Director, Brand & Growth

The Role
 
We are looking for a Copywriter to touch every piece of the creative process and help develop culture-first work as part of the NY creative team. From conception to production, you’ll be a steward of storytelling for our brand partners, bringing ideas to life through myriad formats and styles. The ideal candidate understands the fundamentals of the written word, and strives to make clever, original things, all while collaborating with teammates across functions and departments, working most closely with an Art Director partner. 
We’re seeking someone who is dedicated to making innovative work that stirs shit up, across the advertising industry and culture at large. The ideal candidate should have experience with integrated campaign work and bring holistic thinking to executions.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is ready to become a Spoon - to give a damn, try anything, and enjoy the people they are working with. This team is based in the New York office and works in a hybrid fashion with in-office work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
