Vacancy

As an Online Copywriter (French) you are responsible for writing the French texts for Action’s on and offline tools and channels. This includes texts for social media, website and flyers. You take care of both the final editing of the texts and the actual writing. You ensure the texts are suitable for the French audience and apply the Action writing style.

You are part of the content team that will grow and change significantly in the upcoming years as a result of Action currently being in the midst of a digital transition. The location from where you work can either be Actions International Head Office in Zwaagdijk in the Netherlands (40 minutes from Amsterdam by car), or the Belgium Head Office in Asse (near Brussels).

If you enjoy writing texts in a commercial way and don’t mind the team changing significantly during the upcoming period, then this is the job for you.

Working week

Online Copywriter (French)

I have an enjoyable day when the campaign texts you have been working on for a long time are responded to positively and the different stakeholders are satisfied.

A day is less enjoyable when you need to wait for feedback from the business due to busy schedules. As a consequence, you cannot move forward with your work.

Firsthand experience

Your manager sends you a request from the business to write texts for a new campaign. What do you do?

Your manager sends you this request. This is accompanied by a briefing, which includes what is expected. They want texts for on the website, social media and flyers. If something is not yet clear in the briefing, you check this with the business. Then you start with the texts. When these are ready, you send them to the business for feedback. After that you process the feedback and return the text again. You continue with this until both the person who made the request and you are satisfied with the result. The business processes the texts themselves afterwards.
