At Elegant Themes we embrace blogging as a unique meta-medium, which means our bloggers are not simply folks responsible for blog copy and some screenshots. Our Blog Authors are in charge of creating a multi-media production that includes blog copy, image assets, video assets, audio assets, etc. All of which come together into a final blog post and accompanying campaign of supporting micro-content (such as social media posts, emails, and paid ads). Our Blog Authors are responsible for creating all of this content in alignment with our overall content strategy, either personally or in collaboration with other team members.
