Bluefrog is looking for a writer - do you fit the bill?


Thanks for the applications for the role of writer at Bluefrog. The closing date has now passed. We received many strong applications and were very impressed with the time and effort candidates put into their responses to the brief. We will hold onto all applications received.

If you would like to be considered for any future vacancy, please send your details to writer@bluefroglondon.com.


We’re looking for a writer to join our creative team. Previous experience either agency or charity-side is preferred, but we are also willing to train someone who shows they have the intelligence, drive and ability (however raw) to do the job. Salary dependent on experience £20-30k.

Got experience?
If you’ve worked in a charity or for an agency, great. Please send us a letter telling us why you’re suitable for the job with relevant work samples. Alternatively, we would like to see what you can do with the dummy brief below.

If you haven’t done anything like this before, we definitely need to see what you can do with the dummy brief below.

Skills
Great with words. Eager to learn. Full of ideas. Attention to detail. Work fast. Team player. Not precious. Motivated by working with good causes.

How to apply

  1. Download the brief using the link below.
  2. Come up with an idea/ideas for a mailing pack. We don’t expect you to be able to draw but get a cross your idea with a rough sketch or by describing formats/images.
  3. Write a letter to go with your pack, which motivates the target audience to give £30.
  4. Send back your ideas and sample copy with a covering letter explaining why you should have the job.

IMPORTANT
This is our busiest time as we prepare Christmas campaigns for the charities we work for. We have no dedicated HR function. This means we can’t answer any phone calls or emails from you. One advert can generate so many applications that we cannot respond individually, but that we do hold onto them should a suitable opportunity come up in the future.

Good luck - we look forward to seeing what you can do.

Please get back to us by Monday 11th October 9am.
