why so curious?

why so curious

Curiosity is at our core.

All kinds of people call CP their work home. But no matter our department, our title, our golf handicap or our go-to karaoke song, there’s one thing that unites us.

Feverishly unquenchable curiosity. “Why” isn’t just our favorite word it’s our daily rallying cry. So If you count relentless curiosity as your greatest asset (or heck, even your biggest pitfall) we’d love to talk.

Benefits built for you.

  • Wellness
    Medical Benefits

    Every year, we audit our benefits offered to ensure options reflect employee needs, including coverage for healthcare, dental, short & long-term disability, and life insurance.

    Parental Leave

    Becoming a parent is one of the most life changing events you can experience. To support you in this next chapter of your life, we provide parental leave policies for the birth mother and the primary caregiver for adoption fully paid for 12 weeks and for other primary caregivers (non-birthing), we provide fully paid up to 4 weeks.

    Tea bar

    Regularly drinking tea can have a lasting impact on your wellness (it’s also a fave of Steve Connelly). Our tea bar is fully stocked – Jasmine, Green Tea, Chamomile…whatever you like, odds are you’ll find it here.

  • Flexibility
    Hybrid Schedule

    We’ve always been and always will be an agency that’s built on personal connection; we believe in the power of organic exchange. Our hybrid structure (in office three days per week) prioritizes face-to-face interaction and allows each employee to share more of what makes them special, all while providing flexibility.

    Flexible Work Hours

    We’re not the type of agency that patrols the hallways and counts heads at desks. We trust our employees to get their work done and tend to life’s various needs. If you have an appointment, need to get your kid to practice, or take care of a loved one, then do it…we value our employees beyond their work.

  • Time Off
    Paid Time Off

    We encourage our employees to take the time they need to recharge…because we know our collective health, the agency, and our work will be better for it.

  • Recognition
    Milestones

    Today more than ever, this industry shows us that turnover is just part of the norm. For those that take the other path, we show our love – with a loyalty program that recognizes our employees at each anniversary.

    Company Awards

    We like to recognize the people that are kicking ass. Each year, employees are acknowledged for their above-and-beyond contributions by living our mission and values day in and day out.

  • Financial
    401k

    We believe in investing in our employees – for the long term. Though our company’s match is discretionary, we are proud of the fact that we’ve generously matched employee contributions every year since program inception in 2001.

    Student Loan Paydown Plan

    In 2016, we became the first advertising agency to implement a program to help pay down student loan debt faster with monthly employer contributions paid directly to the student loan balance.

    MBTA + Parking

    Commuting can suck – we get it. We help lessen the pain by providing a pre-tax approach for public transportation and/or parking.

    New Biz + Employee Referral Incentive Bonuses

    Our employees are our greatest advocates, and we want to reward them for helping grow our business. So, for any qualified leads that turn into employees or clients, we offer bonuses.

  • Continuing Education & Development
    CP Abroad Program

    To support our culture of curiosity, employees have the opportunity to live and work out of any of our three global offices – Boston, Dublin, and Vancouver for up to 3 months. The program allows employees to immerse themselves in a different culture, experience new places and people, and bring those new perspectives back to CP and our clients.

    Professional Development Program (or CP University)

    We want to create an environment where our employees are always learning. Our ‘Curiosity Series’ is an internal platform where all departments are encouraged to share case studies, new work, department expertise, and more.

    Industry Training + Opportunities

    A big part of this industry is networking – being plugged in creates more opportunities. We encourage employees to attend conferences, speak on panels at conferences, and volunteer their time on key industry boards.

  • Fun
    Friendly Competition

    We’re a competitive bunch so we like to test our skills with tournaments for ping pong, darts, and even karaoke.

    Golf Hub

    With a golf cage and putting green right in the office, golf is clearly a huge part of our agency. We also have a Masters celebration and an occasional team golf outing.

    Roof Deck

    Enjoy one of the best views of Boston on our roof deck – have a meeting, grab some lunch, practice yoga or even chill with friends with a glass of wine.

    Softball Team

    During the dog days of summer, our softball team heads to the Fens to test its grit against other agencies in competitive, but fun games of softball. And Tasty Burger is usually on the docket post-game.

  • Middleweight Copywriter
    • Creative
    • Full-Time

    The role
    As a copywriter, your role is to conceptualise unique and differentiated ideas, then write until the writing component is crafted and finessed to the highest standards – to be set, measured and approved by the Creative Director. You are here to partner with other members of the department to create compelling ideas, stories, meaningful connections and relevant, innovative and exceptional work. No one person in the creative department is solely responsible for ideas generated – they are the result of collaboration. We work and create as a team. So wherever possible, you will be paired with an art director and expected to work together. The work you create will be seen as generated by that team, not by an individual.

    As a middleweight copywriter, you are expected to have enough experience to comprehend the essence of briefs and the requirements. You are expected to seek, accept and implement guidance at regular points during the creative process and take direction and feedback from your seniors and Creative Director. You will also be expected to learn more about your craft and develop your skills, via the guidance of senior creatives and the Creative Director.

    Responsibilities

    • Create and develop unique, breakthrough ideas based on insights and strategic platforms provided by our strategy department
    • Create executions that can be implemented across a variety of channels
    • Craft relevant and engaging copy distinct to each brand’s tone of voice
    • In addition to headlines and body copy, you may be required to write strategic platforms and creative rationales to show where your ideas stem from
    • Present your work clearly and compellingly both internally and to clients, giving proper rationales for client presentation
    • Work with agility, speed and time-efficiency
    • Work within the agreed-upon and defined budget

    You will be required to collaborate with art directors, strategists, social content experts, producers and other members of the agency. You will work across a variety of platforms for our Boston, USA and Dublin clients – including OOH, digital, social, email, radio and video. You will work with teams on specific assignments as needed. You will help nurture a workplace of collaboration amongst all departments, employees and clients. Attention to detail, spelling and grammar are key to this role.

    Qualifications

    • Proficient with copywriting across all media (print, social, CRM, online, radio, TV/Video)
    • Ability to write not just headlines and social media posts, but long form as well
    • Experience in crafting manifestos that can bring the idea to life
    • Experience in concepting radio scripts, video scripts and storyboards, long form copy (emails) and digital and social
    • An unflagging passion for creating ideas, and helping others make ideas better
    • Agency or in-house experience in writing copy, ideating and collaborating with creative teams
    • Creative awards or shortlists are a bonus

    CV, portfolio and references are a must!
