Job Description

C2’s client, a Milwaukee-based independent creative agency with a get-it-done spirit, whose clients include some of the best-known names in tech, outdoor sports and consumer advocacy, wants to see Copywriter candidates for potential future engagements. This is a bench-building exercise to line up talent for work in 2027.

This agency runs on genuine care for its people. Contractors, interns and full-time staff all count as part of the team, and teammates have worked from just about everywhere, because what matters is that the work gets done. Between shoots and deadlines, the crew makes time for outdoor adventures, video game breaks and the occasional ballpark outing, and the Milwaukee summers help.

A bias for getting things done runs through the culture, and the work backs it up.
