Copy Editor, Brand Governance

Aquent Studios is seeking a talented and meticulous Copy Editor to join our client's Brand Review Team. This is an unparalleled opportunity to play a pivotal role in ensuring brand consistency and excellence across high-volume product launches. You will be at the forefront of every campaign, asset, and name before it reaches the market, directly impacting the voice and integrity of a globally recognized brand. Your expertise will be crucial in streamlining the review process, eliminating bottlenecks, and empowering launch teams to deliver compelling and compliant messaging at speed.

About the Role

As a Copy Editor on the Brand Review Team, you will be a critical guardian of brand integrity, working within a fast-paced, 1-2 week campaign lead time. This dynamic role closes a crucial gap in current review coverage, focusing specifically on copy. You will collaborate closely with launch teams and agencies, providing essential feedback that ensures every piece of communication aligns perfectly with brand guidelines. Your ability to provide clear, actionable, and prioritized feedback will directly contribute to the seamless execution of product launches and the consistent presentation of the brand to millions.

What You'll Do

• Review copy, tone, terminology, and naming for high-priority launch campaigns against established brand guidelines.
• Provide direct, in-artifact feedback within live collaborative tools such as Google Docs, Figma, and Frame.io, enabling launch teams and agencies to implement changes efficiently.
• Categorize every review comment by severity, distinguishing between blocking issues (must fix before launch) and advisory suggestions (fix where time allows), to facilitate effective triage under tight deadlines.
• Document written feedback and outcome summaries in the designated tracking system before closing each case.
• Operate within a defined sprint cadence, actively utilizing team communication tools and the automated launch tracker.
• Escalate unresolved blocking issues to appropriate internal teams when they are approaching a launch date.

Required Skills

• 3-5 years of copyediting experience, with a strong focus on large-scale brand and marketing copy.
• Demonstrated comfort in providing fast, clear, and severity-tagged feedback under significant deadline pressure.
• Proficiency in working within live collaborative tools like Google Docs, Figma, and Frame.io, moving beyond static file review.
• Ability to thrive within a defined sprint cadence and adhere to established escalation processes.
• Exceptional judgment to differentiate between critical, brand-compliance blocking issues and advisory polish suggestions.

What You Won't Be Doing

• Creating or producing campaign assets.
• Evaluating naming for trademark or legal clearance.
• Owning brand strategy, architecture, or authoring brand guidelines.
• Handling case coordination, intake, tiering, or tracker upkeep.
