Copywriter for Democratic Mail Firm

[Mission Control]

DC-based job for Copywriter at Democratic Mail Firm

 

The premier direct mail firm in Democratic and progressive politics is seeking a copywriter. Our clients include Democratic senators, governors, members of Congress and municipal office holders, as well as labor unions, pro-choice organizations, and environmental groups.

 

This position is a cycle hire that ends after the 2020 election.  

 

The ideal applicant:

 

• Writes well, quickly, and correctly
• Is a stickler for correct grammar and has an eye for proofreading
• Thinks visually and creatively—can you marry a clever headline to a compelling image?
• Keeps up with the news and politics
• Is passionate about electing Democrats and advancing progressive goals
• Works well with others and lacks an ego
• Has some experience working with campaigns, press, polling, or policy

Because our work is all about Election Day, our workload ramps up significantly in the run up to November. As we get closer to Election Day the hours get longer and the pace accelerates. This is NOT a 9 to 5 job -- there will be lots of 14-hour days and working weekends in the fall of 2020. Anyone familiar with the campaign lifestyle should be prepared. Nevertheless, we have fun doing this, and we are very excited for 2020.

 

If you want to join a great team and (hopefully) be a part of the coming Democratic wave, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your resume and brief cover letter in a single PDF to in...@missioncontrolinc.net.
