About Us

Welcome to Fun With Drawing: the world's most-loved online art school!

We create best-selling online courses and resources for digital artists. Founded by industry expert Charly Clements, we've quickly exploded onto the scene, amassing over 100,000 students and thousands of five-star reviews from artists worldwide.

This isn't just another "cutesy" art school. Our courses make a real difference in people's lives daily: helping them land dream jobs, improve their mental health, and build self-confidence through art.

We have extremely high standards, and aim to be world-class in everything we do—from course design to student support. If "good enough" is good enough for you, we're probably not a match. But if you’re excited to join a small team of exceptional people solving exceptional challenges, you’ll thrive here!

Life’s too short to hate your job, so humor, camaraderie, and having fun are baked into our company DNA (we even put it in our name). We hold high standards, push ourselves to excel, and still manage to truly enjoy what we do—for our students and ourselves.

Job Summary

We’re looking for a Copywriter & Email Marketing Specialist to plan and write daily/weekly content that entertains, educates, nurtures, and sells our courses and products.

In this role, you’ll be boosting lifetime value (LTV) from our email list, shaping monthly promotions, and owning the entire email marketing process—from ideation to data analysis.

To succeed at this role, you should be exceptionally skilled at writing, persuasion, and coming up with interesting and unique content angles. Due to the visual nature of our niche, you must also be good at finding supporting visuals to illustrate the points you make in your copy.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

• Plan Content Strategy: Work closely with Founders to craft monthly calendars for emails and social posts.
• Write Daily & Weekly Copy: Draft engaging nurture emails, social updates, and promotional content.
• Manage Email Automations: Upload, schedule, and optimize sequences in ConvertKit (buyer surveys, abandoned carts, feedback requests, etc.).
• Track Metrics & A/B Test: Monitor open rates, CTRs, conversions, and unsubscribes. Continuously refine copy based on data insights.
• Collaborate on Visual Concepts: Work with our design team or freelancers to ensure your copy is supported by strong, cohesive imagery.
• Landing Page Copy: Write persuasive landing page copy, test variations, and ensure each page aligns with the overall campaign.

Why You, Why Now?

Our audience is rapidly expanding (over 200,000+ and growing), and we want someone with direct-response copy chops and a flair for creativity to help us stand out in a visually driven niche. You’ll work closely with founders Charly and Fabian to craft captivating content, propose new campaigns, and test fresh ideas.

If you love storytelling and turning words into revenue, you’ll fit right in!

Nice to Haves:
