A day at Symetric
As with many roles in a creative marketing firm, it's hard to accurately describe a typical day as the job is so diverse. Sometimes you will have to drop everything to work on a pitch or attend a last-minute strategy meeting. But as a rule of thumb, a copywriter / content strategist's week goes a little something like this:
- Write copy for websites, blogs, social media, newsletters and materials like print ads, brochures, and other advertising mediums.
- Researching topics to assist in telling the brand stories of our clients.
- Proofreading and editing website copy, blog articles, social media posts before publication.
- Conducting keyword research and utilizing the latest SEO guidelines to help increase traffic to websites.
- Optimizing existing content for SEO.
- Meet with team members to give a status update on each of the projects being worked on.
- Contribute ideas for new business and current clients' web and marketing strategies.
- Help prepare pitch concepts for clients.
- Possibly updating website content through their content management systems.
- Creating and inputting keywords, meta descriptions and writing content for search engine optimization.
- Work with the creative team to finalize projects ready for production.
- Visit client businesses to understand objectives more clearly.
