Freelance Exhibition Designer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Digital Counsel is looking for a Freelance Copywriter with strong roots in the art and culture world to support content production across our client accounts. This is a project-based role for a writer who thrives on translating complex ideas into clear, compelling digital copy across registers—from social captions and email subject lines to voice-y newsletters and editorial features.

You're fluent in the language of contemporary art without being precious about it. You write quickly, edit rigorously, and understand that the best copy disappears into the work it describes.

This is a freelance engagement with the potential to grow into a full-time Social Media Manager role for the right candidate. We're looking for someone who wants to build something with us—not just fill a gap.

• Write and refine storyboards and copy for organic and paid social media, web pages, email newsletters, artist profiles, exhibition descriptions, and digital ads, including shortform video.
• Adapt tone and style across institutional, editorial, and social contexts for a range of art and culture clients.
• Support editorial production, including contributing to article drafts, interview edits, and feature writing as needed.
• Incorporate feedback from account managers, designers, and clients efficiently through multiple revision rounds.
• Maintain brand voice consistency and uphold high standards for clarity, accuracy, and cultural fluency.
• Assist with CMS publishing and quality control as needed.

• 2+ years of professional copywriting experience, with a portfolio demonstrating art, culture, or related field work.
• Deep familiarity with contemporary art and cultural discourse; comfortable writing for both specialist and general audiences.
• Experience writing for digital channels including social, email, and web.
• Strong editing skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work quickly, manage deadlines, and communicate proactively with a remote team.
• Familiarity with Figma, Google Presentation, Claude, CMS platforms, Notion, or Basecamp a plus.
