Overview
We’re looking for one experienced individual who can handle copywriting, content, and design from start to finish. We’ll provide the product and an initial brief, and they’ll independently research the product, category, market, and competitors before developing the full branding direction, including colors, look and feel, messaging, and copy. The final deliverables should include polished design and copy ready to be implemented on a Shopify website. Candidates must submit a resume and portfolio with relevant past work we can review. This is a contract/per-project position, allowing us to work together on individual brands and products as they are launched.

- Conduct in-depth research into the product, category, target audience, competitors, and relevant market trends
- Analyze competitor positioning, branding, messaging, and creative strategies
- Develop an overall branding and creative direction for the product
- Establish the recommended color palette, typography direction, imagery style, and overall look and feel
- Develop the brand's positioning, tone of voice, key messaging, and value propositions
- Write compelling website copy, including headlines, product messaging, benefits, calls-to-action, and supporting content
- Design the visual content and website assets needed to communicate the brand effectively
- Bring the copy and design together into a cohesive customer journey
- Deliver organized, polished assets that are ready to be implemented into a Shopify website
Experience
- Proven experience in branding, e-commerce, digital design, and copywriting
- A strong understanding of Shopify and e-commerce website structure
- Experience researching products and competitors independently
- Strong visual design skills with an understanding of conversion-focused e-commerce design
- Excellent copywriting and brand messaging abilities
- The ability to develop a brand identity rather than simply follow an existing style guide
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently
- Experience working with consumer products and developing brands from the ground up
- The ability to manage a project from initial brief through final creative delivery
Please provide examples of past projects where you were personally responsible for a meaningful portion of the branding, copy, content, and/or design.
