Creative Director (Copy)

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.
At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Edelman is looking for an experienced, talented, and proactive Creative Director to work alongside a multidisciplinary, high-performing team.

Edelman sits at the crossroads of PR, Advertising, Social, Digital, and Experiential. We create smart, innovative, and powerful work that gets people talking.

You bring a deep passion for advertising, complemented by strong digital and social expertise, and a love for smart, beautiful, culturally relevant work. You’ve built and grown teams before — and you’re excited to do it again.

You’ll thrive in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment — think creative startup energy with the support and scale of a large, privately owned global agency.

Who You Are

• A culturally fluent, digitally native writer with a point of view and a passion for smart, witty, surprising content.

• A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment and works quickly without compromising craft.

• A storyteller who’s just as comfortable concepting a TikTok series as drafting an executive voiceover or naming a product feature.

• A thoughtful, detail-oriented writer who can flex across tone, voice, and platform.

At Edelman, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and are committed to fostering a workplace where creativity, equity, and inclusion thrive. If this sounds like the kind of work—and the kind of team—you’ve been looking for, we’d love to connect.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with art direction and creative leadership to concept, write, and deliver compelling work across social, digital, video, and experiential channels.

• Help shape creative responses for new business and ongoing client campaigns.

• Present creative concepts and content directly to clients with confidence and clarity.

• Guide and mentor other writers and creatives as needed while managing multiple projects.

Basic Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in marketing, advertising, or social media, with a strong focus on interactive media.

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in English, Communications, Journalism, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong portfolio showcasing conceptual copy, creative campaigns, and content across social and digital, preferably with Tech clients.

• Experience presenting directly to clients and collaborating across multi-disciplinary teams.
