Content Writer

This is an editorial role centred on the exhibitions and events sector, spread across news, Exhibition Showcase Magazine, press material and online content.

• News and magazine: research and write news on events and the travel sector, such as previews, reports after an event and industry updates. For the magazine, you would write features, company profiles, interviews with industry leaders and opinion articles, drafting the interview questions and shaping transcripts into finished pieces. Figures, dates, venues and organiser names are checked before anything goes out, and issues run to monthly deadlines.
• Press releases and digital: rework official press releases into news stories, proofread them, and write website content with headlines, meta descriptions, subheadings and keywords aimed at search. Posts for LinkedIn, Instagram and newsletters are prepared with the teams that own those channels, and editorial pieces are cut down to shorter formats where needed.
• Events and teamwork: cover conferences, summits, awards and exhibitions when required, collecting inputs from organisers, exhibitors and speakers, and keeping research notes and source records tidy. You would work alongside colleagues in PR, design, video, digital and editorial, juggle several assignments, apply feedback, and make sure everything is original and fact-checked.

The post wants a bachelor's degree in English, literature, journalism, mass communication or a closely related subject. Prior work in writing, reporting, digital media or editing is welcome within a range of 0 to 4 years, and freshers whose writing and research are excellent can be considered too.

• Polished written English and sharp proofreading
• Skill at researching a sector and explaining tricky material plainly to readers
• A grasp of how news is written: headlines, article structure and editorial standards
• A basic understanding of search optimisation and online publishing
• Care over detail, and good handling of time and deadlines

Knowing the events industry, including exhibitions, trade shows and MICE, is a plus. The post also prefers someone with a journalist's instincts and real interest in business and events news, who can research and double-check information on their own, handle interviews and live coverage, and take feedback well. A background in print, news sites or B2B media is favoured.

• It helps to have a few writing samples that look like news: an event report, a short profile or an interview-based piece. Clips matter more than a long list of skills.
• Try turning a real press release into a neutral news story, and note how you checked each fact and date.
• Practise writing a headline, a meta description and a few keywords for the same article, since the role touches search-friendly writing.
• Read a few trade or B2B event publications so you can talk about the exhibition industry with some confidence.
• Proofread your own application and samples closely. For this role, a typo in your CV says a lot.
