jr./midlevel freelance copywriter in SF

Gucky — Thu, 10 May 2007 13:20:30 -0800

I need a copywriter to help me out, say, yesterday. I'll give someone a contract to help me not drown in all this interactive copy work. If it works out, they'll be a job to be had. Anyone know a bay area copywriter that's smart, organized and doesn't mind handling a few edit and organize things? Someone that's good at thinking, writing, playing well with others and knows where a comma goes? Bonus for interactive experience, but I'd rather have a creative mind than an optimal search strategy. Interactive ad agency -- websites, banners, everything else. Big clients, mostly in the restaurant, adult beverage, entertainment and consumer packaged goods space. Dog Patch office -- anything but glamorous, easier to find parking. Portfolio/samples and a resume, please to me, Amanda, the copy ACD: amanda.peterson@realbranding.com

Smart design directors -- One Interactive, One unleaded -- that get branding

Gucky — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 16:34:51 -0800

My work, one of the largest branding firms in the world, has two design director openings. One, a traditional graphic design guru, one an interactive wiz. They're looking for someone with eight+ years of experience in graphic design, leading teams, providing guidance to juniors and presenting to clients. I'm looking to work with incredibly smart people who can talk strategy *and* fonts. So far, I'm working with a lot of those. But there's the potential for a pompous InDesign monkey with a pretty resume to swoop in. And that will make my job, as a writer and person responsible for making presentations make sense, much harder. The official job posts are: here, but if you want a less boiler plate description of the gigs, or just your portfolio to get to creative directors, rather than just HR, let me know. I'm one of the few people in the building that works with everyone, and I promise to be frank. My email is in my profile.
