About Saylor

Saylor is an LA-based creative agency for entertainment brands and brands who seek to entertain. We are an office filled with passionate people who love to work together to develop authentic, sharable content that inspires fans across the internet. We represent a wide range of clients including Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Hulu, Paramount+, and more.

We’re a close-knit team of creatives who value collaboration, quality of work, innovation, and most importantly: being social. In the office, we aim to create a supportive environment where individuals are encouraged to work together to problem-solve for our clients. 

Position Overview

Saylor seeks an innovative, sharp Freelance Copywriter with experience in social media copywriting, content strategy, and creative development to join the Creative direction team. The ideal candidate will be exceedingly creative, collaborative, strategic, and obsessed with social media and marketing trends. This role will support the Associate Creative Director and Creative Direction team in shaping the creative efforts on pitches, accounts, and brand and marketing campaigns. This person will be responsible for leading group brainstorms, ideating independently, developing concepts, crafting voice and tone, and writing scripts and copy.

The Copywriter will take the lead on certain initiatives, with some collaboration and oversight from the Associate Creative Director (ACD) to maintain alignment and consistency throughout the process. Externally, you'll be client facing and will help ensure their vision is executed. Internally, you'll collaborate across all teams at Saylor — partnering with Strategy, inspiring Accounts, and working closely with Creative Production (Design/Editorial) to elevate individual assets and entire campaigns. Throughout, you'll ensure all creative aligns with strategy and brand voice through copy, design, and execution.

About You

A seemingly bottomless pit of fresh ideas, you have a deep well of references and experiences to pull from and you always have your thumb on the pulse of what’s clicking with audiences on social media. You’re a natural wordsmith who can adapt to various tones and brand voices, finding unique ways for copy to stand out and take up meaningful space. You’re not afraid to share your ideas in a room — whether it’s with internal teams or clients — and you enthusiastically build up your teammate’s ideas through radical collaboration. Flexibility and a positive attitude come naturally to you, and you create open and symbiotic environments conducive to generating ideas without ego or shallow judgement. Curiosity, kindness, empathy, and playfulness are core tenets that you value and freely dispense.

You feel confident and comfortable with the intricacies of entertainment marketing, with experience supporting or guiding high-profile creative projects from ideation to execution. You love a pitch deck and working with Creative, Strategy, and Accounts to create a cohesive, unique campaign strategy. You feel secure talking with clients about their vision and needs, offering creative solutions that make them want to come back for more best-in-class campaigns.

You may have been any of the following in your career: a well-rounded copywriter who always had kick-ass ideas, a social media strategist who deeply understood production, a community manager who found fresh ways to connect to fandoms,  a creative producer who was always one step ahead with big ideas or some combination of it all!
