Project Overview
Are you geeky about content creation and copy? We’re looking for a seasoned writer/editor for a number of content projects. We need to have hundreds of stellar content pieces written, edited and published. These are different types of content projects.
– Partner content: Written pieces for online with corresponding social media copy. You’ll help businesses in hospitality (stays, restaurants, experiences, events) by producing SEO-savvy content and social media content that resonates.
– Editorial content: Written pieces for online, with corresponding social media copy. Take on and refresh a batch of in-house editorial content, for example.
– Brand campaigns: Execute projects on digital brand campaigns. From taglines, and banner copy, to online and social media content
We’d love a multi-media professional, who can be a kick ass writer, editor and producer of our reels (shoot and edit).
You are 1 or both of the following kinds of writer/editor:
Prefer desk-bound work where you can fact-check and interview over the phone and deliver multiple killer content pieces per week. You’re an ace copywriter and experienced editor who can take a brief and bring out a fresh, compelling angle.
You love to be out and about, interviewing people face-to-face and seeing places live. You are also available to jump on experiences (stays at hotels, meals at restaurants, and experiences, including nightlife) any day of the week.
Massive win for us is someone who can do both.
Whatever type (1 or 2 or both), you must be:
– Online first – have extensive experience working on online and social media/digital projects.
– Curious – interested in unpacking a place. You’re a storyteller and marketer (not a reviewer).
– Can deliver – to brief, on time and turn around revisions quickly.
– Great copywriter & editor – can see an angle & craft a story and campaign payoff lines.
– Enthusiastic about impact – of your work on partners and readers.
– Great project manager – who can hold multiple projects and deliver to deadlines.
What you'll be doing
Content creation and storytelling: Writing SEO-optimized features for our hospitality partners, including short online pieces, with compelling title tags and social media content that helps the story resonate
Update a whole section of CapeTownMagazine.com. Project managing and overseeing it — from concept to delivery— planning, interviews, content production, and partner communication
Go on “Experiences”: Attending and writing about unique experiences (restaurants, stays, nightlife), with quick turnarounds and minimal editing.
Partner meetings and interviews: Working closely with passionate small business owners to capture their brand stories and create content that resonates.
Creative execution: Crafting compelling taglines, campaign content, and social media posts for brand campaigns
(Huge bonus) Video/reel production and/or editing: Creating or managing video content for reels and social media.
