Morning Brew seeks a marketing reporter

Morning Brew is hiring an experienced writer with expertise in covering and analyzing a range of topics related to the Marketing industry.

This job will require you to report on, write vividly about, and ultimately spark conversations centered around the Marketing industry, specifically around our core topics of: social & influencers, TV & streaming, brand strategy, agencies, ad tech & programmatic, or data & tech.

The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of the Marketing industry and an extensive network of industry contacts. You should also have a body of work demonstrating a gimlet eye, a hunger to stay on top of the conversation, and a talent for cleverly explaining inside baseball for an audience that’s largely outside the ballpark.

In this role, you will use your curiosity to investigate intriguing characters and narratives. You will tap your creativity to tell those stories with precise details and memorable prose. You will generate lots of ideas and experiment with different approaches to storytelling, from conventional reported stories and explainers to analytical takeaways, briefs, and visual items. Morning Brew is based in New York City but this role is remote-friendly for all candidates.

QUALIFICATIONS

– Interest and expertise in business writing and reporting (added plus for those who have directly covered the Marketing industry);

– Have a deep and broad source network
