Content Designer

The role of content designer is a newly-defined one, and one that Tangible embraces fully. Tangible’s Content Designers are much more than copywriters, though they excel at writing compelling and engaging content. Content Designers think about the design behind the content with a focus on how to serve audiences the information they need, when they need it, and in a format they’ll understand. They closely collaborate with strategists and visual designers, and are comfortable working in Figma design files that bring their copy to life. 

Responsibilities include:

• Writing compelling and effective concepts, marketing copy for websites, emails, video scripts and other assets that are informed by project goals and guardrails provided by strategists, producers, and clients
  • Delivering several copy iterations on a theme, or varied options for consideration
  • Punching up copy (headlines, online ad copy) for marketing purposes, to drive engagement in support of client goals: click-throughs, sales, and feature adoption
  • Aligning content with existing brand editorial guidelines, voice and tone guidelines, and messaging/content strategies
  • Optimizing existing live content — working alongside analysts and designers to identify opportunities to improve conversion through improved usability

• Collaborating with the project team (creative and content strategists, account managers, visual designers) on:
  • Development of new messaging/content strategies
  • Defining project delivery methods, deliverables, and timelines 

• Bringing a positive, inquisitive attitude to every assignment and demonstrating talents as a creative thinker and an expert in the craft of content development

• Serving as an editorial resource on project assignments, reviewing copy for grammar, punctuation, client voice and tone; participating in QA efforts before assignments are completed

Skills & Abilities:

• Experience writing marketing copy for websites, emails, ads, videos, or other online marketing efforts
• Ability to write compelling content that adheres to client voice and tone guidelines
• Experience writing for a variety of media and styles

• Self-starter who can work independently with minimal supervision
• Thorough and organized, with outstanding attention to detail 

• Quick learner who can pivot and adapt as client needs change
