Copywriter - Freelance

Interactive Strategies is a full-service digital agency in Washington, DC. We work with nonprofits, associations, and mission-driven organizations on the things that matter most to them — web, brand identity, social ads, digital campaigns, fundraising, and advocacy. The work is varied, and so is the creative talent we draw on to do it. 

We keep an active roster of freelance creatives to call on when the right project comes along, and we're looking to expand it. 

Skills We're Looking for

Our work spans a wide range — brand voice, digital campaigns, fundraising appeals, advocacy petitions, and web. We don't expect any one writer to do all of it. What we do look for is someone with a sharp ear for language, a genuine understanding of brand voice, and the ability to write for people who are being asked to care about something bigger than themselves. 

If you've worked in one or more of these areas, we want to hear from you: 

• UX and web content — you bring unique, yet functional content solutions to a website’s most common problems  

• Brand identity — you develop and distinguish a brand’s voice and tone across written brand systems, messaging guides, and style guides 

• Digital marketing and campaigns — you create relevant content that is fresh, timely and stops the scroll on social media, in inboxes, and on the web 

• Fundraising and advocacy content — you write to move people to act

Qualities you bring to the table...

• Creative. You bring imagination and fresh ideas; you create content that inspires and engages. 

• Strategic. You write with purpose — every word is in service of a goal, whether that's moving someone to donate, subscribe, or simply stay on the page. 

• Innovative. You push boundaries and implement innovative techniques. 

• Committed. You value diverse perspectives and bring that awareness to the work — in the stories you tell, the voices you elevate, and the teams you're part of. 

• Passionate. You sweat the details: word choice, rhythm, tone. You know the difference between copy that's good and copy that earns its place. 

• Curious. You're always looking for what you don't know yet — new approaches, better ways to connect with an audience, and sharper ways to tell a story. 

• Friendly. You’re a people person who enjoys collaborating and works well with others.
