As a Creative Copywriter at PopSockets, you'll craft engaging and clever copy across digital and physical formats, collaborating with teams to enhance brand voice and drive marketing efforts.
Launched in 2014 by former philosophy professor David Barnett, PopSockets is a global digital-lifestyle company that sells empowering, fun, and expressive products that improve people’s digital lives. PopSockets has sold close to 300 million of its iconic phone grips in 75 countries and now has an expanding ecosystem of related products, including phone cases, wallets, mounts, batteries, and chargers.
Our mission is to empower enhanced mobile functionality, self-expression, and authentic human connection. We imagine an Eternal Positivity Machine that sparks joy, creativity, and meaningful relationships. We bring this vision to life by upholding the highest standards in materials, packaging, logistics, and design—while ensuring our supply chain and labor practices remain ethical, responsible, and transparent.
In 2021, PopSockets was honored as one of Fast Company’s World's Most Innovative Companies.
PopSockets isn't just a grip. It's a personality. And we need a writer who gets that—someone who can turn a product benefit into a punchline, a campaign into a moment, and a piece of packaging into something worth reading twice.
As our Creative Copywriter, you'll be the voice behind virtually every touchpoint—digital, physical, and everywhere in between. You'll work across email, social, paid media, product packaging, retail environments, video scripts, and more, crafting copy that is clever, clear, and unmistakably PopSockets. This is a mid-level role for a writer with 3–5 years of brand or agency experience who is ready to take real ownership and grow into a key creative voice for the brand.
You'll be embedded within the Brand Creative team, collaborating closely with designers, marketers, and product leaders to ensure every message lands with the same energy, wit, and warmth that defines who we are.
