ACD / Copywriter

Who You Are:

Are you the type of person who dreams in copy? First off that’s not healthy, second off you might be who we’ve been dreaming about. Can you turn a social post from a certain beer brand that rhymes with WhoDoo Danger into a viral sensation? Do you have the conceptual skills to craft a SuperBowl spot that makes every SuperBowl party stop and say “REWIND IT!” Could you even help make this job description sound better, because writing is hard. If you’re nodding your head (and hopefully smiling), we want to meet you!

As an ACD at Fact & Fiction, you are both conceptual and strategic, a leader and a doer. You are the master of your craft—from narrative storytelling to punchy social headlines to bold brand manifestos for campaigns. You’re in tune with culture and are inspired by human behavior. You love to find a kernel of insight that becomes an impossibly great idea, get in the weeds with your team, and build the damn thing. Ultimately, you inspire those around you, collaborate with clients to tell a story, build a brand, illustrate an idea, and craft top-tier work.

It’s a lot of responsibility. But the payoff is huge. Because we’re not just looking to fill a role. We’re looking for someone who wants to help inspire the development of the creative culture at Fact & Fiction. This position will be exactly what you make of it. If you're ambitious, proactive and collaborative, you’re going to find a home with us.

Who We Are:

At Fact & Fiction, we’re a bunch of thinkers, doers, and all-around fun-makers. Based in both Boulder and Kansas City, we’re in the middle of a Venn diagram of creativity, good humans, and even better clients. We’re on the hunt for an Associate Creative Director who can write their way out of a paper bag (and make it sound hilarious). Because writing your way out of a paper bag sounds very, very difficult. 

What You’ll Do:

• Lead and inspire creative teams to develop big, bold ideas that make people stop scrolling and start sharing.
  
• Write everything from epic Super Bowl spots to snappy social posts. Your words will be seen by millions!
• Inject wit and humor into your copy, making people laugh out loud and maybe even spit out their drink. 
• Work closely with designers, art directors, copywriters, account people, producers, project managers, clients, and all of our office dogs. What’s up Pepper? Good boy Mac! 
• Present your ideas to clients and your team with confidence, charisma, and lots of jokes. 

What You Bring:

• Experience: 7 years in a creative role with a strong focus on copywriting. (your portfolio still matters more than your tenure.)
  
• Creative Thinking: Big ideas that push boundaries and make an impact. You don’t make ads, you make stuff that matters and the work in your book makes people jealous. 
• Writing Skills: You can write in a variety of tones and styles, but you know how to make people laugh.
• Leadership Skills: You shepherd the work from insight to idea to execution and can lead projects with minimal supervision.You approach all challenges with heart. No challenge too big. No project too small.
• Presentation Skills: You can sell your ideas with charm and persuasion.
• Team Spirit: A collaborative attitude and the ability to inspire others.
• Relationship Creator: You have a desire to learn your client's business and ability to foster and maintain client relationships.

Location: Hybrid. Boulder/Denver, Colorado candidates prioritized. 

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Creative Freedom: We believe in big ideas and giving you the space to create.
• Fun Culture: We work hard and play harder. Think team outings, creative brainstorms, and maybe even a trivia night or two.
• Stunning Location: Nestled in Boulder, you’ll have the mountains as your backdrop and inspiration.
• Awesome Perks: From the basics like medical and dental to parental leave and flexible vacation, we've got you and your family covered.

Make sure to upload a portfolio and brief blurb about the funniest thing you’ve ever written. Make us laugh, make us think, and show us you’ve got what it takes to be our next Associate Creative Director.

Let’s create something amazing together. We can’t wait to see what you’ve got!
