Job Description

You: a driven, ambitious, highly engaged writer. You're passionate about journalism, communication, and social media. You're eager to become a thought leader in the emerging, evolving field of branded online publishing, flexing your editorial muscles, drawing on your creative reserves to dream up infographics, video scripts, and articles—and blogging your heart out.

Your friends may not understand your obsession with publications, blogs, and brands, but they trust your guidance at turning complexity into simplicity (and translating five-dollar words). You know how to draw a crowd on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and YouTube, and you'd RT @williamshakespeare b/c brevity = soul @ wit.

You know how to change your tone and your story depending on your publisher and your audience. You always bring your A-game, whether you're working on a piece for a glossy monthly or an e-mail to your Aunt Leslie. You run with strategic and creative direction, and you'd never hand in a thousand words if your editor asks for 500. At a moment's notice, you can spin any briefing into a brilliant idea—and then make it.
