Becky Stevenson, HR/Operations Director at Two by Four in Chicago, is on the hunt for a Copywriter/Great Idea Generator. From Two by Four:

“Is your brain a petri dish for great ideas? Do they bounce around in your head like pinballs on crack? If so, perhaps you’d like to see them come to fruition as a Great Idea Generator: Copywriter at Two by Four. We’re in the market for a kick-ass writer – someone who not only gets it, but does it. An inventive, surprising, passionate thinker, someone who can take a strategy and conceptually turn it on its ear. A self-motivated, self-aware self-starter, with an understanding of mediums from television to web, print to guerilla – and everything in between. Oh, and did we mention you’ll be doing this at breakneck speed? Buckle your seatbelt. If you think you’ve got what it takes, give us a shout. You may be the right writer for the job.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop fantastic creative concepts, seen through to execution
• Come at things from refreshingly unique angles; don’t just show us the expected stuff: surprise us, excite us, wow us, and make us happy we hired you
• Do create work that makes our clients, the agency and your parents proud
• Don’t be a prima donna; if you are, trust us – you won’t last very long here
• Raise your hand when you’re not busy. Volunteer. Engage. Immerse yourself. Help out wherever you can. Make yourself indispensable. We’ll notice, you’ll benefit.
• Depending on experience level, present work to clients; in any event, you’ll be working towards that goal – we don’t want you to go to every client meeting
• Keep track of your hours and do your time sheets on time; yes, this matters
• Oh, and other thing: we start at 8:30; yes, this matters, too – set your alarm accordingly
• Roll up your sleeves, put on your thinking cap and dive headfirst into new business – we’ve won a ton of new biz this year alone. Want an opportunity to grow? This is it.
• Stand out, but fit in. This is one helluva fun place to work, with a really cool agency culture. Be a part of it.

Qualifications / Skills Required for this Position:

• Enough experience to let us know that you know what you’re doing.
• A really nice body of work.
• Being a grown-up. We don’t want to have to watch over you all the time, and you don’t want that either. If you can’t work without supervision, this won’t work.
• A general understanding of how things work in advertising, including radio production and tv production, print production, web development, etc.”
