Overview

DesignRush, a B2B marketplace connecting brands with agencies, is seeking an experienced Senior News Writer with excellent writing and research skills to create breaking stories in the AdTech world with the goal of increasing website visits.

The candidate must be a proactive and independent thinker who can take ownership of the tasks at hand and ensure timely and high-quality output through collaboration with other team members.

About the platform

Our platform offers four key values to users :

Agency Rankings : Brands can view qualified agencies based on their expertise, location, clients, and various other factors.
Awards : Agencies and brands can enter their finest work and compete for the best web logo, app, print, packaging, and video design awards.
Marketplace : Businesses can post their projects at no cost and receive proposals from verified agencies.
Trending Brands : Agencies and brands can feature their expertise and achievements via news, interviews, and trends articles to get noticed and recognized as an industry leader.

We’re looking for a Senior Writer to cover marketing and AdTech news on Trending Brands with sharp, original stories, a strong editorial sense, and a knack for using SEO, CMS, and AI tools to boost impact and efficiency.

Goals

Publish 3-5 timely, SEO-optimized marketing stories per day that engage senior decision-makers from the U.S.

Generate 10,000+ monthly unique views on Google SERPs within 3 months through strategic topic selection.

Launch a weekly editorial column (e.g., “CMO Moves,” “AdTech Weekly”) to build a returning reader base.

Secure 3-5 monthly editorial partnerships with top U.S. brand or agency executives to co-create interviews, features, or insight-based content.

Publish 1+ exclusive, high-value content format monthly - salary guides, trend reports, agency revenue benchmarks - to attract links, partners, and recurring visits.

We offer GROWTH, job stability, and a work culture that enables our teammates to excel in their careers.

This is for a full-time, remote-work-at-home position.
