Digital and Brand Copywriter

Have you worked in employer branding? If so, great. If not, just ask yourself: can you build a brand from scratch? Write a website? Change your copy to cut through on any social channel? Then, you’re pretty much there. In an age of AI slop, we’re mainly interested in a copywriter who’s devoted to the craft and ready for a rewarding space. At Blackbridge, we build people‑first communications to attract top talent for organisations such as Amazon, Barclays, BT Group and Skyscanner.

It isn’t wildly different to other forms of branding. Just the call to action: instead of ‘drink Cola‑Cola’, we’d say ‘come and make Coca‑Cola’… or work in their head office. We speak to the candidates and employees of these big blue‑chips, thousands at a time. Across their social channels, out of home, at events – just like any other form of integrated marketing. But we’re specifically looking for specialists in branded, internal and social comms.

We need a copywriter whose passion is building bulletproof playbooks. Then, nailing that signed‑off creative, across social channels and career websites. You need to be a tone‑of‑voice expert, convinced you can outwrite Claude. Because we are too. You’ll consider campaign strategy and brand guidelines. And there will be some opportunity to do conceptual creative. But mostly, we need a purist. Someone who says, ‘First and foremost, I’m a crafter of copy. A student of syntax. An academic of knowing my client’s audience.’ Working with our Head of Copy, you’ll ensure everything we write is right first time. Or second. The aim is to ensure it’s not much more than that. Because that’s what wins our agency awards, year after year.

As an employee‑owned agency, we take pride being as precise as we are passionate. Because we all share in the profits in the end.

• Unlike most agencies, we’re employee‑owned – after 12 months you’ll become a Partner of Blackbridge and receive your fair share of our profits.
• Being employee‑owned, we have a colleague appointed representative (Partner Councillor) who gives us the chance to voice our opinions on various elements of the business in an open and productive manner.
• A work‑life balance is important to who we are, that's why we have a hybrid work policy, with 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home.
• We have regular socials and events to give us the chance to make genuine friendships and connections outside of the workday. Activities we've had in the past include quiz nights, karaoke, drinks at various Central London pubs/bars.
• 25 days' holiday with 1.5 days gifted over Christmas.
• Our Employee Assistance Programme is available to you 24/7, which offers mental health support through courses and counselling sessions.
• Health Cash Plan – claim back costs for everyday healthcare (dental, optical, prescriptions, physiotherapy, etc.), plus access to a wide range of discounts.
• Enhanced parental pay and leave, so you can settle your family in, enjoy the early days and maintain your sense of financial security.
• You’ll have access to our company pension scheme, helping you save towards your long‑term financial wellbeing.
