Copywriter

Camp + King has offices in San Francisco and Chicago and in our short, but mighty, 10-year tenure we’ve been named one of AdAge’s Small Agencies of the Year 4 times and appeared in Outside Magazine’s 50 Best Places to Work list. In 2021 Camp + King was named on Ad Age’s A-List as one of the top agencies in America. 

Our agency philosophy is to Make Brands Conversationworthy™️. We do this by creating content for brands that’s worth engaging with, talking about, and sharing. Some of our clients include: Papa John’s, Energizer, RE/MAX, Four Roses Bourbon, and Copper Cane Winery.

Our growing Chicago office is expanding our new business opportunities targeting clients east of the Rockies. A cornerstone of this office is the work we are doing with Papa John’s.  A company in transition, Papa John’s has spent the past 18 months reinvigorating its brand under the leadership of a new executive team and has recently transitioned its corporate headquarters from Louisville to Atlanta.  We are partnering with this client in the evolution of their brand foundations and bringing those to life through their marketing calendar that supports the growth pillars of product innovation-driven LTOs, combined with brand equity-focused efforts and omnichannel marketing activations. 

Camp + King is seeking a seasoned, social-first Brand Supervisor to support our Papa John’s client. The right person for this role is a highly driven self-starter who lives and breathes social media, loves the internet and TV, and is passionate about growing and evolving as a strategic thinker. Strong candidates will come to us with developed client management skills that allow them to be comfortable both leading, as well as working independently. This person will report to the Brand Director (who is based in Chicago), while managing work streams with strategy, creative and production teams based in San Francisco.  Due to that, this person must be a champion of our ‘one office two locations’ agency model, and play an indispensable role in supporting the long hallway between our West Coast and Chicago based operations for both our internal agency and client teams. While there is a preference for an individual based out of Chicago, candidates from both Chicago and San Francisco will be considered.

The ideal candidate has experience in and is motivated by contributing to a large, fast-paced national retail piece of business, (ideally in the QSR category) and has the ability to develop strong client and partner relationships while providing invaluable support to the execution of the agency’s creative. We’re looking for someone who can wear many hats and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves; a team member who can work smartly, accurately, efficiently and have fun while doing it. You should be driven by a desire to do great creative work that gets people talking and be a highly valued contributor in getting there.

Daily responsibilities include supporting the development and execution of brand communications and social strategy, managing omnichannel campaigns with a focus on stewarding and shepherding social and digital-first content, collaborating with inter-agency partners, and acting as the point person for the creation and delivery of creative content, presentations and creative work requested by clients.

# Skills expected
- Developing as a strategically sound thought leader who can think critically and play the role of social brand steward, helping your team and clients define and adhere to the brand guardrails for how Papa Johns shows up on social and digital channels.  
- Support internal teams & external partners to regularly mine consumer insights to deliver relevant content to our audiences across social and digital channels.
- A strong support partner to your brand and social strategy leads, guiding the client’s day-to-day social media/comms planning and management
- The go-to resource for your team and clients for all things social, culture and fandom.
- Have a strong understanding of the evolving social / digital landscape and best practices. Proactively partner directly with major and emerging social platforms to educate our teams and clients on opportunities within each.
- Have a solid understanding of paid, earned and owned social media tactics with the confidence to pitch them to the client in a cohesive, easy-to-understand and measurable way.
- A collaborative brand partner with cross-functional teams including (creative/media/PR/Multi-cultural) to develop cohesive integrated comms plans with a focus on how the brand delivers on its brand essence via social
- A proven track record managing workload, accomplishing tasks, and managing others in a timely and effective manner. The ability to proactively manage the details while also monitoring high level initiatives of your team and account
- An authentic collaborator and consummate team player, who has experience forging strong, trust-based partnerships with partners (client + agency + media partners), creatives, and producers not just in meeting rooms, but also in day-to-day conversations, at shoots and over coffee.
- An ability to manage up, as well as down. What does that mean? It means you know how and when to loop in your supervisor—neither too often on the small stuff, nor too late on the big stuff. You have a sense of how to nurture those below you and help them grow.
- Be a leader, role model and mentor for internal and external teams. Be the person that owns the call or project but teaches others how to do so as well.
- Create an environment that encourages active participation, creativity, accountability, and teamwork with paths for advancement and improvement.
Help mine the growth paths of your direct reports by providing actionable feedback, providing valuable growth opportunities, and identifying ways to make the work better.
- A minimum 5 years of agency experience with an area of focus on social media planning, management, and content development.  Experience in QSR or Retail is preferred.
