Writing for FocusWorks
We’re looking for
Our mission
Our mission: to create content that makes a difference for our clients, whether it’s elevating their profile, bringing in new business, or showcasing their industry leadership.
And we’re looking for talent to help us do that. We serve a wide range of clients across industries and sectors, but a few things underscore our work:
- We always stay audience-focused: what are their concerns/pain points/frustrations/pet peeves
- We care deeply about differentiating our clients (without sounding like a sales pitch)
- We know objections are best treated like potholes: something to anticipate and avoid
If this sounds like your kind of thing, we’d love to hear from you.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:

- E-books

- And more
Fair compensation
As an agency, we value your time and talent. Our writers are compensated fairly for their work, and we prioritize ensuring you have clear expectations and the right resources on hand for every project. Even better, we handle the heavy lifting of client reviews and relationship management, meaning you can focus on what you do best.
Flexibility and support
Tired of working with agencies and clients who leave you in the dark about expectations and deliverables? Our team is committed to supporting every step of the way. That means providing clear briefs for every project, consistent feedback, and a collaborative approach.
Who we’re looking for
What do you need to bring to the party? Excellent communication skills, well-honed research abilities, and a passion for adjusting the dials on client voice and tone until you’ve got the perfect match.
Let’s get more specific, though. It’s vital that our writers are:
Detail-oriented
You know that great content is in the details—grammar, flow, and clarity matter to you. Just as importantly, factual accuracy matters to you.
Adaptable
You’re able to shift between writing for different industries and audiences with ease.
Curious
Researching new topics excites you, and you love learning as much as you love writing.
Have industry expertise? While it’s not necessarily necessary, it can be helpful with some of the complex subjects we deal with. If you’ve got a niche, let us know so we can match you with the right clients.
FocusWorks Marketing: our position on AI writing
We know that AI has shaken things up for writers. We’re right there with you—wrangling with the time-saving benefits while pushing back against the de-personalized, over-generification of content.
We recognize that digital marketing agencies vary in their approach, so we’ll lay ours out so we’re all on the same page.
All content we receive must pass an AI check via a well-vetted tool we use. In other words, we will not accept pieces that have any AI content. We’re happy to discuss our process and stance further, but we take our responsibility to our clients seriously and we do not compromise on quality.
(Use AI for ideation, research, or getting unstuck on a sentence? That’s okay. This policy is about what we receive in contractor drafts!)
