Midweight / Senior Writer

We're hiring. We need a writer who can write great stuff for a bank, bras, beer, mobile phones, blind fundraising, solar power, carpet, curtains, energy infrastructure, financial advisers, design projects, fast turnaround social, digital experiences, AI experiments and whatever else that tickles our fancy. Maybe you're bored where you are. Or you're in a soul-sucking holding company behemoth looking to cut costs. Maybe you think being indie is really attractive right now (it is). Or you're just wanting to take the next step in your career, with a team that will empower you, challenge you, expect you to add to the culture with your best killer self, and treat you like a human with feelings and dreams and a life.

If you're comfortable being in meetings with dev guys, kick-ass designers, media mega-brains, creative souls or strategic concentric-circle worshippers, and live
in Auckland or are willing to move, get in touch.

• Minimum 5 years experience as a writer
• A great creative book of award winning ideas
• An understanding of truly integrated work - if it's just traditional, it's not enough.
• The creative drive to work across brand, design, tech and media.
