Job Description
21Digital is looking for an enthusiastic, creative content writer to join our award-winning digital marketing team, and help take our content to the next level.
Reporting to our Search Manager and working from our Blackburn-based studio, you’ll be creating regular blog posts and articles for our broad portfolio of clients across the Home & Garden, Retail and Automotive sectors, as well as proofreading, writing and editing newsletters and webpages, and working alongside the wider digital team.
This is not a hybrid role – you’ll be based full-time in our Blackburn studio, working with a great team in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. We’re all about investing in our staff in the long term, so there are lots of opportunities to expand your existing skillset, too!
Your main responsibilities will include:

- A keen eye for detail, with meticulous attention to spelling and grammar
- A willingness and readiness to learn, and to potentially expand your existing knowledge and skills
- An open mind to new ideas and constructive criticism
- Strong time management and organsiational skills, with an ability to self-manage
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, as the job sometimes requires conversing directly with clients (don’t worry, they’re all lovely!)
- An active interest in all things digital / marketing
Beneficial but not essential:
- A degree in journalism or similar area
- A copywriting portfolio is always useful (but don’t worry if you don’t have one – as long as we can still get a flavour of how you write!)
- Any existing knowledge about any of our key sectors
