About Blaze
Blaze is an independent advertising and communications agency in Falmouth, Maine. We work across brand strategy, campaigns, digital media, web, content production, and media buying. Our clients are across a range of industries including transit, financial services, higher education, nonprofits, municipal government, and mission-driven brands.

About the role
The Copywriter writes across every channel we work in. In a typical month that includes long form website copy, campaign concepts and headlines, short form copy for Meta and other platforms, organic social, email, video scripts, and print.
The role also involves brand voice work. On some accounts you will help define a brand voice from the beginning, including the strategy behind it and the guidelines that let other people use it. On others you will write inside an established voice that already has clear standards.
You will work closely with our designers, often paired one on one and sometimes as part of a larger team, from early concept through final execution. You will present your work and the thinking behind it to internal teams and to clients.
This is a multi-account role in a fast-paced environment. You will typically have several projects moving at once, with a mix of quick turnarounds and longer assignments that need sustained focus over days or weeks. Workload varies week to week. This role reports to the ACD.
