Copywriter Intern

Can you see yourself creating original copy for some of the most ambitious brands in the world? Do you instinctively know how to take the shortest path to the point in your writing? Are you a hungry, ambitious communicator with a voracious love of the written word? If so, you may be the Copywriter Intern we’re looking for!

What will your day look like?

As a Copywriting Intern you’ll work alongside our staff of talented writers, learning the craft as you write for multiple global clients, gaining a thorough insight into their businesses. Your primary job will be to create compelling copy for Loyalty, CRM, and other communication channels.

You will:

• Write original copy for emails, push notifications, and paid media, including eye-catching subject lines and preheaders
• Brainstorm communication and copy ideas with the team
• Revise copy based on internal and client feedback
• Play an active role in projects, from initial idea generation to execution and approval – closely liaising with CRM comms strategists on assignments.
• Study insights or reports to give your copy a strong conceptual foundation
• Lean on brand playbooks and tone of voice guides to create copy aligned with clients’ brand values.

Who are you going to work with

As a member of the Experience Communications & Design team, our Copywriter Intern will write and edit content for a variety of projects (e.g., email programs with dynamic and static copy) working closely with communication strategists, CX/UX designers, data scientists, tech developers and project managers to brainstorm ideas and articulate messaging.

You will interact with interesting and kind colleagues in a setting that prioritizes collaboration and camaraderie. We come from diverse backgrounds and have unique skill-sets, so you’ll get plenty of opportunities to apply your expertise.

An important part of being an employee in VML MAP is also to be a culture bearer and someone who enjoys being surrounded by amazing colleagues. Therefore, we believe it is essential that you can work on-site most of your time.

What do you bring to the table?

You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a high-volume workload often requiring short turnaround times. Your conscientious and solution-oriented mindset enables you to digest complex information and translate strategy and insights into persuasive copy. You value flawlessness and careful editing, ensuring all deliveries are spotless and effective.

Required skills and qualifications:

• Pursuing a bachelors degree in Communications/Advertising, English, Journalism or equivalent program
• Excellent communication skills and flawless writing talents
• Ability to work independently or with a team to meet deadlines

What to expect of the recruitment process?

You will meet different people from the Experience Design & Communications teams throughout the interview process. Before the second round, we ask candidates to complete a short writing assignment, done at home at your convenience.
