Role
Who you are
- You have 2-3 years of experience in copywriting for Growth marketing at an agency or in-house
- You can craft genuine, relatable and jargon-free writing in a way that is accessible and authentic to audiences
- You are passionate about creative copy: you know how to interpret core messaging in myriad ways
- You have a passion for and work experience in fashion, pop culture, beauty—you’re excited about tracking potential vibe shifts
- You have demonstrated experience working on digital-first Growth marketing campaigns that tell engaging product stories and generate measurable results
- You have an understanding of SEO use and utility
- You are attentive to every detail when it comes to the copy you write
- You are a self-starter who has engaged in innovative and detail-oriented ways of working

What the job involves
- We’re the Stitch Fix word people and the internal experts on how to say things. This means we translate complex programs and products into engaging and fun marketing copy (think emails, ads, social) that drives clients and prospective clients to engage with our brand and product: personal online styling services
- While words are the most recognizable thing that we do, writing isn’t necessarily what we spend all-day doing, there’s much more to this role than wordsmithing. We use data to inform how and what we write and spend a lot of time researching, thinking, tweaking, formatting and brainstorming. It’s all in service of one goal: Creating relevant, interesting and informative stories that result in a strong emotional connection with our clients
- Our Copy team is made up of quick learners who are collaborative, versatile, curious and care deeply about the quality of our work, while being open to thoughtful feedback
- Craft engaging and on-brand Growth copy across all channels, while collaborating with designers and marketing partners to create content across a variety of platforms
- Effectively write engaging, strategic, conversion-oriented copy using our style & copy guide, ensuring copy is consistent across project and addresses the client’s pain points and/or needs…all while being fun to read, of course
- Participate in brainstorm/concept meetings; collaborate to find solid solutions to problems; welcome feedback and be prepared to polish, and then polish again
- Consistently be proactive and resourceful in order to find information and solutions. You’re comfortable seeking out necessary information if it isn’t given to you and asking thoughtful questions
- Work in close-knit partnership with the Design and Marketing teams to generate forward-thinking ideas and answer briefs to a high standard
- Have the opportunity to work on a large variety of projects primarily focused on (but not strictly limited to) Growth marketing, including email, site landing pages, paid social (Meta, Pinterest, Reddit, etc.), advertising (in-app ads) and more
- Participate in several projects at a time with ease, stay on task and meet deadlines effectively
Our take
Shopping online for clothes is not always a fun experience. Finding clothes you like is only half the battle. Sizing guides and return policies seem to have been designed to be challenging to understand, and can also vary wildly from company to company.
Stitchfix sets out to change this by making online clothes shopping personalized and hassle-free. Customers take a survey on their personal tastes, and pay a one-off fee for a stylist, to receive a box of 5 personalized items. Then, they simply pay for any items they keep, or return what they don't want free of charge. The stylists fee is deducted from the first purchase and if they keep all 5 items, they receive a discount.
Stitchfix's unique blend of technology, and human touch in styling, allows the company to deliver its personalized experience at scale, with its growing data sets putting them in a great place to predict consumer trends and preferences. Unfortunately, the company has been hit hard by the current economic climate - cutting staff back in June 2022 as well as again in early 2023. Only time will tell if this once exciting brand will be able to bounce back from this bump in the road and find success again in the future.
