Reed Words is a verbal branding agency based in London, New York, and Singapore. We make brands and businesses stronger through language. If you’re a talented writer with an interest in brand strategy, we want to hear from you.
What we do
Wherever words meet brands, we’re there:
Tone of voice, messaging, naming, brand strategy, OOH, training, UX, content design, packaging, films, websites, social, internal comms, white papers, fundraising, brochures, digital campaigns…
Smart, creative, and effective writing for exciting clients in every sector, from Bang & Olufsen to Byron Burger to the British Council. This includes brand strategy, naming, brand voice, campaigns, packaging, print, and UX and digital copy.
What you’ll do
You’ll join as one of our Writers. You’ll work in one of our writing teams, alongside two Senior Writers and our Executive Creative Director.
We’re looking for good all-rounders. People who are as comfortable writing taglines as they are corporate websites.
We’re an agile team, where writers run their projects day-to-day. That means you’ll be dealing directly with clients, scoping out briefs, managing your time, and making sure your projects stay on track. More junior writers don’t necessarily need to have done all of this before, but we need to be confident you can grow into it.
We’re looking for a writer with previous experience of writing for brands – at another agency, in-house, or as a freelancer. This isn’t the right role for someone just starting out.
Why us?
This is a chance to work in an environment where words are king, side by side with other writers who will challenge you and help you develop your skills.
Diversity
The creative sector needs to become more diverse, fast. And it’s on all of us to do our part.
We’re particularly keen to hear from writers whose backgrounds are underrepresented in our industry. We’re actively working with organisations who are tackling this problem, to get this ad in front of more people and make our recruitment pool as diverse as possible.
How to apply
You can read more about our application process here.
But in a nutshell: we take this seriously. We don’t hire new writers very often, so it’s important we find the best person for our team. It’s also important that you feel we’re right for you too, so you’ll have plenty of time to get to know us along the way.
Our application process involves three stages:
1. Send your CV and portfolio to london@reedwords.com – don’t worry about a cover letter
2. Join a 15-minute call with one of our Creative Directors – we’ll ask you questions about your portfolio, and why you want to join Reed Words
3. Complete a test creative brief, then join an in-person interview to talk through your approach (and wider experience)
If you make it through to the final stage, that’s a good sign – we don’t normally interview more than five or so candidates.
The whole process usually takes around six weeks.
