About the position

Mustache, part of the Daniel J. Edelman Holdings (DJE) family of companies, is seeking a talented Copywriter to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be responsible for creating groundbreaking, social-first campaigns for one of the world's leading tech brands. We are looking for someone who has a keen eye for social trends and can conceptualize, create, and execute ideas at the speed of culture. You will be part of a diverse group of creatives who are dedicated to shifting culture through innovative work, such as Good Humor x RZA's new take on the ice cream jingle, eBay's Drive-Thru Authentication Station, and the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog. If you aspire to create ideas that capture attention and end up in major publications like the NY Times, The Verge, and Reddit, or if you aim to win prestigious industry awards like the Webby's and One Show, Mustache is the right agency for you. As a Copywriter, you will be expected to bring your passion for pop culture, technology, and social media into your work. You should be well-versed in platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Threads, and be able to take an idea from concept to client presentation, and quickly to people's feeds. We are not looking for filler content; we want to create fun, witty, and unexpected work that stands out in the earned space. If you consider yourself a maker or creator, that is a plus. You will need to have strong conceptual skills that can adapt to various formats, from campaign videos to earned activations. You will be joining a collaborative, curious, and kind team of creatives who are eager to push boundaries and create impactful work.
