Help Us Grow the Businesses of Our Clients with Compelling Content
Are you a recovering journalist or published writer who would like to apply your skills in marketing for businesses and nonprofits? If so, our copywriter position could be a great fit.
Innovaxis Marketing is a woman-owned marketing consulting agency and HubSpot partner, founded in 2007. Content creation and brand storytelling are central to how we grow our business-to-business (B2B) and nonprofit clients, and how we’ve grown rapidly over the years. Content is central to the value we provide for clients, not an afterthought like at so many other agencies.
If you’re inspired by the challenge of turning marketing concepts and the story of our clients into compelling content, and you are motivated by opportunities to learn about new industries and products you’ve never heard of, you may be a good fit for our growing team. We work closely and collaboratively with our clients, so you will work directly with them along with our digital marketing team. You will also have the opportunity to work directly within websites and learn about search engine optimization (SEO), HubSpot and other marketing automation platforms, pay-per-click, and much more.
