Hiring a big-time copywriter

Hiring. Copywriters. Not what you think. It's a different kind of copywriting. And a different kind of pay. The pay is, well let's say the pay is surprising. But can you do it? You write good. But are you write good enough for POWERIZE!?

Here, we take the "copy" part of copywriting seriously. That's right hacks, copy and pasting from the internet is the first fucking tool in the copywriter's toolbook. Because no one reads beyond the headline, why write original content beyond it?
  • Can you think of yourself as a monkey chained to a typewriter?
  • As an uncredited cog when the work works?
  • As a fully-blamed wrench when it doesn't?
  • Does the opportunity to work with C. Thomas Howell make your clit twitter?
  • Do you like drinking?
  • Can you imagine telling your friends you write for Burger King, when you really write for Hardee's?
  • Can you take the excitement of revising ten words on a web banner forty times?
  • Can you handle the thrill of writing a e-blast? That promises to share a substantial part of the inheritance of a Nigerian Prince?
If we had you at C. Thomas Howell, then you're on your way. Send your cover letter and resume to POWERIZE! today.

Join the POWERIZE team!

Congratulations on considering joining the cuttingest-edged branding, advertising and marketing agency in Pittsburgh, AdFed District 2 and the world. We're always looking for smart, well-connected, creative, in-and-out-of-your-box thinking, young go-getters to join the POWERIZE™ team.

But what makes you think you’re good enough?
How well do you face rejection and ridicule?
Is your spirit not yet crushed by the weight of the world?
Do you believe that hard work and determination can get you far?

Interns at POWERIZE could be our greatest asset. (Mostly they're not.)
At many agencies, interns are exploited. You don't get paid, you do the heavy-lifting, and in 3 months, when you realize what's going on, you're out the same revolving door a fresh set of doe-eyed cherubs are coming in. At POWERIZE, it's no different. Except that it's a lot different. As a POWERIZE intern, the keys to becoming a partner at a multi-million dollar agency are in your hands.

INTERN into a PARTNER!™ Program
Skip the maybe-you’ll-get-a-job-offer to be an assistant-this or junior-that part of the game and jump into full agency partnership. It's a meritocracy! Just bring in a multi-million dollar account to POWERIZE and your office is right beside mine. Technically, in mine, you can sit near the window.
