Overview

Porter Novelli is looking for a full-time Senior Copywriter who is a master wordsmith that thrives in using all types of marketing to change behavior. A creative writer who has a proven track record in traditional and nontraditional mediums but still has more to prove. We’re not looking for someone who can just write copy and be grammatically correct, you must be able to think conceptually and beyond the list of deliverables—and be adaptable. This role is ideal for someone who wants to make a positive impact on the audiences we reach while pushing the boundaries and elevating our clients. The primary part of this role involves coming up with creative solutions for government-related issues, however, the position may ask for you to work on consumer and healthcare clients as well.
