We’re hiring a Content Producer to join the earnest and imaginative team at TGW Studio, an LGBTQ+/non-binary/women-owned and -operated social impact marketing firm with a four-day workweek in Rochester, NY. Content Producers at TGW Studio are essential collaborators in all branding, marketing, and strategy projects for our partners and our studio.

This job includes:

• Writing and editing meaningful, impactful, and error-free content for short- and long-form applications across industries and brand personas. Think taglines, social media posts, website copy, podcasts, cases for support, and more.
• Creating and producing organic and paid content across platforms.
• Creating and working with existing  photography, video assets, graphics, and other creative tools for digital applications from social posts to digital ads to websites.
• Developing projects from concept to creation, including by creating, organizing, and implementing content calendars and digital/print ads.
• Bringing compelling language and ideas to bear for campaigns, projects, brands, and partners.
• Collaborating with the entire team (including designers, strategists, brand managers, and TGW leadership) on internal and external projects.
• Working on multiple projects at once, successfully seeing each one from milestone to milestone to completion.
• Diving into discovery, research, and planning steps with internal teams to better understand our partners’ unique needs.
• Participating and presenting effectively in client meetings, training workshops, and other public-facing events, with an emphasis on inclusion, equity, and accessibility.
• Furthering TGW’s own leadership and new business efforts through content creation and production. Think blog posts, email newsletters, podcasts, webinars, and in-person events.
• Supporting individual and team growth through participating in team meetings, retreats, committees that advance studio projects, and providing your input on TGW’s priorities, goals, and initiatives.
• Actively taking part in TGW’s justice, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility work, which takes many forms, and is embedded in all that we do, including and especially through all partner work and among all team members. 

The Content Producer reports to the Strategy Director but works closely with the entire team. This position is a full-time, exempt, salaried position. As with all full-time positions at TGW, the workload is based on a four-day, 32-hour work week, though occasional evening, Friday, or weekend work/travel may be required. Our standard hours are Monday through Thursday, 9-5 ET. All roles at TGW currently include hybrid work flexibility on one specified day per week.
