Would you like to learn new ways to tell brand stories effectively and practice your craft on a daily basis? We have a creative content writer opportunity waiting for you.

If you’re ready to join a small team that makes a big difference, keep reading. USDP is one of Cincinnati’s top digital marketing agencies. We use message-based design to create content that gets results for clients nationwide. Now, we’re seeking a part-time copywriter to join our team. 

Interested? Our dream candidate will have the following skills at the ready: 

• • Writing: Blogs, emails, brand stories; website content, ads, and video scripts. You don’t need to be an expert in all of it, but you should be open to tackling multiple types of media. 
  • Editing: We prize attention to detail, sharp editorial skills, and openness to constructive comments. We’ll ask that you edit your own copy and be ready to provide feedback for other team members. 
  • Strategic thinking: Often, a complex project will require thinking outside the box, coming at copy from different angles, and wearing multiple hats. Our writers consistently bring together content strategy, stellar copy, SEO, and a knack for structuring content visually.  
  • Self-motivation: You will need the ability to prioritize projects, manage your time, do your own research, and juggle multiple clients without lots of hand holding. 
  • Collaboration: At USDP, content writers work closely with designers to bring the appropriate story to life visually. Our ideal candidate will be ready to roll up their sleeves and dive in to make sure that projects go smoothly! 
  • Openness to learning: As a StoryBrand certified agency, we use a specific framework to craft brand narratives—which we translate into successful website content. You don’t need to know StoryBrand, but we’re looking for someone eager and willing to learn and use it.  

• • Practiced communication skills: At USDP, you’ll need to do more than simply write. We will ask you to contribute on client calls, present your ideas, and communicate with clarity in a variety of situations. 

You’ll tackle the following types of work:   

• • Writing different types of content for several different client accounts
