Content Marketing Associate

The Creative Agency | Fort Collins, Colorado

Compensation: $21.00–$27.00 per hour + Quarterly Performance Bonuses
Employment Type: Full-Time
Work Location: In Office - Fort Collins, Colorado

The Creative Agency is seeking a Content Marketing Associate who brings creative thinking, strong writing skills, and hands-on digital marketing experience to a diverse portfolio of brands.

This position sits at the intersection of social media, email marketing, content development, and digital campaign execution. You'll work alongside our in-house strategists, designers, photographers, and video producers to create compelling content that builds brands, engages audiences, and supports measurable marketing objectives.

We're looking for someone who understands that successful content is more than a good caption or a beautiful graphic. It requires thoughtful messaging, strong creative execution, consistent publishing, and a clear understanding of the audience.

The ideal candidate is creative, highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of assigned work. Someone who brings ideas to the table, communicates proactively, and genuinely enjoys bringing marketing campaigns to life.

This is an associate-level position, but practical experience is essential. You'll have opportunities to develop your capabilities and grow professionally, but we're looking for someone who can contribute meaningful skills and experience from day one.

What You'll Do

Social Media & Content Development

• Develop and manage monthly content calendars for multiple client brands.
• Write original, engaging social media copy tailored to each brand's voice, audience, and marketing objectives.
• Create and adapt content for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other relevant platforms.
• Schedule, publish, and quality-check social media content across client accounts.
• Develop basic branded graphics and social media assets using Canva.
• Collaborate with internal designers, photographers, and video producers to coordinate creative assets.
• Contribute fresh content ideas, campaign concepts, and platform-specific recommendations.
• Identify relevant trends and opportunities that align with client brands and objectives.
• Review social media analytics, identify performance trends, and recommend improvements.

Email Marketing & Digital Campaigns

• Develop, build, and execute branded email marketing campaigns, newsletters, and promotional communications.
• Write compelling email copy, subject lines, preview text, and calls to action.
• Build and format campaigns in platforms such as Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Constant Contact, or similar tools.
• Coordinate graphics, messaging, audience lists, and campaign schedules.
• Assist with audience segmentation, list management, and email automation workflows.
• Test links, formatting, mobile responsiveness, and campaign functionality before deployment.
• Review campaign performance, including open rates, click-through rates, engagement, and conversions.
• Identify opportunities to improve email content and campaign effectiveness.

Creative Collaboration & Campaign Execution

• Work with internal strategy, design, production, and account teams to execute integrated marketing campaigns.
• Translate approved marketing strategies and creative direction into polished, platform-appropriate content.
• Manage multiple assignments, content calendars, and deadlines simultaneously.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, organized assets, and clear communication across teams.
• Proofread and quality-check all content before publication.
• Monitor assigned project timelines and communicate needs, updates, and potential obstacles proactively.
• Support campaign reporting and ongoing content optimization.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You're the kind of person who can balance creativity with execution.

You know how to develop a strong content idea, write engaging copy, and organize the details required to bring it to market.

You understand that a luxury hospitality brand should not sound like a law firm, and a consumer product campaign requires a different approach than a professional services campaign.

You have a strong eye for design and understand the fundamentals of visual hierarchy, composition, and brand consistency.

You enjoy collaborating with creative professionals but can also work independently, manage your responsibilities, and keep projects moving without constant oversight.

You're comfortable receiving direct feedback, asking thoughtful questions, and contributing ideas that make the work better.

Above all, you take pride in producing accurate, thoughtful, polished work and understand the importance of meeting deadlines and maintaining client trust.

Required Qualifications

• Previous professional experience in social media management, content marketing, or digital marketing.
• Hands-on experience creating and executing email marketing campaigns.
• Excellent writing, editing, grammar, and proofreading skills.

• Proficiency with Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and social media publishing tools.
• Working knowledge of Canva and fundamental graphic design principles.
• Experience with email marketing platforms and campaign deployment.

• Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple client accounts, projects, and deadlines.

• Ability to work collaboratively with creative and account teams.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned responsibilities.
• Ability to work in Fort Collins, Colorado, according to the agency's established schedule.
• Authorization to work in the United States.
