To bring words, data, and teams together.
Role
Who you are
- You have 3+ years of experience and an interest in helping us enhance our brand voice
- Writing. You're a keen prose stylist who can flex your voice in multiple registers depending on the medium and occasion. Like us, you're passionate about rising above robotic industry ipsum, and writing refreshing, distinctive copy
- Storytelling. You understand the power of compelling narratives that capture attention. And you can spin tales that make marketing seem less like marketing
- Brand stewardship. As the Coda brand extends its reach, there's more words to manage than ever. You can protect and influence our brand voice across the product and company
- Taglines. We love memorable soundbytes that encapsulate big ideas. You do too, and can tell us about the lines that inspire you as a creative
What the job involves
- You will report directly to the Head of Brand
- Create thoughtful copy across launches, campaigns, internal marketing, the works
- Work with Product and Design team to shine personality into our in-product experience
- Turn company-wide goals and strategies into conceptual brand campaigns
- Help Codans bring their perspectives to the page in the clearest, most compelling way possible
Our take
Productivity platforms have traditionally been dominated by two central players: Google Workplace and Microsoft 365. Such product suites usually provide separate applications for editing documents and spreadsheets. Coda argues that this division is artificial and ultimately, hampering internet progress.
Instead, Coda makes documents feel more like apps. The startup offers customizable and collaborative documents. As the world shifts towards a hybrid work culture, teams and companies need new productivity tools to adapt their work processes, and Coda is fulfilling that need.
After reaching ‘unicorn’ status in 2022, Coda is starting to truly take on the big boys of Microsoft and Google while developing totally new revenue streams. Users can now create “Packs” that tie into third-party services—for instance, with a page that updates Shopify listings remotely or automates sending Slack messages—and can sell those Packs to other users with Coda taking a fee.
The startup’s main competitor for now is really Notion. The online documents tool has a great deal more name-recognition than Coda. However, a lot of that recognition can be put down to differing strategies - Coda is making much better headway with its B2B approach. In reality, features like Coda’s Packs are creating productivity magic for businesses; driving serious revenue for the growing company.
