Direct Response Copywriter (Nonprofit & Restaurant Marketing)

Client Overview

Our client operates both a restaurant in the Chicago, Illinois area and an active nonprofit organization. Both sides of the business run ongoing campaigns, events, and audience engagement initiatives. The nonprofit hosts a major annual conference, and the restaurant runs monthly events alongside daily operations. This dual-business model creates consistent demand for high-converting copy across multiple channels.

Job Description

You will craft sales-driven copy that converts across email campaigns, SMS marketing, landing pages, and other digital channels for both a for-profit restaurant and an active nonprofit. This role goes beyond nurturing content. You'll own messaging that drives registrations, attendance, donations, and purchases. You'll also manage customer engagement by responding to Google and Facebook reviews, monitoring a private Facebook group for questions and comments, and maintaining the brand voice across all public-facing interactions. This is a results-oriented role where your words directly impact revenue and mission outcomes.
