Copywriter

Well Done provides strategic and integrated marketing solutions for clients who share our goal of making the world a better place. Whether it’s health care, education, energy, the public sector, or something else, as long as it’s championing a better tomorrow, we consider it a privilege to rally around it. 

As a copywriter at Well Done, you’ll be responsible for coming up with compelling ideas, finding the right words, and bringing those ideas to life. You’ll need a strong understanding of copywriting in various formats including print, digital, experiential, social, video, radio, and other mediums where you find pretty words. 

You’ll also be expected to work well with others—because teamwork makes the dream work, right? Art director(s), creative director(s), office dog(s), and our clients will all be counting on your powerful brain, which is a pretty special thing. 

We know we’re only as good as the people we surround ourselves with, which is why we make sure our employees know they’re valued. We offer: 

• Market-adjusted salaries
• Flexible PTO
• Home office stipend
• Robust health and medical plan
• Annual wellness stipend
• Annual professional development stipend
• 401K plan with a 4% match effective day one

We’re committed to growing. Not just as it relates to clients and work (though we are), but as a team and as citizens. In 2020, we joined other key community members in signing the Indy Racial Equity Pledge, which we continue to hold ourselves publicly accountable to. In 2022, we became a WBE (Women Business Enterprise) of the City of Indianapolis, and empowered our DEI Committee to audit our current practices and implement an agency-wide action plan. 

When it comes to the day-to-day, we’ve embraced a hybrid office model so our employees can work from home when they want or need to. But we also love to see each other at our well-stocked, dog-friendly office in the Fountain Fletcher District of Indianapolis. 

There’s more, of course: chili cook-offs, a kickball league, a book club for banned books, and a lot more that has to be experienced firsthand—because sometimes you just have to be here to truly grasp the Well Done way. 

If you’re a talented copywriter who's interested in doing meaningful work alongside other passionate and affirming humans, we’d love to hear from you.
