ABOUT THIS ROLE
Content writers create and develop written content across digital and print channels, including website copy, blog articles, social media posts, email campaigns, case studies and product descriptions.
The role sits at the intersection of marketing strategy and craft, good content writers understand the audience they’re writing for, the commercial purpose behind the content and the SEO or channel context it lives in. It’s not just writing, it’s writing that works.
In Brisbane, content writers work across professional services, technology, retail, healthcare and a wide range of other industries building a content presence to attract, educate and convert customers. Demand is steady, driven by the growing volume of digital channels businesses need to feed, and employers value candidates who combine strong writing skill with genuine strategic awareness of how content fits into a broader marketing plan.
