4 Copywriters for VICE/VIRTUE Scandinavia

VIRTUE is the commercial side of VICE. Formed in 2006 to service brands advertising on VICE platforms, VIRTUE has grown into a global powerhouse, now with offices in 28 countries. As a full service content agency, we produce branded content and omni-channel campaigns with cultural and commercial impact. That last line would be absolute marketing bullshit – if it weren't true.

We are experiencing rapid growth throughout our Scandinavian offices and are now looking for four talented advertising copywriters to join our team of 70 VIRTUE employees in Copenhagen, Denmark.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT VIRTUE SCANDINAVIA
VICE Media Denmark has grown from five to 100 people in three years with VIRTUE as the main driver. VIRTUE Scandinavia is one of the biggest five Danish agencies, with another booming office in Stockholm and another on the way in Oslo. We offer our clients a range of services from lead agency partnership, to brand building, consumer engagement and product and channel development and production. We strive to produce as much in-house content as possible with our integrated production department. This means you will be working alongside over 30 producers, directors, DOPs and editors while producing hundreds of unique assets a month.

Our clients are a sweet combo of Danish, Scandinavian and global brands; we are not just a local VIRTUE office servicing the Scandinavian market, we are a global agency with a range of international clients producing content around the world (again, no BS, we've just sent one of our teams around the world in 12 days for a client).

ENOUGH ABOUT US, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU
You will join a team of 26 creatives (art directors, copywriters, creatives, motion graphics designers and designers) where you will be creating 360° campaigns with content and storytelling at the core.

The ideal candidate is a digital native and who has experience working with brand strategy, concept development, content and video production. Candidates should have an extensive understanding of international brand work and be able to fire off clean, thoughtful ideas with analytical insight and execute them with excellent craftsmanship. We expect you to apply the same zeal and dedication to quality to Facebook posts and banner headlines, as you do to film scripts and award work.

It's essential that you have an in-depth understanding of traditional advertising (including print, television, digital and social) but even more so new media and content creation.

We promise that your creative ambitions will be met with challenging work and a team of equally ambitious and talented colleagues. This is a one of a kind opportunity to join the company that is shaping the media and advertising landscape and will continue to do so for many years to come.
