Creative Writer, Brand Voice

Lippincott’s voice team plays a pivotal role in expressing who a brand is, and how they connect with the world. Our team of poets, publishers, copywriters, food critics and designers works collaboratively and creatively to define the unique characters and voices for some of America’s most iconic brands.

As a Creative Writer, Brand Voice, you’ll blend creative and strategic thinking while working with our design, strategy and innovation teams to identify opportunities to connect with our clients’ customers and other key audiences across their journeys. You will workshop and build out creative brand voice concepts and articulate the rationales behind them to our clients.

• You’re an authentic storyteller who knows how to engage an audience
• You’re an exceptional writer who loves connecting strategy with language

• You have an eye for design and pushing the limits of storytelling
• You have the creativity to build a concept from scratch, along with the logic and confidence to engage an audience in your ideas
• You’re equally at home buried in a good book and being in front of a group
