Full Time Role (Part-time hours will be considered*)
Due North Creatives is a marketing agency based in the North East of Scotland – but we’re not your traditional agency. Our people are a fully remote team of creative individuals who work together collaboratively to bring straightforward marketing to our clients across the country.
We’re looking for an aspiring marketer with exceptional writing skills who can work with our creative team to craft engaging content for websites, press releases, case studies, blogs, brochures, videos and lots more.
As well as outsourced client work, you will also support the growth of our coaching and consultancy arm of the business helping our clients feel confident and empowered to activate their own marketing.
This person will work remotely from home, though regular in-person meetings and client work sessions will break up the days and weeks so you’ll need to be based in the North East of Scotland – ideally between Dundee and Aberdeen.
Working across a number of industry sectors including but not limited to renewables, home developments, technology and retail. You will be a confident individual, who loves to help businesses find their voice online through a variety of marketing mediums.
You understand that it is not about sleazy sales tactics when creating content, it’s all about nurturing a potential customer and helping them to get to know, like and trust a business. After all, people buy from people.
With experience in PR & Marketing Communications you will be supported by the creative team to create websites and a mix of both digital and ‘traditional’ content.
