Obscenely Talented Senior Copywriter Wanted.

We’re Mortar, a San Francisco agency dedicated to shaping conversations between people and brands. We like showing up in unexpected places with something surprising to say. Which is where you come in.

Like us, you’re maybe a little hard to define. A brilliant writer for sure, but a conceptual powerhouse as well. You’ve worked on your fair share of print campaigns, broadcast spots, websites, social media promotions, you name it. To you, the medium doesn’t matter—only that what you do is smart, relevant, and more than a little ballsy.

We’re looking for at least 5-7 years of relevant agency experience. You know how to work with an integrated team and you’re comfortable taking a few risks. Naturally, you know how to communicate your vision to clients in a way that gets them excited, too. And you’ll need a sense of humor. Or, at the very least, be able to laugh in the face of intense pressure. And laugh at yourself. And us. Definitely.

If this sounds like a possible match, let’s chat. Start by sending a link to hireme@mortaragency.com. If we like what we see, we’ll get back to you stat. Given our need for speed, we’ll give strong preference to candidates already based in the Bay Area.

Graphic Designer With Picture Of Orangutang.

We’re an SF agency dedicated to finding new and better ways to reach today’s slightly pissed-off consumers, and we’re hiring a Graph…wait, wait, wait. Hold the @*#@ing phone. Why are we hiring another designer? What, we don’t have enough fixed-gear bicycles and neck beards? Get one of those hipsters to write your stupid want ad. Or maybe they can design one. “Oooh. Look. Helvetica! Let’s all drink coffee!” Fine. We’ll hire one. But we’re gonna stick a bunch of random crap in the job requirements just to torture them into actually reading the copy.

Needing Senior Account Executive With Giant, Pulsating Brain.

Star-Trek-The-Cage-Talosians-thumb-330x247-81629

Did you ever see that old episode of Star Trek with the scary aliens in the blue sparkly muu-muus who could just kind of pulse their giant brains at you and get you to do stuff? That’s the type of impregnable leadership and persuasive moxie we’re looking for. (Minus the sparkly muu-muus. We think.)
