Job Description

Point B Communications, an independent branding & advertising agency in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, is searching for an art director to join its growing creative department.

Who We Are

Point B is a full-service, mid-sized branding and advertising agency with over 50 years of experience moving people from point a to point b. Though much has changed since we first opened our doors in 1974, moving people remains our core competency and our passion - moving them to diverse geographies, attractions, and experiences. Emotionally, virtually, and physically.

Along the way, we’ve learned a thing or two about what motivates people – and what doesn’t. We believe that perfection is the enemy of progress, and that going faster always means going together.

We help our clients figure out their true objectives - and then map the journey to achieve them. To move people to buy, to dine, to relax, to book, to change, to stay, and to experience - the key is curiosity. Curiosity to research, listen, and understand.

Our industry-leading strategic, digital, and creative expertise finds the spark that drives people from point a to point b.

The Senior Copywriter Role

The person who always knows what to say. The best storyteller at the table. A dynamic thinker, a masterful writer, and a creative leader. The right fit for our senior copywriter role will have deep experience in crafting and maintaining differing brand voices and advertising concepts for a variety of industry clients. They will play a cornerstone part in developing brand personalities and campaign concepts from the ground up, working with other copywriters, art directors, and strategists to build creative ideas into compelling, informative communications ready for the real world.

Our senior copywriter will be a primary creative contributor, a mentor to junior creatives, and will also roll up their sleeves and word-smith longform copy that works. Unafraid to weather any brainstorm while remembering to dot their i’s and cross their t’s.
