Marketing Strategist

Dogwood Media Solutions, LLC is seeking a Marketing Strategist to serve as the primary client contact and own account outcomes end-to-end. The role develops and guides marketing strategies, coordinates designers and specialists, manages social media, content marketing, and PR, and presents SEO and paid campaign reporting to clients.

What you'll do:

• You're the account lead. You run the client meetings, present the work, and explain the reasoning behind the strategy with enough confidence to defend it when someone pushes back. You stay ahead of your clients rather than waiting to be chased, and when the data gets complicated, you're the one who makes it make sense
• You're the strategist who keeps evolving. Marketing looks different every quarter, and that's the fun part. We treat AI as a genuine partner in the work. It makes our strategists faster and sharper, and you'll use it that way. Beyond that, we want someone who's always poking at how we could do this better
• You're the project manager and the scorekeeper. You won't build the website or place the ads yourself, but you own whether the results land. You'll coordinate with our designers, ad specialist, and web development team to keep deliverables on time and in scope, and you'll pull the monthly SEO and paid campaign reports and walk clients through what the numbers actually mean for their business
• You're the client's advocate and their storyteller. Inside our office, you represent them. Outside it, you're their voice handling PR directly, shaping the stories worth telling, and making sure their brand shows up the way it should
• You'll run social media, content marketing, and PR for your accounts hands-on. You'll partner with our web development team on technical SEO and our ad specialist on search and retargeting, then review and present their reporting to your clients. And you'll brief and guide our graphic designers so every visual matches the strategy you've set

What they're looking for:

• You should be a strong writer above all
• You should also be able to lead a meeting or send a difficult email without agonizing over it for an hour
• You should be a real listener, able to hear what a client is actually worried about underneath what they said, and then champion that internally
• You should be self-motivated enough to chase down an answer when the situation changes, and organized enough to direct other people's work respectfully while keeping a dozen deadlines straight
• And you should be curious about new tools rather than nervous about them
• Experience with social media, content marketing, PR, search engine optimization, or WordPress is a nice bonus. It isn't a requirement

Benefits:

• Formal performance and compensation review at 90 days for merit-based increases
• Company-paid health, dental, and vision insurance
• 3% retirement match
• $75,000 company-paid group life policy
• Insurance opt-out stipend if you're already covered
• Support for professional development and continuing education
• Stocked kitchen
• Standing daily team walk
• Pool get-together in the summer
• Friendsgiving in November
