Words are all used up and hard to say. They've all been wasted on the shampoo commercials, the ads, and the flavorings. How can you love a floor wax? How can you love a diaper? How can you find a way through words to somebody's gut? [Ed. Can we hire this person to help us finish writing this job listing?]
We're looking for a good storyteller that has mastered the art of conversation and perhaps is a little too addicted to reality TV. What makes the masses watch? You know, because you have the uncanny ability to connect with people in a way no one else can. We need a marketing writer who can produce killer copy for a varied client list--everything from tackle boxes to virtual reality headgear. This is an on-site contract position, but has the potential to become full-time.
We're hiring an MC to mix it up with our aspiring team of Design Jockeys. This is someone with a keen ear for audience and who can really sell a story. You've gotta have that uncanny ability to connect with people; your taglines are spot on, you appear to speak in images, you can hold a room. You aren't content just writing any old thing; it's got to create a buzz, provoke a feeling, spark some meaningful action. We need you to meet our clients' audience, search out opportunities and generate ideas, and then help us nail it time and again. You'll be helping ZURB kick out some killer content, too.
What are we looking for?
As a Content Developer, here are some of the things you'll be expected to do:
- Developing, writing, and editing print and online marketing materials for ZURB as well as our clients. Materials could include: website content, product brochures, advertising, direct marketing, e-mail campaign copy, newsletters and presentations.
- Conducting market research and analysis
- Experience writing for the web
- Ability to work independently with minimal direction
- Experience writing marketing content
- Basic HTML programming capabilities are a plus
- Superior organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple projects at once
- Experience interfacing with clients
- Agency experience is a plus
- A catchy subject line with the words Content Developer at the front
- URL to your portfolio
- A list of your top 3 skills
- Your best teamwork tactic
- Your resume
