We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.
Edelman is looking for an ACD, Copywriter to help us create work that earns attention and drives culture forward. Our creative teams are behind some of the most talked-about campaigns in the industry — work that lives at the intersection of earned, social, and integrated storytelling. Whether it’s building platforms that address real human needs, creating culturally relevant moments that spark conversation, or developing content that resonates across channels, our work is designed to break through and make an impact.
At Edelman, it’s not enough to be culturally relevant — we aim to shape the conversations happening around us.
What kind of work will you do?
Our work doesn’t fit neatly into traditional agency boxes. One day you might be developing a brand anthem rooted in human insight, and the next you’re concepting a culturally relevant activation designed to earn attention, followed by crafting social content that feels native to the platforms where audiences actually engage.
If you’re excited by ideas that go beyond traditional advertising — the kind that earn media, spark conversation, and show up in culture — you’ll be in the right place.
What we’re looking for
To succeed in this role, you’ll bring a passion for people, a strong understanding of the earned & social landscape, and a desire to create work that solves real problems. You should be comfortable operating across disciplines and contributing to an environment where collaboration, curiosity, and creativity are at the core.
