Copywriter
A Quick Note Before You Get Started
This isn’t your average copywriting gig. Bedford is looking for a human who actually loves words, not someone who leans on AI to generate them. They’re a DTC email agency that works with interesting 7- and 8-figure brands, and they care deeply about craft. If you want to write emails that make people feel something (and then buy something), this could be a great fit. They read every application personally, so your voice matters more than your resume.

Description
We believe great emails make people feel something first, and buy second. We're growing quickly and need a writer who cares about the craft and wants to do the best writing of their career across brands people actually love.

Responsibilities:
1. Write emails that get opened, clicked, and remembered
2. Adapt your tone and voice across a variety of brand personalities
3. Iterate quickly based on direct feedback and real performance data
4. Contribute to creative strategy, not just execution, bring proactive ideas to the table
Requirements:
1. Outstanding writing skills above all else
2. Strong taste—you can tell when copy falls flat, and it genuinely bothers you
3. Ability to write and think quickly under deadlines
4. Understanding of ecommerce (bonus if you shop online frequently yourself)
5. Low ego with high standards—you welcome direct feedback to make the work better
6. Prior DTC copy experience is a plus, but not mandatory

· Exceptional written communication
· Tone versatility (playful, premium, cheeky, funny, etc.)
· Fast iteration and revision
· Strategic thinking beyond the page
· Ecommerce fluency
· Receptiveness to constructive feedback
How To Apply
Submit your application directly, no AI-generated cover letters, please. A real human reads every single submission. Show us your brain, your voice, and your ability to write without a prompt. If you can’t write without the help of AI, this role is not for you.
Why Apply
· You’ll be joining a growing agency that explicitly values human creativity over automation, rare in today’s market.
· The salary range is transparent and flexible, with room to earn more based on your actual output, not just tenure.
· You’ll work on brands that are already successful (7–8 figures), meaning your work will have real visibility and impact.
· The emphasis on "low ego, high standards" suggests a culture that prioritizes improvement over ego, ideal for writers who actually want to get better.
Before You Apply
· The employer specifically warns against using AI to write your application. Write your cover letter and any samples from scratch, in your own voice.
· If you don’t have prior DTC experience, lean into your understanding of ecommerce and online shopping habits, show you know the space.
· Be prepared to share examples that demonstrate tonal range, not just one style.
· They value speed and iteration, so consider including a brief example of how you’ve revised copy based on performance data or feedback in the past.
