On-Call Bilingual Creative Copywriter

You've crafted headlines, taglines, social posts, calls to action, website blurbs, and countless other bundles of words with a smile, a nod, and the occasional pained grin. You’re a copywriter who can flip between English and Spanish sin perder el ritmo. You love what you do so much, you can do it in two languages. You have enough experience to have a few battle scars, but not enough that you’re cynical. You keep an eye on the business as well as your craft. You get excited about great ideas and fight to make them come to life. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
