Content Writer Birmingham, England
Job description
We are looking for a skilled writer to join our consumer PR team – someone who lives and breathes storytelling, understands earned media, and is skilled in creating compelling content that makes people stop, think and act.
Why would you want to work here?
McCann Birmingham is part of McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.
We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.
And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we’ve got including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central’s haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards. So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.
Requirements
Words. They matter now more than ever. They are how we have told, and will continue to tell, stories, regardless of channel or platform..
We’d love to hear from journalists, writers and anyone who has a way with the written word. You’ll be comfortable with and experienced in working alongside senior colleagues and clients, will be quick to wrap your head around client brands and products, and will be able to demonstrate your ability to generate stories that drive headlines and engagement.
Long-form, short-form, traditional media, social media, film storyboards, presentations…you'll be able to flex your writing skills to varying briefs, while working with a great bunch of clever, hard-working people in a fast-paced agency that is part of the world’s most effective, creative network.
If you know words matter, use some of your own to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to buy more holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
If you want to join an iconic network agency that offers you the chance to work on one of the top clients in our portfolio & the opportunity to progress your career with an unrivalled development programme, contact us now. And not through a recruiter, please.
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
