Senior Copywriter – Integrated Campaigns

Write the ad people quote at dinner. Then go home at 7.

Foxglove & Finch is an independent creative agency in Chicago's Fulton Market. 290 people, 14 Effies, 2 Cannes Lions, and a firm rule: no emails after 7 PM unless something is actually on fire.

The role

You'll be the senior writer on our consumer brands team, paired with a Senior Art Director. Your clients: Greenloop (natural grocery), Voltway (e-scooters) and Bramble & Oak (outdoor furniture). This year alone that means a national streaming TV campaign, a brand relaunch and a lot of very short videos.

Hybrid: in the office Tuesday–Thursday, wherever you like Monday and Friday.

What you'll do

• Crack briefs and pitch concepts with your art director
• Write across TV, streaming, social, OOH, radio and podcasts
• Present your work to clients and defend it with a smile
• Mentor two junior writers
• Help shape the voice of brands from the first line

What you need

• 6+ years as a copywriter at an agency or in-house creative team
• A portfolio with integrated campaigns you can walk us through
• Experience presenting directly to clients
• You can write a 30-second script and a 3-word headline equally well

Nice to have

• Award-winning work (Effie, ADC, One Show, Cannes)
• Short-form video and social-first thinking
• Experience using AI tools as a sparring partner, not a ghostwriter

Pay and benefits

• $105,000–$140,000/year + annual bonus of 5–15%
• $2,500 for every Cannes Lion or Gold Effie your team wins
• Stock options in an agency that has turned down every buyout offer
• Unlimited PTO with a required 15-day minimum (we check), office closed Dec 24 – Jan 1
• Summer Fridays: done at 1 PM, June to August
• 4-week paid sabbatical + $3,000 travel stipend after 5 years
• Medical, dental, vision from day one: we pay 100% of your premium
• 401(k) with 4% match, life and disability insurance
• 16 weeks paid parental leave
• 12 free therapy sessions a year
• $2,000/year learning budget + $1,000 for your personal creative project
• Dog-friendly office, 50% of pet insurance covered

Relocation and visas

Relocation assistance up to $10,000. We sponsor H-1B, O-1, E-3 and TN visas for this role.

How we hire

1. 15-minute video call with our recruiter
2. Portfolio review with our Creative Director (45 min)
3. Paid test brief, 4–6 hours. We pay $300 regardless of the outcome.
4. Coffee with the team

We don't work with tobacco, weapons or political campaigns.
