Copywriter

Location: Greenbelt, MD/Denver, CO/REMOTE
Position Types: 1099 Contractor (Hours as based on work)

About Us:

We are a dynamic and innovative creative agency based in Greenbelt, MD, specializing in cutting-edge marketing strategies, design solutions, and digital content creation. Our team is driven by creativity, collaboration, and a passion for pushing boundaries in the ever-evolving landscape of digital media.

Position Overview:

At Merrick Creative, we believe that great copy isn’t just about sounding good — it’s about clarity, intention, and connection. We’re looking for skilled copywriters who can bring brand voices to life across a range of marketing and collateral formats. From brochures and websites to pitch decks and one-pagers, your words will help shape how brands communicate who they are and what they stand for.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, strategic, and knows how to turn complex ideas into clear, compelling language. You understand how to write for different audiences, mediums, and moments — and you’re just as comfortable writing a product page as you are a campaign headline.

Responsibilities:

  • Write, edit, and proofread marketing and brand collateral, including brochures, websites, case studies, internal materials, and client decks

  • Translate client goals and creative briefs into smart, audience-first messaging

  • Collaborate with designers, strategists, and project leads to bring ideas to life across various formats

  • Adapt tone and voice to match brand guidelines and resonate with specific audiences

  • Ensure copy is clear, consistent, and on-brand, across both digital and print

  • Help shape narrative structure and hierarchy for content-heavy assets like websites or presentations

  • Stay up to date on writing trends, marketing language, and digital content best practices

Qualifications:

  • Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills

  • 3–4 years of academic or professional experience writing marketing or brand copy

  • Strong attention to detail, grammar, and voice consistency

  • Experience writing for websites, brochures, emails, or other marketing materials

  • Ability to interpret creative briefs and translate strategy into clear messaging

  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively across teams

  • Bonus if you have experience with UX writing, SEO, or content strategy
