The PITCH.

We are creators, digital industry rogues, and data-driven storytellers. We are not just on the internet; we are optimizing it. We’re obsessed with uncovering the right keywords, crafting engaging content, and enhancing brand visibility. We move fast and deliver great work at scale, and we’re looking for individuals who are just as passionate about the power of search engines to make an impact.

You must LOVE all things SEO, be familiar with Google’s tools (and maybe a few hacks), and be passionate about the role digital platforms play in building brands and connecting to audiences. This isn’t a role for those who like to take 6 months to optimize one page. This is an always-on role where you’ll need to move quickly and think critically every day.

Here’s where you come in…

• You need to be an SEO enthusiast who knows the fundamentals of search engine optimization, including:
• Keyword research and analysis: You can identify relevant keywords and trends for content optimization.
• On-page optimization: Crafting engaging meta descriptions, headers, and content that drives organic traffic.
• Technical SEO: Understanding site performance metrics like loading speed, mobile-friendliness, and more.
• You also…
• Are familiar with tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and keyword research platforms..
• Have a basic understanding of link-building strategies and how to boost a site’s domain authority.
• Love data! You know how to track and interpret search trends and user behavior.
• Are ready to collaborate with creative and content teams to create SEO-driven assets.
• Have a knack for managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while staying cool and proactive.

We treasure Personality and Creativity yet we do know that these qualifications lead to what WE KNOW as a success:

• Demonstrable interest in search engine optimization and digital marketing.
• Sound knowledge  in standard tools such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and SEO tools
• A keen eye for trends and an ability to spot opportunities in search behavior.
• A growth mindset—excited to learn, experiment, and iterate on strategies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What you SHOULD KNOW about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

We believe 100% that brands can be built on digital platforms and part of our model is built bottom up, flipping the traditional advertising model and process on its head. We don’t play to agency/industry norms and our culture and energy reflects that.

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
