September 4, 2008
If you're new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on social media marketing, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Ignite Social Media.
If all you’ve ever wanted is to work for a social media agency that knows how to work hard and have tons of fun while doing it, check out to the social media jobs below. Ignite Social Media is growing quickly. As North Carolina’s first social media agency, Ignite helps clients sort through the dizzying array of social media tools (blogs, podcasts, wikis, social networks, user-generated content, etc. etc.) and choose the tools and tactics that are right for them. We’re looking for motivated people, ready to join an agency that’s going places. If you think you’re a perfect fit for one of these jobs, tell us why!
Web Copywriter
UPDATE: THIS POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED. THE TWO OTHERS BELOW ARE STILL OPEN. We’re currently seeking an additional copywriter to join our content creation team.
- Are you a remarkably strong writer, ideally with experience writing web copy?
- Can you produce content for a wide array of uses; produce it quickly and with polish?
- Do you have your own blog and understand the value of linking within a post?
- Do you use Twitter and other social tools and understand why people like them?
We may have a place on our team for you, working with national brands on interesting projects. Unlike most companies, we value both personal and professional experience in this space. We’re looking for knowledge of social media tools, ability to write both well and quickly, and passion for these new tools.
Knowledge of various content management systems (i.e., WordPress, Drupal, etc.) and/or knowledge of CSS a plus, but not required.
If this is you, please contact Erin at erin (at) ignitesocialmedia.com and include a link to your LinkedIn profile. Also two writing samples, which can be attached or can be links. Responses without writing samples will not be considered.
Interactive Designer
We’re currently seeking an interactive designer. As a web designer, you’ll have strong visual skills and a relatively wide array of samples, ideally some for which you were free to explore and others when you had to stay consistent with established brand standards.
Strong knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) expected, as is strong ability to bring your designs to the web by cutting the CSS.
Knowledge of basic PHP based coding (i.e., WordPress, Drupal) is a plus, but not required. Knowledge of Flash is a plus, but is also not required.
If this is you, please contact Erin at erin (at) ignitesocialmedia.com and include a link to your LinkedIn profile. Also include two (or more) design samples, which can be attached or can be links (preferred). Responses without samples will not be considered.
Account Manager
We’re looking for another account manager/account coordinator. If you’re really, really organized, and you worry incessantly about deadlines and keeping your promises, we need you. We’ve got more accounts than ever before and, strangely, they all expect to be managed.
Ideal candidate will have 1-3 years experience with project management, ideally in an agency setting (i.e., ad agency, PR firm, SEO agency). Knowledge and experience (personal or professional) with social media tools and platforms a significant plus.
If this is you, please contact Erin at erin (at) ignitesocialmedia.com and include a link to your LinkedIn profile. Also include a customized cover letter indicating why you’re perfect for this job. (Spelling counts, but you’re so organized it won’t matter). Responses without cover letters will not be considered.

Got something to say?
Oooh, if I hadn’t just moved from Chapel Hill to Asheville…..
Good luck on finding the best fit!
Your lure to the world of full-time employment it strong, social media one. But the freelance force is powerful.
I have inner conflict every time you post an open writer position. So tempting…but I’d have to lose the bunny slippers.

@Jason
Should have clarified, on top of working here, you can do side projects
@Brian
Thanks. I love my clients too much to turn them into side projects.
And, I’m afraid they’d hurt me.
Good luck with your search though.
Wow, Tobin. You’ve changed (re-specialized) your company. I’m becoming a Creative Suite jedi. Y’all want some?
I’m still very interested in the Account Manager position, please be sure to keep me in mind when the company decides to begin hiring again.
I’m in the UK…side projects are all the rage here. Email me if interested!
I’m intrigued. I’m a sales Representative in Business to Business Sales in Wilmington, NC. I used to have my own blog on Myspace, and had a huge following. I’m a whiz with computers, and sick of the merchant services industry. I’m a natural in marketing, I know I’m always coming up with new ways to reach my customers. Sounds like social media may be a good career to explore. Any positions in blogging or sales I can do from Wilmington?
