Content maker
at LDA Design
LDA Design is hiring a content maker to join its team in London.
LDA Design is looking for a content maker with around three years’ experience to help us build our brand and manage our growing digital offer.
As an employee-owned business, we share responsibility for the commercial success of the business. This role is key to developing messaging aligned to our commercial strategies. It involves presenting LDA Design’s thinking, work and culture to the world. To do this, you will be media-focussed, enthusiastic and eager to learn. You will be serious about how placemaking can change lives for the better, and interested in solutions to climate breakdown, nature loss and social inequity.
You will help us to campaign for change – from giving planning new purpose to ensuring major new infrastructure delivers the widest positive outcomes, to regeneration that keeps community front of mind.
You will be a self-starter and a natural communicator, keen to find the story and use social media to help tell it. LDA is looking to take our website to the next level and you will play a big part in making this happen, driving new content production and shaping site infrastructure. You will help us to evolve our brand, to ask and answer the difficult questions, and reflect the full breadth of the work we do in fresh, engaging and highly visual ways.
You will be a creative all-rounder: an excellent copywriter with journalistic and design skills. You will be skilled and experienced in creating short videos or animations in your current role or for your own feeds. You will know how to reach new audiences and build a community with shared values, from shaping social campaigns to editing podcast episodes and short films.
This role involves:
- storytelling: you will know what makes for a compelling read
- digital strategy: you will help to plan and shape our digital platforms, including the website
- digital vitality: you will find, create and post timely social media content, supporting the evolution of our brand
- technical expertise: you will bring and keep on top of best practice, trends and emerging technologies
- studio liaison: you will help our studios to develop content
- new platforms: you will help us to further broaden our reach and impact
Your abilities:
- a talented writer with excellent copywriting and editing skills and a strong spirit of journalistic enquiry, experienced in producing regular and accurate content
- strong technical experience and software knowledge across all social media platforms, and video editing software
- graphic design skills for illustrations, infographics and visuals – confidence in using InDesign, Photoshop, Premier and website content management systems
- good knowledge of SEO and content optimisation
- excellent project management skills, well organised and across the detail
- experience of developing strategies for building momentum behind key messaging, and understanding of brand and editorial tone
- socially and environmentally alert, sharing LDA Design’s values and a strong appetite to shape the world for the better
- insight into built environment issues
- a strong team player who enjoys creative collaboration, is friendly and sociable and a good mentor able to encourage wider engagement within LDA
