BRAINS | Senior Brand Copywriter

Senior Brand Copywriter 

About the Role

At BRAINS, we believe the right words can define how a brand lives in the world. As a Brand Copywriter, you’ll shape the language that gives brands their voice—from naming and taglines to packaging, messaging systems, and launch narratives.

This role is centered on brand language: the foundational words that express a brand’s positioning, personality, and perspective. Working closely with strategy and design, you’ll help translate insights into distinctive language systems that guide how a brand shows up across every touchpoint. The best candidates for this role often have strong instincts for brand strategy, even if they see themselves primarily as creatives.

You’re someone who cares deeply about writing, the craft of language, the nuance of tone, and the challenge of making ideas both clear and memorable. Whether building a brand from the ground up or helping an existing one evolve, your work will help shape how brands speak, connect, and stand out.
