Copywriter - Creative

We’re the feel-good fashion brand making style accessible and fun for over 55 years, on our website, mobile app and over 300 stores in the UK.

By living our values - we play to win, customer obsessed, we are one and it starts with me - we deliver That New Look Feeling for our customers and each other.

The Role: (3 Days In Office)

Writing for an array of touchpoints, from in store to email, editorial and homepage, you’ll be New Look’s go-to wordsmith, making sure our fun, feel-good tone of voice is evident at every turn. You’ll be coming up with lots of creative ideas, turning your pen (or keyboard) to a host of briefs to support our Brand, Trade, Creative and Social teams. In other words, you’ll be writing a lot!

We’re looking for someone who’s as comfortable concepting a seasonal narrative as they are writing a short and snappy caption for social. You’ll be joining a passionate, creative Copy & Content team, so the perfect candidate will have lots of ideas, a can-do attitude and a team spirit. In turn, we offer a competitive salary, a focus on development and a truly inspiring environment to work in – oh, and not forgetting the discount and 4pm finishes on a Friday.

WHATS IN IT FOR YOU:

40% staff discount plus friends & family discounts throughout the year
