Adblock, Inc. is a small team that serves tens of millions of people worldwide. Our vision is to provide our users with simple, intuitive tools to block distractions, protect their privacy, and put people in control of their internet experience.
Our products — AdBlock, Adblock Plus, and AdBlock VPN — have been downloaded hundreds of million times and work in all major web browsers, as well as on Apple MacOS, iOS, Windows, and Android devices.
Our team has been fully remote since inception, and we each work from whatever location works best for us. What unites us is a desire to make it easier and safer for our users to browse the web.
To achieve our mission, we need an experienced Content Marketer who can create helpful, engaging content to help our users navigate an increasingly confusing and distracting web. You’ll be joining a small, collaborative team and you’ll have the opportunity to establish our content strategy to help us engage and grow our audience.
Ultimately, success in this role will be measured by driving high-quality traffic to our websites and browser stores through organic channels, increasing applicable ranked keywords, and building a comprehensive back-linking network. To do that you’ll collaborate closely with our support, product, and engineering teams to create blog posts, research reports, and other content to showcase our work and how we help our users navigate the web safely. Our websites already receive millions of monthly unique visitors, so you’ll have the opportunity to expand on what’s grown organically.
We operate as a globally distributed team that spans many time zones. In this role you’ll be supporting teams based in both North America and Europe, so you’ll need to be able to have at least 4 hours of overlap with eastern time (ET) business hours.
