Creative Writer
What if we put out a call for someone who is as good identifying efficiencies in processes as they are telling wonderfully creative stories? What if we knew it was possible to use both your left and right brain to deliver great work, and all we needed was someone to prove us right? What if we said we were the perfect fit for someone who is ready to dig in and grow?
Join me on this journey: A Fortune 500 company wants to work with a new agency, they just don't know that it's us yet. You spring into action and organize a team of folks who are at the top of their game to weave a narrative that will sell us before we're even done with our pitch. Using your skills as a writer, project manager, data analyst, and generally wonderful person, you help define our future as a business and ensure we have the best possible opportunity of winning all of the best opportunities that are possible.. and then some.
At L37, we deliver live events and creative media, and our Creative / New Business team is responsible for leading the development of original, compelling proposals and ideas. We lead creative discovery sessions. We brainstorm with ease and lead pitch efforts effectively. We articulate ideas in the form of writing, presenting, visualizing and more. And we guide, and facilitate teams of creative professionals in the execution of those ideas as seeds, and watch as they grown into campaigns, events, videos, presentations and more.
We are organized, creative, fun, warm, and flexible team players who are willing to go the extra mile. This person will join our experiential team and report directly to our Executive Creative Director.
