Copywriter

You may not always have the right words to say, but you know the right words to write. You know the standards of AP style—and when to throw the stylebook out the window. You have been called the grammar police at least twice in your life. If this sounds like you, you might be a good fit for our copywriter position.

As a copywriter at Catapult, you’ll work closely with our senior writers, designers, and clients to produce clear, conceptual copy – taking and incorporating feedback to perfect pieces. This includes writing and editing website content, blog posts, print ads, social media posts, taglines, video scripts, and more.

A copywriter will be expected to have the skills and discipline to channel their passion for writing day in and day out with a motivation for continuous improvement. You’ll be expected to fulfill client expectations, develop engaging content and campaigns, and create stand-alone work that attracts and persuades customers.
