FleishmanHillard HighRoad (FHR) is a leading, full-service communications agency. We are a dedicated and entrepreneurial team, with a passion for doing good work the good way. Specializing in Brand Marketing, Social, Digital Innovation, Public Affairs and Corporate Reputation, we are widely known for creating compelling and results-oriented campaigns for our clients, time and time again.

About the Role:

FHR is searching for an established talent that through a portfolio of produced work has demonstrated the ability to create fresh, inspired, and unexpected thinking that solves a client’s problem. And flexibility is a must. Reporting into the Creative Director, the perfect candidate should be as comfortable partnering in a traditional team, as they are partnering with a client or channel expert, as they are flying solo. But in all cases, the output must be the same, original and memorable concepts and executions. This will be a hybrid role.

Responsibilities:
• Develop high-level... creative concepts and pull a big idea through multiple mediums, anywhere on the spectrum from traditional mass advertising campaigns to nimble and targeted digital and social campaigns to earned-only PR campaigns
• Collaborate with creative director, strategist, media, digital, and account teams to ensure work is always relevant, strategically sound, and compelling
• Effectively justify creative thinking to internal stakeholders and clients, and take a collaborative approach to accepting feedback and input
• Deliver under tight timelines
• Write independently – long-form, scripts, treatments, copy, taglines and miscellaneous short-form
• Present ideas, both written and oral, with confidence and impact
• Have a clear understanding of what is required to execute creative work and deliver ideas that remain within scope, while still always looking for opportunities to expand scope
• Use PowerPoint to build and present creative work (write ups, scripts etc.)

Qualifications:
• 6-8 years of professional work experience in copywriting and conceptual thinking
• College Diploma or University degree in advertising/copywriting
• Experience working on big brands and creating content
• Ability to reference pop culture, relevant news and digital content/content trends
• A knack for distilling complex information and extracting compelling narratives and perspectives
• Results-focused approach and committed to consistently meeting and exceeding the highest-quality standards of client service
• Capable of managing a full, varied workload and delivering high-quality work under deadline pressure
• Work effectively in a team-oriented environment, including mentoring staff
• Extremely detail-oriented
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including capability to lead group discussions and give presentations
• Agency experience is required, with experience on earned media campaigns an asset
• Proficient in Word and PowerPoint
• Basic knowledge of design software is an asset
