The Right Person for this Job

Has a collaborative mindset: this position is all about connecting the dots for others to get the job out the door
Is efficient, organized, and process oriented: if a process doesn’t exist for something, you’re thinking about how to develop one
Takes proactive steps to keep projects moving forward: you know how to prompt others for what you need when you don’t have it
A problem solver: not every task has an obvious solution and you don’t mind thinking out of the box
Asks for Help: Everyone here supports each other in their roles, sharing our expertise so that each of us gets the benefit of our cross-disciplinary team

Workflow Includes

The first step in a project is often identifying what is missing or what is needed. This can involve a discovery process that begins with auditing client’s existing websites and marketing materials and compiling detailed/organized notes, sitemap sketches, etc…
Gathering materials is often the next step, identifying what already exists (and getting access to it) or figuring out what needs to be created from scratch. This goes for copy as well as design assets.
Once a website has been developed, it will be your job to flesh out the skeleton with content that is migrating from the existing site or developed by the creative team.
Building out content, whether on a website, newsletter, or landing page can require basic page layout skills so that the content we make remains inline with the standards set throughout the rest of the website or marketing campaign.
Once a site is fully fleshed out, making edits and doing cross-browser compatibility review is often part of the job.
Other marketing duties cover things like helping to pull screenshots of analytics and assemble them into monthly reports.
In general, we just need someone who can be available to fill in and assist on anything that the marketing team needs to keep the engine running smoothly. That could be making a social post, editing an image, getting the right file format for a logo, or proof-reading a blog or proposal before it goes out to a client.
