Job Description

Copywriter / Brand Journalist

We're looking for an organized, proactive brand journalist with a passion for storytelling to join our team. Are you an exceptional copywriter who wants to put those skills to work in the dynamic world of digital marketing?

Do you love to create engaging blog, website, social media, PR and newsletter content, and understand how that content contributes to a larger marketing plan and resonates across different platforms? Are you empathetic, detail-oriented, excited to get to know our clients, and able to pivot the voice and tone of your copy as needed?

In this role you will work on a variety of writing assignments and interface with different types of clients. You'll craft compelling copy for various channels, potentially including social media graphics, reels, and videos developed by our team. You'll need to be self-sufficient, and able to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines.

At KWSM, you will be part of a driven, hard-working team, while enjoying the balance of a hybrid schedule and every other Friday off. We take career development seriously, and love to train & promote leaders.

As a successful member of our team, you will :

  • Maintain a strong understanding of how different media platforms work and how to tailor copy for maximum impact on each.
  • Research industry news and trends to inform content strategy and identify compelling story angles for written materials.
  • Conduct interviews with diverse sources to gather information and compelling quotes for use in content.
  • Write engaging copy and captions for various visual content formats like social media graphics and videos.
  • Produce high-quality written content for multiple platforms (e.g., news articles, blog posts, scripts) optimized for SEO best practices.
  • Collaborate on sourcing or conceptualizing photos and videos that enhance written content and social media posts.
  • Review and potentially provide feedback on video / audio content to ensure messaging is clear and aligns with project goals.
  • You must have a journalism or English degree, or equivalent work experience. Proficiency with Wordpress, MailChimp (or similar), and major social media channels is required. Experience writing for various digital formats and collaborating on multimedia projects is a plus.

    KWSM operates on a 9 / 80 work schedule. This means we have every other Friday off, allowing us to get more accomplished in fewer days and enjoy three-day weekends every other week. We work a hybrid schedule - 3 days in the office and 2 days at home. We offer health insurance, 401K, paid vacation, 11 paid holidays a year, and many opportunities for internal promotion, mentoring, professional development, and leadership.

    This is a full-time, in-office position. (Can be located in KWSM San Diego, KWSM Orange County or KWSM Atlanta)

  • Resume
  • Screenshots of recent social media posts (4-5 samples) including a brief description of what you intended to accomplish
  • Writing samples demonstrating your ability to write for various formats (e.g., blog posts, website copy, social media copy).
  • Salary range : $60K - $70K
