Tech marketing leaders — hire journalists! ✨ We are a special breed, and our backgrounds make us uniquely skilled at content marketing. Why? We love a deadline We are endlessly curious We can talk to anybody We can learn any industry We tell the best stories We care about accuracy We only use relevant and trusted stats We obsess over the process We have thick skin (most days) We thrive in a fast-paced environment And no detail is ever overlooked I don't think a 'traditional' path to content marketing exists. So look for writers, editors, producers, and investigative minds. That's how you build a quality, authentic content engine. #contentmarketing #journalism

Content Manager is not a position to just give away randomly. If you're hiring for a Content Manager it means you are giving them responsibility for creating as well as managing content. If you still, as a stakeholder, want to re-check the content every time they write something, do not hire a manager. Hire a writer. If your Content Manager cannot call the shots, you're not giving them the perks that come with a manager role. You are only hiring a junior writer.

In case you don't know, hear this: You're not just hiring a copywriter. You're hiring: 1. A research genius 2. A business advisor 3. A brilliant marketing strategist who can transform your business in no time 4 A hypnotic salesman who understands what will make people buy from you as soon as tomorrow. It's a full package. #proget #copywriter #marketing

Last year, I was doing some cold outreach to local marketing agencies. One CEO told me they just use ChatGPT to write everything. When I offered my well-crafted, empathy-in-copywriting-driven retort, he replied, "Well, our clients don't complain, so I'd say we're doing okay." I mean, if you're satisfied with, "Well, gee. I don't know. I mean, our clients aren't complaining," then I'm not going to be a good fit for your agency. I want my clients running stark raving mad through the streets, singing my praises from the mountaintops. I want them to do backflips when I increase their website visitors by 2,800%. Or when I write a white paper that helps them raise $127 million to purchase their next boutique hotel property. Or when an email I write helps a weekend microdosing retreat sell out in 24 hours. None of the three aforementioned clients were simply “not complaining.” They were doing backflips, streaking the quad with Will Ferrell, and singing my praises from the mountaintop. But, hey. Whatever floats your boat. 

I saw a job post. Clicked open. After scrolling down, there was "Salary Cap" mentioned. Guess what? It said: 40-50k *drumrolls* :)) I mean. What kind of disrespectful behavior is that? You're looking for a content/copywriter ONSITE and this is what you have to offer. I mean, first of all, you're not even sure what you are hiring. Content Writer? or a Copywriter? Because they both have different roles. And if you want both, at least check twice what you're offering! How do you keep calm after seeing such posts? #contentwriter #copywriter #jobpost #hiringposts

In fact, so many marketing projects are started with copy and lead by the copywriter. The writer is expected to understand the strategy, target audience, goals, product differentiators, industry regulations, and more. Yes, designers and developers also need to know all of these details—but it inevitably falls to the writer to keep the overall message on track.
