OVERVIEW

This is a freelance role (35-40 hours/wk) with potential to convert to a full-time position after a 6-month engagement. The Associate Branded Content Writer's main responsibility will be writing compelling, engaging, and entertaining advertising content with a strong focus on podcast and audio formats. As our audio advertising channel continues to scale, this person will play a critical role in supporting host-read ad development across our growing podcast portfolio.

  • Partner with multimedia stakeholders as podcast inventory grows

  • Work with clients to produce long-form articles, interactives, or guides when needed

  • Process, negotiate, and implement creative feedback from brand partners

  • Audit, understand, and act on data from our Insights & Analytics team to inform what we say and how we say it, all while keeping partner goals and standards top of mind

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • 1–2+ years of professional creative writing, copywriting, and/or content/marketing experience — a portfolio that showcases your work is a major plus

  • Demonstrated experience writing podcast scripts, host-read ad copy, or other audio advertising formats

  • Expert command of the English language and use of voice — we're looking for a wordsmith in the truest sense

  • Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and project-manage your own work and time

  • Client readiness and strong communication skills

  • Experience working with multiple client categories; financial services, B2B, or consumer writing experience is a plus

  • Familiarity with Monday.com (or other relevant project management systems)

  • Passion for all Morning Brew Inc. brands

COMPENSATION $30–$35/hour  (commensurate with experience)

This is a freelance engagement. After a successful 6-month period, this role is eligible for conversion to a full-time position. The total offer package at the time of conversion would include some benefits and perks highlighted here.

BRIEF BREW HISTORY
Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.
 
In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
