Marketing Content Manager
-
Jul 2021 - Present
I oversee the content and content writers for a boutique marketing firm located in Asbury Park and Atlantic City, NJ, though our staff is located around the United States. I write and edit copy for emails, website builds, and blog posts for a wide variety of companies ranging from Office Products, a Laundry Service, Client Case Studies, a Cancer Foundation, an Open Platform E-commerce host, and more. I deal with clients on a day-to-day basis for both B2B and B2C. I proofread and edit every piece of copy before it is sent to the client for approval or sent to the client's portal. In addition to these tasks, I oversee our internal cloud system to ensure organization and efficiency in communication and project management. Show less
