Our Story
ContentWriters started in 2013 in a tiny WeWork office, motivated by a simple problem: Why is it so hard to find and hire good writers with the right expertise?
Years later, we’re still providing solutions to publishers, eCommerce companies, agencies, and any brand that needs specialized writers. Our team, New York City home office, and monthly snack bills continue to grow and expand.
What hasn’t changed is our approach to content marketing. We pair businesses with writers who have an intimate understanding of their industry. That means doing all the heavy lifting: Vetting writers and editors, onboarding them, and managing them through constant, personalized communication.
And that’s what we’ll always do, because we know the power of content marketing lies within the relationships we’ve built with our writers and what they can do for you.
We’re here to prove that you can scale a people-first approach to content success.
