Copywriter

Around here, Copywriters do more than write. They're idea generators,
question-askers, fact-checkers, researchers and proofreaders. They know our client
brands inside and out. They make connections between concepts, departments and
culture, and they put out a ton of smart, creative work as a result. If you're curious,
collaborative, prolific, and comfortable jumping between brands, voices, and projects,
let's talk.

ABOUT CORNETT
Named a 2021 Small Agency of the Year, Gold Southeast by Ad Age. Proudly small,
independent and female-owned.
We're a collective of fun-loving, intelligent, imaginative, driven and sometimes rowdy
weirdos. Like any good Kentuckian, we're genuine and hospitable. We don't like big
egos. We're open-minded. We play nice. We share. We're fostering a culture centered
on inclusiveness, where all of our people can show up every day and be 100%
themselves and feel 100% comfortable, celebrated and respected for the perspective
they bring to Cornett.

Our goal is to be an agency where any brand can come to us, with any audience and
any challenge, and we're able to deliver and connect culturally beyond their wildest
expectations.

ABOUT LEXINGTON
If you've been to Lexington, you love it. If you haven't been, you will. A beautiful,
culturally rich place full of good people. For a mid-sized city, we have an oversized but
tight-knit creative community that permeates everything-food, art, bourbon, music, industry. A little bit Southern, a little bit Midwest, making for a vibe that's unique but the
best of everything.

We're surrounded by rolling hills and gorgeous horse farms, with a thriving, bustling and
constantly evolving downtown. Within a short drive, you can see where the Bluegrass
kisses the Appalachian Mountains. You can chase waterfalls. You can hike into absolute
seclusion. And you can explore the Red River Gorge, one of the best-kept geological
wonders in America. Not to mention, the cost-of-living makes you feel like you're getting away with
something.

Like we said, there's a lot to love about our big little city.
