Copy Director

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

We’re TwoTone Creative—a fast-moving, strategy-driven marketing and design agency based in West Des Moines, Iowa. We don’t just create content. We craft messages that cut through the noise, build trust, and move people to action.

Words matter here. They shape brands, tell stories, and spark growth. That’s why we’re looking for a Copy Director who can lead the charge—someone who can set the tone for our clients’ voices, guide a team of writers, and deliver ideas that hit hard and stay memorable.

As Copy Director, you’ll own the creative vision for all things copy. You’ll collaborate with designers and strategists to make sure every message feels powerful and on-brand. You’ll mentor writers, elevate client messaging, and keep projects moving with clarity and confidence.

If you’re a storyteller at heart, a leader by nature, and obsessed with words that work, this might be your next big move.
