Happy July 4th Holiday! I hope you enjoy your time off to relax and refresh. It seems like an unusual number of folks are taking this time of summer to look for new employment! July is typically one of the slowest times on the creative calendar!
Fiscal years ended on June 30, as did many client and agency budgets. Not much happens in July because of summer vacations and it seems overall summer lethargy (or relaxation!) rules! Budgets for the new fiscal year haven’t really kicked in yet . . .
Historically, copywriters are among the most difficult, if not the most difficult recruiting searches. Frequently, every client from one employer who’s involved in the interview process has a different expectation/understanding of how a candidate would (or could) fit in! Portfolios are very subjective.
I’ve never been contacted by more creative writers at every level of an agency or brand at the same time, in my 23 years of recruiting. I currently have candidates from ECD of global holding agencies and a Cannes Grand Prix winner, to other ECDs with Cannes Lions, Advertising Emmys, D&AD, One Show, Platinum Hermes (and more) awards, working with iconic global brands (From Mercedes-Benz to McDonald’s or Nike to Neutrogena! Bacardi, Coke, Rolex, Dyson, DeBeers).
It goes on and on . . . every level writer from Junior on . . . It’s just surprising to me that so many contacted me in such a sort time frame! If anyone’s looking to add a writer to your team, please get in touch. These folks are all open to remote work and a surprising number will re-locate for the right opportunity.
Available right now, are also agency and brand marketing leaders available with diverse experience and responsibilities.
Thanks very much! Enjoy your Fourth of July Holiday weekend!
