Being part of the Grizzle team is a wonderful thing. I’m a better writer for it.” Clients have worked with us for years because we embed ourselves into their systems and adapt to their brand voice.

Benefits of working with us Over the last 7 years, we’ve created effective content marketing playbooks that help our clients surpass their growth goals. Our content performs well in highly competitive markets, and we’re dedicated to helping our clients meet their acquisition, sales, and revenue targets. However, we’re not a content farm. We take the time to create high-quality content that’s full of unique insights and value-adds. We don’t replicate what’s already out there. Every piece of content must have a purpose. We haven't done our job properly if an audience doesn’t feel empowered by what they read.

More specifically, you will: Research topics and uncover pain points to produce angles and analyze the competitive landscape Create outlines to communicate the logical flow of your narrative and help us collaborate with clients (this significantly reduces feedback during the draft stage and means fewer revisions for you) Write engaging, practical, and informative content that educates, motivates, and inspires readers to take action Share and break down examples and supporting imagery (screenshots, graphs, etc.) Cite relevant and original sources when necessary Follow client guidelines to match their brand voice, tone, structure, and preferences Collaborate with the Grizzle team on each project via ClickUp Content formats you’ll be writing Blog Articles: Long-form content to drive traffic, educate readers, and convert them into leads, users, and customers.

You’ll receive a brief, then work with our editors to create an angle, outline, and write a value-driven draft. One round of revisions is baked into the process. Our content marketing editors (CMEs) and copyeditors are there to support you, polish content to perfection, and address client feedback. Will the content be ghostwritten? 95% of our content is ghostwritten for clients. There’s the odd occasion where we can attribute a byline to our writers. What project management software do you use? We use ClickUp for project comms (and provide training on how to use it) and expect writers to keep open lines of communication with us there.
