While both Copy Editors and Proofreaders work to improve written content, Copy Editors focus on refining style, structure, and clarity during the editing process. Proofreaders primarily ensure the final text is free of grammatical and typographical errors before publication. Understanding these roles helps in selecting the right professional for your publishing needs.

What does a copy editor do?

A copy editor is responsible for reviewing and correcting written material to ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency. They check for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style errors, and may also verify facts and improve the flow of the text. Copy editors work with writers and other editors to polish content before publication, whether it's for books, magazines, websites, or other media. Their goal is to enhance the readability and professionalism of the final product.

What Is a Copy Editor?

As a copy editor, your responsibilities and duties include reviewing written material, called copy, before it is put into print or posted online. You examine the material for grammar and spelling mistakes and structural errors. You also ensure that the tone, tense, and style meet the guidelines set out by the publisher. If you work in journalism for the copy desk of a news organization, you not only proofread but also fact check and make sure there is no slanderous content. You also check headlines to ensure they are attention grabbing and grammatically correct.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Copy Editor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Copy Editor, you need a strong command of grammar, punctuation, and style, often backed by a degree in English, journalism, or a related field. Familiarity with editing software such as Adobe InCopy, Microsoft Word's track changes, and style guides like AP or Chicago Manual of Style is typically required. Attention to detail, time management, and strong communication skills help Copy Editors excel in this role. These competencies are crucial for ensuring error-free, clear, and consistent content that meets publication standards and deadlines.

How do copy editors typically collaborate with writers and other editorial team members during the editing process?

Copy editors work closely with writers to clarify meaning, improve readability, and ensure consistency in style and tone. They often communicate suggested changes and questions through tracked edits or comments, fostering open dialogue to refine the content. Collaboration with other editorial team members, such as fact-checkers or managing editors, is also common to ensure accuracy and adherence to publication standards. Regular meetings and digital collaboration tools help maintain workflow efficiency and resolve any editorial concerns promptly.

Job description

Sr. Director of Sales & Marketing
Tried and True Media (TNT) - Performance Marketing Agency Remote-friendly | Reports to CEO
About TNT
Tried and True Media is a performance marketing agency built around one promise: clients grow profitably or we don't keep them. We specialize in DTC brands - particularly in supplements and health/wellness - and we operate on a percent-of-ad-spend model, which means our incentives are wired directly to client outcomes. Our media buyers, copywriters, and creative strategists run high-stakes Meta and YouTube budgets every day.
We're hiring a Sr. Director of Sales & Marketing to own the engine that brings the right brands to our door - and converts them.
The Mission
Own TNT's full revenue acquisition motion: marketing strategy, sales pipeline, partnerships, and the systems that connect them. The goal is simple - a steady, qualified flow of supplement and health/wellness brands that fit TNT's profile, closed at margins that compound the agency's growth.
This role exists because performance marketing is what TNT sells. Our own marketing has to be best-in-class, or the pitch lands flat. The person in this seat is the agency's most important advertisement.
What You'll Own
Marketing Department Leadership
  • Run the marketing function end-to-end: strategy, some execution, and team management
  • Manage and develop the marketing associate (whom executes a majority of the deliverables), with capacity to grow the team as pipeline scales
  • Own the agency brand voice across email, podcast, paid, and organic
  • Maintain the welcome email sequence, nurture flows, landing pages, and oversee the cross-channel content calendar
Inbound & Outbound Lead Generation
  • Build, test, and scale inbound lead gen channels
  • Run outbound prospecting motions targeting qualified DTC supplement and health/wellness brands
  • Maintain a tested, documented prospect-research and outreach process
  • Hold the agency to a measurable cost-per-qualified-lead benchmark and improve it quarter over quarter
Sales Systems & Operations
  • Own the CRM stack (CRM Done Better / GoHighLevel) and the data flowing through it
  • Maintain pipeline visibility, attribution, and reporting that the leadership team can trust
  • Build and refine sales enablement assets: pitch decks, case studies, creative launch plans, prospect-facing frameworks
  • Partner with the CRO on close strategy for higher-stakes opportunities
Partnerships
  • Develop and manage agency partnerships (referral partners, complementary service providers, communities, event sponsors)
  • Negotiate partnership economics and track ROI per partner relationship
Content & Thought Leadership
  • Steward The Scaling Lab podcast - guest strategy, episode planning, distribution, and CTA integration with the Scaling Secrets newsletter
  • Use the agency's proprietary frameworks as content fuel that doubles as sales material
Cross-Functional Strategy
  • Partner closely with the CRO on go-to-market strategy, and pricing
  • Feed account-level performance signals back into marketing positioning so the message keeps matching what the delivery team is actually winning at
What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)
  • A documented, repeatable inbound system delivering qualified opportunities at a CAC-to-LTV ratio the agency can scale into
  • An outbound motion that consistently lands meetings with brands in the agency's ICP
  • The marketing associate operating with clear ownership, measurable output, and a development path
  • Pipeline data clean enough that forecasting actually works
  • At least one partnership channel producing meaningful, attributable revenue
  • Marketing-sourced revenue contribution clearly tracked and growing as a percentage of new-client revenue
What You Bring
Required
  • 5+ years in performance marketing, with hands-on experience running paid media on Meta and/or YouTube at meaningful spend
  • Demonstrated track record building or scaling a B2B marketing function - ideally in an agency, SaaS, or services environment selling to DTC operators
  • Strong sales operations chops: pipeline management, CRM hygiene, attribution thinking
  • Experience managing direct reports and developing junior marketers
  • Comfort with data and frameworks - able to build a model, read a dashboard, and turn pattern recognition into strategy
  • Sharp writer and editor; the role generates a lot of customer-facing copy
  • Bias toward ROI-driven decisions and high-leverage activity over busywork
Strongly Preferred
  • Direct experience with DTC supplements, health, wellness, or beauty brands (either agency-side or brand-side)
  • Familiarity with GoHighLevel or comparable all-in-one CRM/marketing platforms
  • Podcast production, host, or guest-strategy experience
  • Comfort building lightweight internal tools (spreadsheets that act like software, no-code automations, light scripting)
How You Operate
  • Owner mindset - treats the agency P&L like personal capital
  • Authoritative and confident in front of clients, prospects, and team; friendly enough that people actually want to take the meeting
  • Comfortable being the most-marketed-to person at the agency (because every prospect is judging the marketing they see before the sales call)
  • Direct, structured communicator who closes loops
Why This Role
  • Real ownership of a revenue function, not a slot in someone else's plan
  • Direct partnership with the CRO and visibility into agency strategy at the leadership table
  • Meaningful budget authority for marketing experiments
  • The chance to make TNT's marketing as sharp as the work TNT delivers for clients
