Freelance ACD Copywriter

We are seeking an experienced Freelance ACD writer to support our team for 40 hours/week, during Assembly's working hours (9-5ish, local time).

At Assembly, we help Microsoft bring to life its mission: to help every person on the planet achieve more. We are experts in the products and offerings and tasked with helping them think beyond the product roadmap to find the best way to bring their unique stories to broad audiences. Our work is designed to capture the attention of the media landscape, and the ability to uncover a cultural tension is at the heart of our briefs. In this role, you’ll create groundbreaking, social first campaigns on one of the world’s greatest tech brands.

We’re looking for a creative that has a passion for pop culture, technology and social media. You’re someone who sees social trends before they are trending, and you’re eager to conceptualize, create and put things out into the world at the speed of culture. From Tiktoks to full-scale campaigns, we want someone who can take an idea from the concept to client presentation, and quickly to people’s feeds. We’re not just looking to make filler content, we want to make fun, witty, unexpected work that gets noticed. You will be joining a diverse team of creatives who are collaborative, curious, and kind.
