Startup digital content services company seeks experienced, digital-savvy journalists, writers, reporters and editors, for new adventures in interactive marketing.


Position: Content Producer Journalists, Writers, Reporters, Columnists, Editors, Producers with publishing, broadcast news, print news, or relevant digital experience

Job description:
* The Content Producer creates content and manages multiple online platforms on behalf of the client. First and foremost, this is a story telling position in the journalistic sense, and requires a creative mindset, experience in investigative reporting techniques, some marketing expertise, and mastery of English.
* The ability to write insightful, helpful, engaging content based on client marketing objectives is a core competency. If you can make the seemingly mundane magical, we want to talk to you.
* Day to day activity includes creating, editing, testing, and deploying email messages, blog posts, social media posts and status updates, as well as media-oriented posting (video and images). Monitoring and moderating user response is also a big part of the job.
* All content is created based on an integrated content timeline that coincides with other pre-planned offline and online marketing activities - meeting deadlines is a must.

Skill sets:
* The Content Producer must be able to consistently produce high volumes of high quality online content for multiple clients as part of a digital content team.
* As we are taking a new operational approach to interactive marketing, we will be constantly learning and adjusting the way we execute - so, it's important that you're comfortable with lots of change, that you take initiative, give feedback, and that you have a lot of pride in your work.
* This is not an ad agency job. This is not a programming, design, or development position.

  • No programming knowledge is required but user-level or admin-level familiarity with the following platforms is helpful:
  • Experience with WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, and/or other blogging tools.
  • Experience with ExactTarget, Constant Contact, MyEmma, Subscriber Mail, and/or other email delivery platforms.
  • Experience with Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, and/or other social networking platforms.
  • Experience with Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Picasa, and/or other media sharing tools.
  • Experience with Digg, Delicious, Reddit, and other related tagging and voting tools.
  • Understanding of online analytics software like Google Analytics, Omniture, and other reporting tools - training will be provided.
  • Understanding of dynamic content development and database driven 1:1 marketing is a huge plus - training will be provided.
  • Understanding of SEO, keyword taxonomy, link building, and how search engines work in general is a huge plus - training will be provided.
  • Experience with basic video editing tools like Final Cut is a definite plus, but not required.
  • Understanding of Information Architecture, Usability, and other related interactive planning methodology is helpful but not required
  • Basic knowledge of HTML / CSS is helpful but not required. Ability to use basic media editing tools like Final Cut Express is also helpful.

Requirements:
* Minimum of two years experience writing, reporting, editing or producing in a journalism, publishing or news environment, preferably broadcast / TV or online news

* Keen understanding of marketing in general, and interactive marketing specifically.

* High degree of intellectual curiosity is a requirement.

* You must be fun to work with and comfortable in a highly transparent, fluid environment. That makes it sound like we work underwater, but we totally do not.

* BA in Journalism, Communications or a related field from a 4-year college. MBA - OK,  but not required.

* Due to the overwhelming number of candidate resumes we’ve received, all of our staffing at this time will be on a contract to hire basis, with full-time positions offered only for our highest-performing candidates.

Next Steps:
We anticipate having multiple full time positions available over the next 6-12 months, as well as part time and contract opportunities. We’re a fairly liberal employer and are open to job sharing, flex time, work from home, and other scenarios. Please send your resume, three writing samples, references, salary requirements, and any portfolio materials to iwanttowork@raidious.com

Startup digital content services company seeks experienced, digital-savvy strategists, marketers, consultants, and analysts, for new adventures in interactive marketing.


Position: Account Manager / Content Strategist  Marketing Strategists, Consumer Research Analysts, Management Consultants, Marketing Services Account Supervisors, Directors, Managers, and Executives

Job Description:
* You may think you want this job, but you probably don’t. There are some very high expectations, and we’re very selective about who we trust with our client relations. That being said, this is the kind of environment where you can open the throttle on your capabilities, truly make a difference with your clients, and be recognized and well rewarded.
* This is a consultative client service position. It is not a sales position. Your role is to ensure the client’s happiness by providing sharp, crisp, and prompt service at all times to all client requests. You will be expected to read minds, anticipate needs, and proactively seek out opportunities to make the client’s life easier, their business more profitable, and generally make them look good inside their organization. You'll be responsible for 100% Guaranteed Client Happiness.
* You must be accessible, and you must provide high-quality face time with the client that results in the client being smarter than they were before you got there. You must be a joy to do business with, and we expect to hear clients tell us how much they like having you around without us having to ask them. If the client isn’t trying to recruit you, or adopt you, or marry you off to their kids, you’re probably doing something wrong.

Skill Sets:
* Your role is to proactively provide the client with ideas and insights to help advance their business objectives and marketing goals, which you must understand inside out. You must become a categorical expert in their industry, and have a full understanding of their competitors’ strengths and weaknesses - and how to exploit both.
* Additionally, you’ll be expected to understand all facets of integrated online and offline marketing, and how they work together. You’ll need to be able to identify the right solution or combination of solutions and make recommendations that positively impact the client’s business, even if they’re solutions we don’t provide. Like all Raidious employees, you’ll be required to create content and actively participate in the company’s online community in an insightful and engaging way.
* Finally, you’ll need to be an analytics rock star. Our business is about providing the client verifiable, trackable, and continually increasing return on their investment. You’ll review, analyze and interpret all client analytics on a weekly basis and recommend ways to optimize with both the content team and the client team, including all marketing partner organizations. So, you’ll also need to be able to understand and empathize with agencies, PR firms, web shops and other marketing partners, and what they are trying to accomplish, and help them do it.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of five years experience in a senior-level Account Management, Planning or Strategy function at a management consulting firm, ad agency, public relations, digital services, or related service firm
  • Experience developing and executing integrated marketing plans with emphasis on the digital space.
  • Confidence in your recommendations and the experience and know-how to gently persuade clients to make good, independent decisions for themselves.
  • Fierce loyalty to the client and ability to put their needs first
  • High degree of emotional intelligence and intellectual curiosity
  • High degree of empathy, rigid adherence to personal morals and ethics
  • Understanding of online and offline marketing metrics, and their impact on ROI
  • Online Analytics expertise (Google Analytics and related ok, Omniture preferred)
  • MBA in Marketing or related area is strongly preferred
  • Must have glowing recommendations from past clients
  • Must be an inspiring, insightful and caring leader who’s fun to work with
