About the role
As our Content Producer, you’ll create content to be shared on brand channels to drive brand engagement & advocacy. You’ll use your strategic ideas, creative flair and write copy across a number of different formats; emails, blogs, social media, videos, scripts, brand documents, website, case studies. You’ll be working directly with clients to help tell their stories.
While you focus on finding the story, idea and copy that will engage, you’ll collaborate with our core team who’ll help manage the client, support on design, video editing and publishing. If you’d like to lean into any of those areas we’d be more than happy to make that work for you.
For this role we’re seeking a Content Producer with 3 or more years experience creating content with a focus on writing.

Projects you could’ve been involved in
You can...

You know how to ask client’s the right questions to tell a story and have a special craft in translating to words through copywriting.
Be strategic and act
You’re an expert in what makes audiences tick and know how to meld industry best practice with the magic of our client’s brand to create and implement a kick-butt content strategy.
