What is a freelance medical copywriter?

A Freelance Medical Copywriter is a professional writer who creates clear, accurate, and persuasive content about medical topics for clients such as healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, or medical publishers.

Excellent research abilities, client communication, and adaptability are standout soft skills in this role.

There's no "day to day" in your job because every day is a new medium, a new message and a new chance to make brilliant creative, but here are a few things you can be expected to deliver consistently:

  • A keen pulse on everything the Web has to offer (including, you know, the latest celebrity Twitter meltdown) so that we can always be fresh and current for our clients.
  • An exuberant work ethic and exacting attention to detail, whether it's punctuating your copy, answering a brief or staying true to the brand's tone and style.
  • A love of collaborating with your team members - creative directors, art directors, designers, coders and other equally talented eccentrics - to consistently deliver polished, award-worthy work.
  • Cross-channel perfection: One concept, so many messaging mediums - you'll be a master at making an idea translate effectively and flawlessly across all marketing assets.

  • Energy, a sense of humor, and an open and curious mind (yes, these things really do matter).
  • A love of words and a love of culture, both the good old stuff and the sizzling new pop stuff.
  • Communication skills that leave no room for questions or angst - you're straightforward, you're candid and, above all, you're thoughtful and kind.
  • Strong experience on large cross-channel and/or direct-marketing initiatives across media, both online and off.
  • A willingness to travel as needed (hey, new places, new faces, new ideas - right?).
  • A four-year degree (preferably in English, journalism or a related field) and two to four years of stellar work experience in an advertising or interactive agency.
  • Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALLE, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation.
