What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Copywriter position at Wunderman Thompson (DBA VML)?
At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.
Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150 offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences. Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.
At VMLY&R, we create connected brands. We resist the usual ways of seeing, doing and thinking -
harnessing creativity, technology and culture - to reimagine the entire connected consumer
experience. Our goal? To create work that becomes part of people's lives, to drive value for our clients
and, in the best of cases, to impact the world.
Our writers have blog followers and stand-up comedy fans. They've written children's books and some
books that children should never read. They author long-form copy and snappy one-liners. Every
VMLY&R writer has a 360-degree skill set, which is something that very few agency writers can claim.
They see the possibilities of the written word all around them. If that sounds like you too, VMLY&R just
may be the place for you.
We know this is a great place, and others know it too. In fact, we've been voted as one of the 25 best
places to work in America three times and have partnered with brands around the world. And with two
decades under our belt, you'd be correct to guess our trophy case is pretty full as well.
As part of the WPP Group, VMLY&R offers one of the best overall compensation packages in the
