Digital Content Creator
24 Seven Talent · Houston, TX · 1 mo ago
MarketingContract
Overview
This is a hands‑on creative role that blends strong writing and editorial skills with visual design and video capabilities to produce compelling content for newsletters, email communications, and the company website. Working within an integrated creative pod, the Content Creator/Art Director will take communications briefs, ideas, and source material and turn them into polished, finished pieces—often owning both the copy and the visual execution. The position is an early‑career opportunity (1–3 years of experience) and may lead to an extended engagement.
Responsibilities
- Create content for newsletters, email communications, website updates, and broader editorial storytelling, as well as supporting social and digital formats.
- Translate communications briefs, source material, and business objectives into clear, engaging, and visually compelling content.
- Write, edit, and refine copy across long‑form, short‑form, and email/newsletter formats, adapting voice and approach for different channels and audiences.
- Concept and design visual assets for web, email, and editorial communications, working within established brand systems.
- Integrate copy, design, and visual storytelling to produce cohesive finished work rather than treating writing and design as separate steps.
- Support lightweight video content—from concept and scripting to basic capture and editing—for editorial and communications needs.
- Partner with Content Editors, Communications Advisors, and Integrated Producers to determine the most effective creative approach for each assignment.
- Manage multiple assignments and quick‑turn requests while ensuring final work meets editorial, brand, accessibility, technical, and review standards.
Qualifications
- 1–3 years of experience in content creation, writing, editing, design, or a related creative discipline at an advertising agency or corporate in‑house creative studio.
- A portfolio of editorial, email, or web content—and ideally video—that you conceived and created independently, not solely work produced against someone else’s brief.
- Strong writing and editing skills with a solid command of grammar, tone, voice, and editorial standards.
- Solid visual design skills, including typography and layout, with the ability to work within established brand systems.
- Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, and/or comparable design and content‑creation platforms.
- Ability to take an assignment from brief or source material through polished creative execution with limited handoffs.
- Experience creating content on Sitecore, Staffbase, and/or Marketo is a plus.
- Photography, motion, and/or lightweight video capture and editing skills are a plus.
- Collaborative, adaptable, and comfortable owning work independently while partnering with specialized creatives when deeper expertise is needed.
Schedule
12‑month contract, full‑time (40 hours per week). Remote‑flexible; Houston‑based candidates preferred. Must be able to work CST hours if located in another timezone.
