Freelance Content Marketing Editor

Hello, Content Marketing Editor!

My Subscription Addiction (MSA) is looking for a part-time content marketing editor to join our freelance team in New York, NY and/or remotely. 

What is My Subscription Addiction?

At My Subscription Addiction (MSA), we are building a marketplace that connects brands to creators, bloggers, and niche publishers who are already in the business of writing authentic review content. Today, finding third party content is a highly manual process. Yet the demand to license third party content is growing exponentially since the systemic changes in social advertising with the iOS 14 update. MSA’s marketplace is the scalable solution to help brands license third party content so it is as easy as hailing an Uber ride. We deliver content to brands that are ready for the next social ad campaign. And we’re just getting started.

Working with brands like Harry’s, Kosas, Nutrisystem, Blissy, HexClad, Hanni, and Saie, we are always on the lookout for candidates who possess an entrepreneurial spirit and excitement for delivering content that nails each brand’s unique voice. 

About the Role

As a content marketing editor, you possess a sixth sense for details and are eager to roll up your sleeves in the pursuit of crafting compelling content. More than just an eagle eye for grammatical errors, sentence construction, and typos, you come packed with ideas that drive optimization. You can identify the potential in a piece of content, and elevate its tone to support the objective. 

As an individual, you love products and are passionate about consumer brands, particularly in the realm of beauty, fashion, food, and personal care. You have a keen sense of what consumers are looking for, and know how to deliver the point with a punch. You bring excitement, genuine curiosity, and a product-testing mentality. You think big and distill dense information into singular, important ideas that are easily digestible for readers.

Your work will include all aspects of writing and editing for whitelisted content that will appear in ad campaigns before millions of readers. You will write about, edit, and support content related to the brands you love, and you will also think critically and tactfully about products that are new to you. You will carefully edit creators’ pieces in a manner that is on tone with brand guidelines, while maintaining an authentic and trustworthy voice. A born communicator, your collaboration skills are as sharp as your attention to detail. You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, and you’re passionate about learning, testing, and innovating.
