Who we are
Media Message is an advertising, marketing, and public relations agency. We help small to medium businesses refine their marketing message and find cost effective ways to deliver it to their stakeholders so they can grow their business. We become an extension of their marketing department. They rely on us to create a clear message and find cost effective ways to deliver it to their audience in print, broadcast, digital, and social media.
The Job
We are looking for a marketing and communications graduate to join our team as a full time employee. Media Message grew from a small freelance journalism business in 2005. We still rely on long-term freelance writers, graphic designer, photographers and videographers today. We are looking for someone who has a passion for marketing and communications and the ability to write or edit content, produce short videos, create e-Newsletters, navigate social media, and set up remarketing campaigns, among other things.
Most of our clients do business in the agriculture industry. It is therefore important that you have a sincere interest in agriculture and the agri-food industry because we spend most of our time working on Ag projects. You don’t have to be from a farm or have driven a tractor but you do have to appreciate how interesting and unique agriculture is.
We are very connected in the agriculture industry and will help you become fluent in the industry issues and jargon. Occasional travel within Canada may be required for conferences, tradeshows, and client events.

Research, interview, create, edit, and distribute newsletters, press releases, brochures, blogs, tweets, videos, or other marketing materials.

Execute media relations and advertising campaigns and assist with strategic communications research.
Qualifications
Possess a Communications and/or Marketing degree or diploma, and some graphic design and email marketing experience.
Strong writing skills with solid understanding of grammar and great attention to detail.
A sincere interest in agriculture and farming is necessary. Knowledge of agricultural issues from an industry or farming perspective would be beneficial.
Team player who takes direction well and gets the job done on deadline with minimal supervision.
Functional knowledge of graphic design software, video creation tools and email marketing software.
Ability to work in both English and French would be an asset.
