Job description

Designity is a Creative-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform redefining how brands scale their creative and marketing efforts and teams. We connect brands with top creative and marketing experts, guided by experienced Creative Directors and powered by a collaborative platform that delivers fast, high-impact results.

Trusted by brands like Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott, Designity offers a more cost-efficient and flexible alternative to expensive agencies and in-house teams - while giving top creatives and marketers the environment to do their best work.

As a freelance Content Writer at Designity, you’ll contribute to a variety of client projects on an hourly basis, creating high-quality content that informs, educates, and builds lasting connections between brands and their audiences.

You’ll use AI-powered tools to enhance quality, consistency, and efficiency, and collaborate with Creative Directors and cross-functional teams while enjoying the flexibility to work on projects that match your expertise and availability.

Your role
  • Write clear, engaging, and well-structured long-form content across blogs, articles, and website pages
  • Create compelling copy for paid social ads, organic social captions, email campaigns, and broader marketing initiatives.
  • Research topics, industry trends, and audience needs to create accurate and valuable content.
  • Apply SEO best practices, including keyword research, search intent, content structure, and on-page optimization, to improve visibility and performance.
  • Adapt writing style and tone to different brands, audiences, and industries while maintaining consistency and clarity.
  • Collaborate closely with Creative Directors and other creatives to align content with broader brand and marketing strategies.
  • Edit and refine content to ensure high standards of grammar, readability, and overall quality.
  • Use AI tools to support research, streamline workflows, and enhance content effectiveness.
What you bring
  • 5+ years of experience in content writing, editorial, or similar roles, supported by a strong portfolio of long-form and short-form digital content.
  • Proven ability to write informative, engaging content tailored to different audiences and industries.
  • Solid understanding of SEO principles and experience optimizing content for organic performance.
  • Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills with strong attention to detail.
  • Strong research skills and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, accessible content.
  • Experience using AI tools to improve content quality and efficiency.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines consistently.
  • Clear and professional verbal and written communication skills in English.
  • A collaborative mindset with openness to feedback and continuous improvement.
What you’ll enjoy
  • Flexible, project-based work with the freedom to choose assignments that fit your schedule and expertise
  • Collaboration with top-tier creatives and marketers and ambitious brands
  • Working remotely with exceptional talent from around the world
  • A fast-moving, supportive team environment.
