We partner with leading names like American Eagle, Best Buy, Domino’s, The Home Depot, Polaris, and UnitedHealth Group to build smarter media and measurement programs that drive real, profitable growth.

Our approach to full-funnel strategy, buying, and measurement delivers results that matter - and it’s getting noticed. Our work has been recognized by Digiday, Google, USA Today, Inc. 5000, and Search Engine Land.
About the Role The work we do and the results we deliver for our clients’ is unmatched. Our job on the Market Development team is to make sure the external market knows that. We want Ovative to be impossible to ignore and hard to beat.
As the Analyst of Content Production you’ll be the engine behind that story. You’ll turn our best client work and industry-leading methodologies into thought leadership, case studies, articles, emails, and sales assets for distribution amongst leading CMOs. You’ll work across our entire business and levels to identify thought leadership opportunities and share back content performance and market insights with the team. You’ll maintain a steady content rhythm so our target audiences hear from us on a continuous basis with industry leading ideas. You’ll also build and grow our internal proof library – a searchable library of our best client results, voices, and recognition, so the Market Development team, Client Services team, and Senior Leadership team across Ovative can find and use our best evidence.
You’ll sit on the Market Development team, which is responsible for Business Development and external Marketing. You’ll work closely with brand strategy, content, events, digital, and deal teams, and with experts across our media, measurement, commerce, and creative practices. This is a strong first role for a recent graduate. You’ll get real ownership early, a front-row seat to how a growing firm wins new business, an opportunity to interact with leaders across the business, and a team that wants your ideas.
What You’ll Own
- Content creation. Partner with internal subject-matter experts to draft and adapt thought leadership, case studies, articles, executive posts, emails, and sales assets. Turn one strong idea into multiple content formats for many audiences.
- The proof library. Keep our client impact stories current, organized, and easy to find. Manage AI tools and attend team forums across the business to capture our best results, best practices, and spot new content opportunities.
- Production and approvals. Run schedules, drafts, and review cycles. Give experts a clear ask, a starting point, a clear deadline, and a process to follow. Close the loop with them when the work is published.
- Content cadence. Protect a steady, reliable publishing rhythm. Maintain quality while chasing quantity.
- Story consistency. Check every asset against our brand positioning and promise. Help maintain one clear Ovative story so we are showing up consistently with our target audiences.
- Celebrating our people. Spotlight the people behind the work. Help the team get the word out when we win awards and earn recognition. Make them feel proud of their contributions and impact.
- Content that works. Track which assets get used and which ones start conversations. Share what you learn so we continuously improve and refine our approach.
- Smarter ways of working. Use AI tools for research, first drafts, internal and external market scanning. Check every output for accuracy, confidentiality, and brand standards. Help us build templates and workflows that save the team time.
What You Bring
- A bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, journalism, English, business, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Recent graduates are welcome. Internships or 0–2 years of experience are a plus.
- Excellent writing and editing skills. You can adjust tone and format for different audiences and channels.
- Strong organization. You can manage many deadlines and keep others on track without dropping details. You follow through on commitments.

- A bold, proactive streak. You suggest ideas, try new things, and push past “this is how we’ve always done it.”
