Position Overview & Specifications

21Digital is looking for an enthusiastic, creative content writer to join our award-winning digital marketing team, and help take our content to the next level.

Reporting to our Search Manager and working from our Blackburn-based studio, you’ll be creating regular blog posts and articles for our broad portfolio of clients across the Home & Garden, Retail and Automotive sectors, as well as proofreading, writing and editing newsletters and webpages, and working alongside the wider digital team.

This is not a hybrid role – you’ll be based full-time in our Blackburn studio, working with a great team in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. We’re all about investing in our staff in the long term, so there are lots of opportunities to expand your existing skillset, too!

Your main responsibilities will include:

Crafting regular blog posts and articles for our ongoing content marketing strategies
Generating and researching your own content ideas for our quarterly content plans
Proofreading, writing & editing website pages for on-page SEO
Providing support to the wider marketing team
Writing regular newsletters for our ongoing email marketing campaigns
Creating social media posts and topics

Required skills

You need to have:

Proven copywriting skills
A keen eye for detail, with meticulous attention to spelling and grammar
A willingness and readiness to learn, and to potentially expand your existing knowledge and skills
An open mind to new ideas and constructive criticism
Strong time management and organsiational skills, with an ability to self-manage
Strong written and verbal communication skills, as the job sometimes requires conversing directly with clients (don’t worry, they’re all lovely!)
An active interest in all things digital / marketing

Beneficial but not essential:

A degree in journalism or similar area
A copywriting portfolio is always useful (but don’t worry if you don’t have one – as long as we can still get a flavour of how you write!)
Any existing knowledge about any of our key sectors

What can we offer you? Well…
