AI Alchemist
Misfits & Machines — the innovation arm of Marketing Architects — is building the next generation of AI-powered creative tools for advertising. We're not an agency that uses AI. We're a product team that's reimagining how great advertising gets made.
The problem we're solving: The advertising industry is at an inflection point. AI can generate content, but it can't yet create advertising — work that persuades, moves people, and builds brands. The gap between "cool AI demo" and "asset that drives marketing effectiveness" is massive. We're closing it by building tools that combine real advertising craft with cutting-edge AI — from AI-powered script generation to mass creative customization to persuasion modeling.
About us: Marketing Architects is a 25-year-old, Minneapolis-based TV agency serving national brands like Nuts.com, BambooHR, and Joybird. Misfits & Machines is our product innovation lab — a small, fast-moving team building proprietary AI tools like Mass Customizer (AI-driven TV creative personalization at scale) and custom LoRA models for brand-consistent AI video generation. We've already shipped real products; this isn't a research project.
The role: As our Creative Strategist Copywriter, you'll be one of three creative builders on the team — alongside an audio specialist and a visual specialist — reporting to the Chief Product Architect. You'll generate world-class ideas and copy across TV, video, and omnichannel campaigns while simultaneously shaping how AI elevates creativity. Think of yourself as both the creative conscience (ensuring our AI tools meet real advertising standards) and the mad scientist (exploring what's possible when you chain Runway, ElevenLabs, ComfyUI, and custom models together). This is a hands-on maker role — you write, experiment, and build. No delegating, no approval matrices, no client presentations.
What we're looking for: You've spent 7+ years mastering advertising copywriting — TV spots, video campaigns, brand strategy that actually moves people and business metrics. Your portfolio proves it. But lately, you've been losing weekends to AI. You're chaining multimodal tools together, tinkering with the latest model drops, and maybe even building your own creative tools on the side. You're fluent in what's possible and what's broken across video, audio, and image generation. You're ready to stop making campaigns and start building the tools that make campaigns.
What we offer: $140k-$160K base salary + 10-12% annual performance bonus. Fully remote (US-based, excluding California). The chance to shape AI-powered advertising tools from the inside — not as a user, but as a builder. Small team, high ownership, real products shipping to real brands.
