The Post and Courier, South Carolina's premier news source, is seeking a Community Engagement & Marketing Strategist with a journalism background to develop, execute and monitor the success of marketing efforts aimed at growing The Post and Courier subscriber base in two of our key markets — Columbia and Myrtle Beach.
This position is part of a special project funded by the Knight Foundation aimed at growing our reach and building a stronger subscriber base in two key Post and Courier markets — Columbia, the state capital, and Myrtle Beach, a coastal city known nationally for its beaches and tourism industry. The Community Engagement & Marketing Strategist will be key to the success of this special project, working closely with the Managing Editor leading the Knight Foundation project and overseeing these newsrooms.
The Post and Courier began expanding throughout South Carolina in 2020, seeking to fill a void in news deserts or areas where local news coverage had withered. Columbia and Myrtle Beach represent key markets for our continued success. Part of that success depends on growing our brand in these markets, making readers aware of our local efforts, local journalists and local newsrooms. The Community Engagement & Marketing Strategist will help take The Post and Courier's well-respected brand from being seen as a Charleston newspaper to a vital, local news source in each of these markets.
Successful candidates will be passionate about journalism and local news. They will possess a spirit of collaboration, able to get buy-in from journalists to participate in various campaigns and events. And they will be willing to serve as public ambassadors of our brands, alongside our local journalists, sales force and other Post and Courier staff.
This in-person position will be based in Columbia.
The Post and Courier, a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, values in-depth storytelling, innovative reporting approaches and a commitment to accountability. Based in Charleston, we have expanded throughout the state with reporters and newsrooms in Columbia, Florence, Greenville, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Rock Hill and Spartanburg. While most in the news industry face significant headwinds, The Post and Courier is growing.
