A Taproot Content Manager assists the nonprofit client in gathering, organizing, and creating copy for their website. The Content Manager creates some copy, but primarily assists the client in conducting a content audit, creating a content outline, and developing a content delivery plan. The Content Manager also advises on creative elements such as tone and style, empowering client staff to create effective web copy.
