About us

At bandstand, we use the power of creativity to solve business problems. Breaking barriers, simplifying the complex, and flipping the narrative, we use our approach of rebellious inquiry + creative collaboration to ignite change for ambitious brands and challenge traditions with intent.

Fiercely independent, bold, and sharp-minded, we blend strategic insight with creative execution across brand, design, advertising, and content; we create work that drives meaningful change for brands ready to make an impact.

We’re sector agnostic, although we do have greater depth of experience in place & destination, travel, energy & utilities, infrastructure, education & students.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a Midweight Creative Copywriter to join our creative team for a 12-month, fixed-term contract, for 3 days per week.

We sort of hope it goes without saying that you’ll be a passionate word-nerd with a fondness for stuff like Oxford commas, silly puns and long copy ads, as well as big, brave, brilliant creative ideas. You’ll have a willingness to dive in and give stuff a go, as we answer all your questions and help you grow as a Creative.

You’ll work on campaigns, brand pieces, tactical executions, positioning and naming. Whether you’re tackling web copy, property brochures, digital banners, big, sexy billboards or film scripts, you’ll be positive, driven, have a can-do attitude and thrive in working as part of a team.

The right candidate will have:

• A minimum of 3 years in a similar role within a creative agency
• Ability to think creatively and develop a core idea across layers of messaging and applications
• First things first – come up with big, gusty creative ideas
• Experience in writing strong, succinct, grammatically correct copy
• Craft engaging copy that varies in tone and style to reflect our different clients
• Understand how to write for different channels and audience groups
• Ability to meet deadlines and work under pressure
• Confident communicator when it comes to presenting your work
• Keen to learn and take on new challenges
• Natural curiosity and strong research skills
• Easy and enthusiastic collaborator with the creative team and external partners
• Culturally aware
• Edit and proofread your own copy
• Comfortable to work within the Google suite of programmes
• Receive internal and external feedback with humility and gusto
• Respond to client briefs and creative strategies
• Manage your time effectively and understand agency process
• Hold yourself responsible for delivering a high quality of work
• A hunger to do the best work of your career alongside a group of equally passionate people.
