Funny, Silly, Big Concept thinker - Senior Copywriter required.
(12 month mat leave cover).
Being a creative at McCann Manchester.
When everybody else did tearjerkers at Christmas, we stole the season and the nations’ hearts with a 7p carrot. When other bakery brands slapped the word ‘protein’ on their baked goods and called it a day, we launched an active wear collection that holds your snack while you get stacked. When the fashion industry got more unrelatable by the day, we held up a mirror to everyday life and its struggles.
Not many agencies have bagged Cannes Lions, D&AD Pencils, and a whole cabinet of international awards recently either. Few have their own studios. Their own editing suites. Their own sound booths. And very few agencies have their own pool beside their Cheshire mansion office space and an office in the new Bonded Warehouse in the city centre.
How many agencies work on their network’s biggest clients like L’Oréal, Mastercard, and Microsoft? And how many get up to mischief on their own client roster, like Aldi, Warburtons, McCain, Matalan and Kayak? Working across everything from the biggest telly ad of the year (literally), all the way down to a viral TikTok that gives our brands their claim to fame. Every billboard, every Instagram Poll, every Facebook Live is given the same love and energy.
You might call all of the above different, but we just call it another Tuesday. If you fancy making some of the industry’s most famous, most successful, most envied work, every single day of the week, (yes, weekends are occasionally required, amazing creative work doesn’t just happen you know), then apply below.
The Part You'll Play...
What we need from you
Our minimum criteria
You need a proper good book (creative portfolio of brilliant ideas you've made happen IRL)
You need agency experience.
You need to work across social, TV, digital and everything in between.
You need really sharp craft skills able to write dialogue for TV and radio, long form copy, and big conceptual thinking is essential.
You need to be a brilliant Copywriter.
You need to be a hard-worker.
You need to be a confident presenter.
You need to be a decent person.
What you’ll get from us
Access to some of the world’s best brands
A platform to win the best awards in the biz
A supportive department of more than 30+ other talented creatives
A great salary and benefits package
A properly nice office space with a pool and a mansion (yes, we’re serious)
As a Senior Copywriter You’ll Have Access To…
A competitive financial and benefits package and a culture ideally suited to those who enjoy pursuing personal career development.
The opportunity to work within the largest integrated agency in the UK, in stunning surroundings, with specialist departments including, animation, video production, planning, digital creative and development and social media.
An outstanding working environment that really is hard to beat. Based on an 8 acre site the four main buildings form a campus that includes a subsidised Bistro, free car parking, free access to an onsite gym and an outdoor heated pool (for when the weather gets warmer!)
