- Write captions and copy for platforms including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
- Schedule and publish posts and manage community engagement, including replies, comments, and direct messages.
- Report on post performance and growth metrics.
- Write and distribute email newsletters.
- Craft public statements and announcements on behalf of clients.
- Ensure all writing reflects the appropriate brand voice and speaks to the intended audience.
- Collaborate with the creative director, project management team, and design and video teams.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience across social media management, communications, and copywriting.
- Strong command of brand voice and audience, with the ability to move between different client tones while keeping messaging clear, intentional, and aligned with strategy.
- Strong planning skills and the ability to deliver polished copy on deadline.
- Familiarity with tools such as Sprout Social and Mailchimp is a plus.
- A background in brand strategy or content marketing is a strong advantage.
- Experience filming social media content with a phone or camera, along with the ability to edit that footage, is a plus.
- Experience serving clients in retail, real estate, nonprofit, community, or food and beverage sectors is especially welcome.
