Senior Copywriter, Chicago, Illinois

Description

Who we are:

At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.

Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150+ offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences. Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.

Our writers have blog followers and stand-up comedy fans. They've written children's books and some books that children should never read. They author long-form copy and snappy one-liners. Every VMLY&R writer has a 360-degree skill set, which is something that very few agency writers can claim. They see the possibilities of the written word all around them. If that sounds like you too, VMLY&R just may be the place for you.

We know this is a great place, and others know it too. In fact, we've been voted as one of the 25 best places to work in America three times and have partnered with brands around the world. And with two decades under our belt, you'd be correct to guess our trophy case is pretty full as well.
