Copywriter - Recruit Digital

A forward-thinking international agency based in the beautiful town of Knysna is looking for a copywriter to join their team! They have many exciting clients, including world-renowned musicians and artists who have topped Billboard charts and sold out venues across the world.

If you understand that digital copywriting is a science and not an art, that creating content for content’s sake causes discontent, that a warm lead isn’t a sweaty rope around a dog’s neck; if you’re part blogger, part SEO specialist with a dash of strategist and a splash of social media manager, if you’re inbound bound and can convince an Eskimo to open your mailer about the benefits of ice through a cleverly crafted subject line, then please continue reading.

This is a rare opportunity to do what you love in an internationally recognised creative agency, while also living a lifestyle that most people can only dream about in one of the most beautiful regions in South Africa. The ideal candidate is someone with a minimum of three years of copywriting experience for a prominent brand or agency, with the drive to take their career to the next level. Salary is R22k - 25k negotiable on level of experience.

Responsibilities include:

• Copywriting, creative writing and proofreading.
• Brainstorm and strategise with the team.
• Help create and implement content plans, calendars and schedules.
• Monitor, engage and gather insights from all platforms.

Other requirements are:

• A relevant degree/diploma.
• An understanding of SEO writing.
• An understanding of sales funnels and lead magnets.
• Strong organisational and time management skills with the ability to handle various tasks with attention to detail.
• A portfolio to show-off of your writing skills.
