We are looking for an exceptional writer to join the Distilled marketing team. Distilled is a well-known online marketing agency with a big and ever growing reputation. We have worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, and are known in the industry as experts at what we do.

As a company, we produce huge amounts of written content (see: our blog, DistilledU, our emails, our in-depth guides) but most of us aren’t trained writers. We have great ideas and in-depth knowledge, but we are looking for someone to help us level up.

We want you to join our team to:

• Shape and document our tone of voice
• Help everyone else’s content sparkle
• Write your own content – everything from our homepage to crucial emails

You will report directly to Will Critchlow, founder and CMO and you will have wide-ranging freedom to define the areas where you can add the most value to the company.

We anticipate that you will already be passionate about marketing on the web (specific industry knowledge could be helpful but isn’t required). You will be able to show us examples of your ideas and writing on the web. After reading some of our existing copy, you’ll have some immediate strong opinions about how to help us.

We anticipate a starting salary in the range £23,000-28,000 per annum. You will be working in a relaxed and fun environment with beer o’clock every week, a meeting room dedicated to playing Mario Kart, a half-day on your birthday and a personal happiness budget. You will be based in London, but will also work closely with our teams in Seattle and New York.

About Distilled

Distilled is an online marketing company with a creative eye. We believe in sharing knowledge through our blog, conferences and interactive training. Our mission is to discover, implement and share ways of helping great businesses succeed online. We have our headquarters in London and offices in New York and Seattle. There are just over 60 of us in total spread across our three offices.

At the core of Distilled is the desire to improve. Our online university, DistilledU offers extensive modules to help you master the art of search marketing.

We have a team of SEO enthusiasts, stats geeks, developers, designers and creative marketers who all push our clients to be exceptional.

We are extremely passionate about learning and sharing what we learn with our clients and our community through our blog, weekly guest spots for the great folks at SEOmoz, training resources, free videos and our own series of industry leading conferences.

We aim to create the best place for the best people to work. We aren’t there yet, but we like to set ourselves lofty goals and are constantly looking for ways to make this goal come true.

You’ll be joining an ambitious company where there are always opportunities to grab something and make it your own. Working at Distilled is hard but always exciting and we are constantly offering opportunities to do amazing things. For example: Rob joined as an SEO Consultant in our London office and after setting up our Seattle office is now our COO. Lynsey joined as EA to the directors and is now our Head of Events running our conferences worldwide. Mark started as a junior SEO consultant and is now Head of Creative.
