Social / Digital Copywriter

The Social/Digital Copywriter (partnered with a Social/Digital Art Director) will concept and execute unexpected, insightful, and compelling creative ideas, primarily within social and digital platforms.

The right individual for this role will have an exceptional portfolio of work that displays superior content creation experience and conceptual problem-solving skills, strong ability to write captivating headlines and copy across a wide variety of tactical applications (social, web, email, etc.), and platform-first thinking as it pertains to creating engaging work that feels native to the social channels it’s created within. An avid student of social media platforms, culture, and trends, this individual will not only be adept and nimble in developing creative ideas but will also be proficient and resourceful in bringing those ideas to life through static design, animation, and live-action production, consistently delivering on quick-turn timelines.

At Cactus, we value your personality and character just as much as your work, so to join our team you’ll need to be someone who is unwaveringly collaborative, tenaciously solution-oriented, and contagiously optimistic – someone who embraces big challenges and strives to turn every project into something great. 

We’re also looking for a Social/Digital Art Director, so if you have a creative partner or a friend who you’d like Cactus to consider for that role, please share our open job post with them.
