• You are curious and data-driven: you have a deep understanding of digital marketing channels, copywriting best practices, markers of success, and how messaging drives business impact. 
• You have an impeccable eye for detail and ability to approach tasks with a journalistic attitude to find the angles and stories that matter.
• You have a good understanding of what it means to write for digital channels: blending user experience and channel best practices, and how they fit into the bigger picture of content marketing.
• You have the ability to self-start, stick to deadlines, and drive projects forward – while being open and comfortable to iteration and feedback.
