Senior Copywriter

Hi. Here's the deal.

We need a seasoned writer. This doesn't mean you know what a dangling participle is. It means you generate ideas ad nauseum. You write with a craft that makes Art Directors swoon, and other Writers insanely jealous. And you can speak to your ideas, in front of people, selling the hell out of them to our clients, whether in person or over Zoom. And you win awards. And your agency wins awards. And we all party on a yacht in Cannes. Get the picture?

A little about us.

VIA is a 31-year-old, award-winning agency in Portland, Maine. We love our winters, but nothing beats our summers. Our office was the first library in Maine, built in 1853. It's old. It's haunted. But it's definitely not a cube farm. We don't work on Fridays. You heard me. We have crazy good benefits. We don't have a pool table — we have a bocce court — a cutthroat bocce league with teams like The Boccenistas and Deboccery. We also send people on random “Go-Dos” which means their name is pulled from a hat and they have to go do things — like go to Burning Man or to the North Pole. Seriously, both happened.

Above all we do killer work for national brands, contributing to their success as much as our own. If this sounds like your jam, hit us up.

Who You Are

  • You have a minimum of 5 years experience creating and executing big ideas at an agency (external or internal)
  • You have particular experience in creating social media content, from video to posts, getting things done in a scrappy but memorable way.
  • You are conceptual, passionate and opinionated
  • You are restless and want autonomy to do the kind of work you always wanted to do or somehow lost along the way
  • You are kind
  • You are compassionate and believe in the team and what we do
  • Ferocious curiosity, invention, imagination and originality in everything you do
  • You are a lover of all things creative, with inspiration that comes from well outside the walls of advertising

This is an on-site position with the option to work from home 1-2 days per week.
VIA has an awesome benefits package with unlimited time off, medical, dental, vision and disability.
