ABOUT ECOSIA

Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, is one of the world's largest social businesses and the first B Corporation in Germany. As part of our mission to cultivate a more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable world, we want to reverse the tide of deforestation by planting a billion native trees. So far our 15 million users have planted over 80 million trees. Our reach is expanding in all means and we are growing and planting worldwide.

Ecosia is looking for a Freelance Copywriter extraordinaire

We’re Ecosia, the green search engine that uses its profits to plant trees. We generate profit through search engine advertising, and spend upwards of 80% of our revenue on tree planting projects around the world.

Since 2009 we’ve delivered a digital, video-first marketing and advertising program with in-house copy and creative leads. Our audience is uniquely young (Gen Z and younger Millennials) and highly engaged, and we use a casual, fun and friendly tone of voice to invite them into the Ecosia movement.

As we grow the program, we’re looking for a freelance copywriter to produce effective advertising creative across a number of digital channels, in collaboration with the Integrated Marketing Lead and in-house production team.
