Do you find yourself awake at 3am rewriting your latest Instagram caption in your head? Do you have strong opinions on whether it's socially acceptable to DNF a book you don't like? Do you keep feature articles open on your phone long after you've read them, just in case you need to revisit them later?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be the marketing writer we're looking for.
The Lavin Agency is looking for someone to use their unique superpowers to take ownership of our newsletter, blog, website, and content writing. The dream is, of course, to win a Pulitzer for best newsletter (a category they will create just for us), but we can discuss that later. For now, we're looking for someone who's smart, writes well, and wants to learn from the most interesting people on the planet: our speakers.
Who are we, you ask? We're a talent agency for keynote speakers. We work with the smartest people in the world: superstars like Margaret Atwood, Sal Khan of Khan Academy fame, and many more. And we want you to join us.
If you're a good writer, love to learn, are keen to help us make the world a smarter place, and can explain to us what the heck a dangling participle is—hit us up, with your resume and cover letter, at alethea@thelavinagency.com. We're listening.
