Work With Us

There’s a lot of award-winning talent in this town but for some reason it’s still not a big blip on the Ad World radar. We’re out to change that. Dunn&Co. wants to be for Tampa what Fallon is for Minneapolis, Crispin is for Boulder, and Martin is for the entire state of Virginia. If you know who those agencies are and know what we’re talking about then we want to talk to you whether we have an opening or not.

ACD/Copywriter

If you’re reading this, you probably already know what we’d expect from a good Copywriter ACD. Award winning work, presentation skills, the ability to appeal to even the most attention-challenged consumer using only three words or less–yes, we’re looking for all of that of course, but let’s skip to the things that we think sets us apart from your average agency. 

We’re small, which means you will have a chance to really influence the work, but also our company culture. We have a no-ego policy. We believe in doing good, and being good. For our colleagues, and our clients. Just be nice and you’ll do great here. 

You have to be in our Tampa office. We work from home Mondays and Fridays, but we believe good things happen when good people come together, so for the other weekdays we are here in our beloved cigar factory, trying to push the bondaries of creativity together.

You realize that for every award winning project, there are a few that aren’t. That doesn’t make them any less important.  We love being recognized for our work, but what makes us truly great isn’t just the trophies along the walls, it’s building a team that works together with passion and empathy to help our clients be more successful.

If you agree with everything above, if you have the portfolio to prove it, and if you caught the typo (it made you hurt a little on the inside didn’t it?) then we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate is expected to:

• Collaborate with Dunn&Co. account teams, clients, creative directors, art directors, cinematographers and designers to concept campaigns, develop brand strategies and write effective, engaging copy for our clients.
• Be able to lead, manage, and challenge the creative department to produce award-winning, results-oriented work.
• Be comfortable and confident working on a wide variety of online and offline media, including media that hasn’t been invented yet.
• Have experience creating and managing presentations for client meetings.
• Intelligently incorporate client and account team feedback, comments and changes while adhering to timelines, due dates and goals without getting all huffy.
• Willing to work on all assignments, not just the ones that personally excite you. In other words, no divas or crusaders.

Requirements

The successful candidate must:

• Be in-office in Tampa three days a week
• Have eight-plus years’ agency copywriting experience; or ability to effectively lie about said experience.
• Be able to present, persuade and inspire, starting with your first email to us.
• Hold a Bachelor’s degree (or have attended ad school) with a concentration in advertising, communications or journalism. Or just a great portfolio.
• Be able to articulate project feasibility to account management and clients.
• Pay strong attention to detail, schedule management, version control and other skills usually not attributed to creative people.
• Multi-task in a fast-paced environment while functioning as a member of a highly collaborative team.
• Be nice.

Salary range for this position is $80,000-$100,000 based on experience.
