About Someoddpilot

Someoddpilot is an independent creative agency based in Chicago, with outposts in LA, NY, and Nashville. We launched in 1999 as an indie record label, and that DIY spirit has guided us ever since. We've learned that while no one actively seeks out marketing, we do love finding value and meaning in the many cultures that surround us. So we help brands mean more by deepening their connection to people and expanding their cultural and business value.

We work on a range of projects — from branding, to integrated campaigns, to full-tilt productions (with the help of our in-house crew), to digital experiences and purpose-driven initiatives.

And our HQ in Wicker Park is more than a studio. We’re a community hub. Public Works is our sister brand, where we stage our own art and design shows, performances, apparel launches, and parties.

Importantly, our partners are people who want to stand for something and do good. Current clients include Patagonia, Smith Optics, Chaco, FootJoy, Savers, Fjallraven, Davines, Figo, Klaviyo, FX, Interior Define, Steelcase, Half Acre Beer and Chance the Rapper.

The Role 

This role requires adept writing abilities in brand-level messaging and positioning, campaigns, scripts, social, manifestos, digital, case studies, and more. Essentially, you must be willing and ready to write it all. Experience with integrated marketing campaigns is required along with a desire to present to and collaborate with clients. The ability to manage your own timelines is a priority, as this role will juggle projects and deadlines with the expectation of being highly flexible as you work with multiple teams across many disciplines. 

Responsibilities

Be a leader for content and creative teams, from the initial brainstorm to the client’s final sign-off.

Create and write authentic pieces of content that resonate with our clients and help them transform their brand, no matter the platform

Conceptualize and create campaigns for major brands that speak to a variety of audiences across multiple channels, while ensuring they align to marketing strategies

Establish top-level brand positioning for clients including taglines, brand purpose, voice & tone documentation, manifestos, and more

Present and communicate with clients to get on the same page and get them excited about the work

Come to the brainstorms with ideas, concepts, language, treatments, references, sketches and an intent to lead brainstorms

Collaborate with clients, other agencies, and SOP internal teams to distill many voices into one unified and cohesive message

Pivot between many projects and work in tight timelines to deliver polished copy that doesn't require multiple rewrites

Work extensively with Public Works to help bring exhibitions, live shows, apparel, and other unconventional copy to life

Write both independently and in group settings with a focus on creating the best piece of creative that means more

Switch effortlessly between tone and write from a range of voices – including sincere, comedic, technical, and everything in between

Requirements

5+ years in a creative writing role at an agency, marketing firm, or brand-side
