Cedarwood Digital is an award-winning digital marketing agency based in Manchester. We specialise in SEO, Digital PR and Paid Media, delivering measurable results in a straightforward and transparent way. We work with a varied range of clients, from SMEs to large international organisations. We pride ourselves on producing high-quality work, developing long-term client relationships and creating a supportive environment in which our team can learn and progress.

We are looking for an entry-level Digital Marketing Executive to join our team.

• Writing and editing website pages, blog articles, case studies, social media posts and other marketing content.
• Proofreading content to ensure it is accurate, engaging and consistent with the relevant brand's tone of voice.
• Uploading, formatting and updating content on client and Cedarwood websites.
• Helping to keep the Cedarwood website accurate, current and reflective of our latest work, services, awards and company news.
• Supporting the planning and delivery of Cedarwood's social media activity.
• Creating social media content around company news, client results, case studies, events, awards and industry developments.
• Using Canva and other design tools to create branded graphics and social media assets.
• Scheduling and publishing posts across Cedarwood's social media channels.
• Repurposing blogs, case studies and other website content for use across social media.
• Liaising professionally with clients to gather information, provide updates and support the delivery of agreed work.
• Gathering and organising data for client reports and internal marketing reviews.
• Monitoring SEO, website and social media performance.
• Identifying relevant trends, opportunities and ideas that could support client campaigns or Cedarwood's own marketing.
• Supporting the wider team with general digital marketing, research and administrative tasks.
• Participating in internal training and sharing useful industry updates with the team.

We are looking for someone with:

• Excellent written English and strong proofreading skills.
• Minimum Grade B in English & Maths at A Level
