About the job
Who We Are:
Brooks is a team of passionate people united by a desire to do meaningful work, lead healthy lives and make a difference. We share a focused mission: to inspire everyone to run and be active. That’s it. No distractions—it’s all about the run. Through science, creativity, service, authenticity and connection, we obsess over delivering the best running gear on the planet. We do it our way, with our unique spirit, with a goal of being more relevant to runners than any other brand, day after day and mile after mile. We are determined to innovate, challenging ourselves to lead thought at every turn. Inside these walls and on the roads, tracks and trails, we live and breathe Run Happy, celebrating the positive impact running has on our lives and others. We inject it into all we do because it makes everything better, smarter, more fun and more memorable. Our company culture defines us, bonds us together and creates the conditions for success. It is lived daily as a behavioral expression of our collective set of brand values: Connect with People, Innovate for our Customer, Compete as a Team, Build Trust, Have Fun & Bring Passion, and Be Active. If you’re on our team, it means you’re part of creating something extraordinary. You’re part of Brooks.
Your Job:
The Brooks Brand Creative Team imagines/designs/manifests creative concepts, campaigns, and assets that define and express the Brooks brand to runners across the globe, with a mission to inspire everyone to run their path to a better self. Web, social, video, print, retail, packaging, events—even porta potties—are our canvas.
You will create compelling, branded stories. Our tone and voice reflect our brand personality, so it’s essential for you to shape and uphold brand guidelines in order to maintain a strong, consistent brand presence across channels. The goal of our messaging is to create memorable moments through storytelling—the right words can empower and inspire runners to share in our joy and passion for running. And our audience can spot a phony — so we want to tell stories from the perspective of genuine runner insight.
As a Senior Digital Copywriter at Brooks, you will develop a wide range of copy, from in-depth feature stories, to bite-size content to digital headlines. To be a rock star in this role, you’ll be a creative talent who can champion your point of view while graciously building consensus.

Impeccable spelling, grammar, and proofreading skills are integral to the role.

Talk shop, ask questions, speak up, have a point of view, think strategically, champion the importance of detail, have fun, wear many hats, roll up your sleeves, and cultivate optimism. Go for a run with your team.
