write urgent, you can write "brand-compliant," and you know the difference
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects under tight, recurring deadlines
- A thick-enough skin to take feedback well and use it
- Comfort with Mac OS and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- **Spanish language proficiency is a strong plus** — we serve a large and growing Spanish-speaking customer base, and bilingual copy and proofing skills are increasingly part of this role

Work from Here

At Affinitiv, we have the best of both worlds.   Our team members have embraced remote work and our Work from Here program allows for remote working and the utmost flexibility while keeping in person collaborating thriving in a safe work environment.   Our Work from Here approach gives team members a choice to work on campus or remote, leaders can hold in person or virtual team meetings to collaborate and cultivate relationships.

Affinitiv knows you have interests outside of work, which is why we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision and 401K effective day 1 just to name a few.   We also offer generous PTO so you can enjoy off time with family and friends.   

At Affinitiv, we celebrate diversity, equality, and an inclusive environment.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
