Copywriter - Marketing Agency

Snapshot · Nashville, TN, USA ·

Job type:
Freelance

The Copywriter is the voice of the work at Snapshot. You take business objectives and make them land, turning strategy into writing that carries brand voice, authority, and a point of view. You are accountable for the words on every asset that leaves the building.

This is a multi-tool role. Long-form thought leadership, blogs, and white papers. Short-form social, campaign copy, headlines, and paid ads. Web pages, landing pages, email, and scripts. You move between formats without losing the thread, and you match register to the channel and the audience every time.

You learn a brand voice fast, then own it. Once you have it, you protect it across every deliverable and every department, so a paid ad and a white paper sound like they came from the same company.

You do not work in a silo. You partner with SEO/GEO so content ranks and gets cited, with Accounts to shape and defend messaging, and with Creative and Development so copy and design solve the problem together. You look ahead at what is coming, raise flags early, bring solutions, and commit to seeing them through.
