TreeHugger.com is looking to hire a remote online marketer

TreeHugger.com and PlanetGreen.com (part of Discovery Communications, home of Discovery channel, TLC, Animal Planet etc..) are looking for a smart, hard-driving, communicative marketer to help us market everything from specific posts to content areas to the overall site to other online sites.

This job involves a lot of tactical work. We’re looking for someone who can market specific posts to sites we have relationships with and sites we don’t. We want to drive traffic to specific posts and areas as well as build the number and quality of incoming links. We also want to push into areas of the web where we are less well known e.g. international, kids and other areas we may be unknown in (a recent site on an erotica site brought us tons of traffic as an example).

We need someone who can create compelling post marketing emails that are done in a respectful, high signal-to-noise fashion such that we can develop lasting relationships with other sites due to our ability to make their jobs easier for them.

We need someone who can comment on other relevant stories on other large sites, knows how to work well with digg and other popularity engines and understands the nature of the web. We want someone who enjoys analytics programs and figuring out how to drive traffic to a site in an honest and respectful manner.
