AWAI Announces Copy “Dream Team” Positions Available in Florida Office

AWAI Executive Director Katie Yeakle announced today the formation of a Copy “Dream Team” in their Florida offices. AWAI is looking to hire several staff copywriters at this year’s Bootcamp in November.

As Katie explained …

“There will be over 40 companies looking for writers at this year’s Bootcamp Job Fair … all great companies that offer great potential for you. But nobody will be looking for writers more aggressively than me.”

One of AWAI’s goals for 2009 is to have a copywriting “Dream Team” in place by January – four, five, or six writers on staff to handle everything from short ads to full-blown sales packages.

AWAI has a dozen new products in development for the rest of 2008 and 2009. And by Katie’s estimates, they’ll need at least 35 promotions just for these. Plus, there are all of AWAI’s existing products, which they’ll need another 20 or 30 letters for.

Those hired for the positions in AWAI’s Florida offices will work closely with Paul Hollingshead, Don Mahoney, Michael Masterson, Rebecca Matter, Katie Yeakle, and the rest of the editorial and marketing staff to develop copy ideas day in and day out.

“Nobody knows our products better than our own members,” says Katie. “AWAI is a fun, growing and dynamic group to work with. We’ll work with you, nurture you, train you – and pay you (salary AND bonuses).”

If you’re serious about being a part of AWAI’s Copy Dream Team, submit a writing sample to Katie Yeakle at kyeakle@awaionline.com before October 1st. (This can be one of your Bootcamp specs or something else you’ve written.)

Katie will contact you by October 20th to set up your interview with Paul, Don, Rebecca or Katie during the week of Bootcamp. They will go over your sample … get to know you … and decide if there’s a fit.

If AWAI hires you, they’ll even reimburse you for your Bootcamp registration, airfare and hotel! As Katie says, “Consider it a ‘signing’ bonus!”

If you haven’t registered for Bootcamp yet … but would like to have your best shot at joining AWAI’s Copy Dream Team … I encourage you to sign up for Bootcamp today!
