Love writing? Love ads? Love ideas? Love a challenge? We’d love to hear from you. Our award-winning creative team is growing at McCann Bristol. And we’re on the hunt for a hungry long-form copywriter who loves playing with words.

McCann Bristol is the BigSmall agency, with the might of a global advertising network but a small(ish), integrated team of 70 talented people.

McCann Bristol is part of McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.

We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.

And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we’ve got including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central’s haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards. So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.

The role

  • 80% copywriting. 20% conceptual. But this can vary depending on the week (and the briefs)

The candidate

  • Have an ability to articulately explain and constructively defend an idea to clients.
  • Have the experience to produce creative campaigns that really stand out and make a difference to how
  • All about attention-to-detail. You're a tone of voice chameleon.

Our commitment to equal opportunities

For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.

As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompasses all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.

Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
