What We Believe
AI is the product of averages. It pulls from the mean. Your brand should never be average.
If that line makes you want to argue with it, agree with it, or write three more like it, keep reading. If it doesn't do anything for you, this isn't your job.
Who We Are
Salt & Serif is a strategy-first creative studio in Sioux Falls. We work with growth-stage B2B companies in agriculture, biotech, construction, and manufacturing, brands that need clarity more than they need another logo refresh. Most brands don't have a creativity problem. They have a clarity problem. That's the whole premise of this studio.
We're small on purpose. Sharp minds, clean lines, no fluff.
Join us as a Part-Time Creative Copywriter and unleash your creativity while shaping impactful messaging that makes a difference. We’re dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where your talents can flourish. Help us tell compelling stories that inspire action!
What You'll Actually Do
- Write ad copy, campaign messaging, web copy, email campaigns, and social content for Salt & Serif clients under creative direction
- Turn strategy briefs and brand frameworks into finished, on-voice copy
- Work inside our existing brand voice guidelines: short punchy sentences, active voice, no buzzwords, no hedging
- Collaborate with our designer and studio coordinator through ClickUp
Who We're Looking For
- 3+ years of professional writing or copywriting experience
- A portfolio that shows range: brand voice, not just filler and AI garbage
- Comfortable taking direction and matching an existing voice, not just your own
- Based in or near Sioux Falls, able to work hybrid (some in-studio time required)
- Someone who reads "AI is the product of averages" and has an opinion about it
How to Apply
Skip the generic cover letter. Send us:
- Your resume or portfolio link
- Two or three writing samples that show you can adapt voice, not just write well
- A short paragraph: what do you think "clarity before creative" actually means?
Applications without the third item won't be considered. We're not being difficult. We're testing whether you can follow direction, because that's the job.
Salt & Serif is an equal opportunity employer.
Pay: $30.00 - $35.00 per hour
