Associate Copywriter at Wavelength Strategy (Washington DC / Remote)
Hello Wavelength
Associate Copywriter - Wavelength Strategy
Wavelength Strategy is a boutique digital firm dedicated to elevating
digital persuasion and paid media strategy for Democratic campaigns and
progressive organizations.
In 2020, Wavelength is proud to be working with top-tier Democratic campaigns and organizations, including some of the most competitive House and Senate races in the country and the fight against Trump in battleground states. Our team combines decades of campaign management and digital communications experience to help our clients move the voters they need to win.
Our approach is:
- Creative-first. To change minds and win elections, we need to do more than reach the right voters: We need to speak their language. We believe the goal of digital advertising’s targeting capabilities should be to tailor content—from issue to treatment to messenger—to the voter and the platform where it’s served.
- Immersive. We’re committed to full integration and concierge service for our clients, and we’re discerning about the number and kind of clients we work with. We believe that the best results come from knowing a campaign in and out, being part of every strategy conversation, and taking the time to make higher quality creative—from scripts to finished products.
- Cutting-edge. We’ve partnered with platforms and third-party vendors to develop state-of-the-art testing and modeling on measurable persuasion metrics as well as performance testing. Our mission is to migrate digital goals to broader campaign goals: moving the needle and winning.
