Who we are

As a 100% independent and 100% employee-owned agency, we are driven by an independent spirit and

believe in the power of the collective. We foster a culture that enables and expects all departments to

make our brands impossible to ignore.

The creative department

On our mission to make brands impossible to ignore, "good" is the enemy of "great." We think big, and we

are not satisfied until we find the right expression of the idea, one that evokes emotion and ignites

conversation. We don't accept a big idea without a great execution. And we don't accept executions

without a big idea. That's how we solve business problems.

The role

Part of what makes an ACD Copywriter a 22Squared ACD Copywriter is an insatiable curiosity that

always has them asking 'why?' and 'what if?'. It's this desire to always push for better that makes our

writers so successful. Applying your craft here means partnering with an Art Director so you can combine

your superpowers to tackle exciting and challenging projects together. Your approach to creative

problem-solving and your insights on culture at large will be an inspiration to those around you, in and out

of the Creative department. If you're on the hunt for a place where you're given the support and freedom

to fail, to be inspired, to grow, to take risks. If you're looking for a creative agency on a mission to create

work that's authentically human and impossible to ignore, well, you've come to the right place. We're

hiring talent now. Acquiring perspective always.
