A Note on AI, Because It’s Important

We’re an AI-first agency, and we expect you to use AI well. What we’re against is producing content that is obviously AI as it is typically full of empty prose, repetition and logical fallacies. Our clients hire us specifically because the work we produce is better than that. The principle is to use AI where appropriate to be fast, but use your judgement, writing and editing skills to make it good. If you can use AI as a tool while still producing work that reads unmistakably human, this role is for you. If you can't tell the difference between AI output and what genuinely good writing looks like, this isn't the role for you.
