Remote copywriters give teams ongoing writing ownership without the slow hiring cycles, rotating freelancers, or agency queues that stall content production.
Publishing gaps appear when freelancers leave mid-calendar or between campaigns. A dedicated marketer stays with the account and retains campaign context.

We begin with a discovery call to understand your page types, content workflows, review process, brand voice, and publishing priorities. This helps us source copywriters who fit the way your marketing team already works.
Within 3 to 5 business days, you'll receive a curated shortlist of vetted full-time copywriters. You interview the candidates and choose the writer who best fits your team and workflow.
Once you've made your selection, we handle contracts, payroll, and compliance. Your dedicated copywriter typically joins your team within 2 weeks, ready to support SEO, campaigns, landing pages, and ongoing content production.
Top-rated by Clutch
We’re proud to be named by Clutch as a trusted leader in outsourcing.
During vetting, we screen candidates using writing samples and relevant experience before you ever see a profile. A brief-based test assignment then checks how closely a candidate's structure, tone, and voice match your brand before you interview and hire.
We evaluate candidates for research discipline, structure, editing judgment, and tone adaptation. During scoping, we can also account for your brand guidelines, AI-use expectations, review process, and originality standards.
Vetted copywriter profiles are typically delivered within 3 to 5 business days after scoping. Most clients complete hiring in 1 to 2 weeks. Timeliness may extend due to location, portfolio requirements, seniority, industry needs, and tool requirements.
1840 provides a replacement at no added cost if the selected copywriter leaves or does not match the agreed role scope. We stand behind our vetting process and ensure continuity to keep your content production and revision cycles uninterrupted.
