The Opportunity
Are you a master of words and big ideas who can shape unique brand voices and lead high-impact campaigns?
Open Partners is looking for a Creative Copywriter to become a driving force of great copy and creative ideas across our studio. Working alongside our Creative Art Director, Creative Director, and Strategy team, you will push impactful concepts and drive the creative vision for the agency. In this role, you will define narrative hooks, build multi-product messaging frameworks, and deliver premium copy that translates complex brand strategies into tangible client success.
Your Role & Responsibilities
You will balance strategic concept development with master-level copy execution to ensure our creative output remains top-tier:
- Conceptual Thinking & Narrative Ownership: Partner with the Creative Art Director and Strategy team to establish strong brand platforms, co-creating platform-agnostic campaign concepts and relatable territories that elevate client positioning.
- Collaborative Campaign Delivery: Guide concepts smoothly through to completion, working closely with the wider Creative team to delegate tasks effectively based on individual skill sets.
- Message Architecture: Design unified messaging frameworks and matrices for complex, multi-tiered accounts to ensure a single, cohesive brand voice across every channel.
- Master Copy Creation: Write the foundational creative manifestos, ad-lines, social hooks, and scripts that set the standard for others to follow.
- Prompt Engine Optimisation: Partner with the Connected Content Senior Partner to translate approved verbal brand codes into structured guardrails, token layers, and contextual inputs for our agency copywriting systems.
- Quality Governance: Serve as the ultimate human arbiter of taste, auditing and reviewing sample outputs from agency writing systems to protect the absolute quality of our work.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with the Head of Content and media operators to align copy structures with modern platform discovery rules, including traditional search layouts, Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), and social spaces.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
