Responsibilities * Produce and write approximately 800-word blog articles consistent with the new Price-Pottenger healthy lifestyle brand, written for a target audience of Generation X (30-60-years old, and interested in traditional diet, health and nutrition.) Blogs will be featured on an upcoming website. * Produce content that gives clear take-aways to readers, is factually accurate, concise, well-suited to a digital environment, and incorporates Price-Pottenger’s key word and content strategy. * Identify and use proper references (studies, books, instructors, professionals, etc.) Work these references into blog articles and web content to give authority and credence to the facts and claims you are writing about. * Repurpose older Price-Pottenger content into new, fresh, digital content. * Source photos for blog articles and other digital content. * Create content suitable for sharing on social media, or featuring in a video course. * May be asked to write rebuttals to breaking health and nutrition news stories. * Report to Executive Director, Managing Editor, Editor-in-Chief or Director of Marketing as needed.
